Bafta Film Awards 2022: ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Best Film, ‘Dune’ Leads With Five Wins

BAFTA Film Awards 2022, the most celebrated event in the British film industry calendar was held in person for the first time since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

The star-studded ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday saw Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic “Dune” as a big winner with five wins in the craft categories, However,  it was Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” that bagged the coveted best film and director awards.

As the Critics Choice Awards landed on the same day so many of the nominees of this year’s Bafta were not in the presence and their co-stars had to step forward to accept awards on the winners’ behalf.
