BOYHOOD Wins Top Honors at 2015 BAFTA Awards

Boyhood wins Best Picture at 2015 BAFTA Awards

Well, this was unexpected. While "Birdman" was cleaning up all the Guild awards in the U.S., "Boyhood" created an upset by winning Best Film and Best Director (Richard Linklater) at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. The film also picked up an award for Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette). The BAFTAs ignored "Birdman" for the top awards, but did send it home with a much deserved win for Cinematography (Emmanuel Lubezki).

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" was actually the big winner of the evening with a total of 5 awards, including Original Screenplay, Production Design and Original Music. "The Theory of Everything" scored wins for Best British Film and Leading Actor (Eddie Redmayne), and Julianne Moore took home the Leading Actress award for her performance in "Still Alice"
