BAFTA Film Awards winners 2025: Full list as Conclave and The Brutalist win big
Edward Berger's papal thriller won the top prize.
The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards have crowned this year's winners at a glittering ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall, with Edward Berger's papal thriller Conclave emerging as the winner of the Best Film award.
The film saw off competition from the likes of Sean Baker's Oscar frontrunner Anora and Brady Corbet's epic drama The Brutalist to claim the top prize, one of four awards it picked up on the night.
Meanwhile, Adrien Brody won the award for Best Actor for his towering lead performance in The Brutalist, while Anora's Mikey Madison was named Best Actress ahead of The Substance star Demi Moore.
Other highlights from the ceremony included Industry and Alien: Romulus star David Jonsson being crowned the latest winner of the EE Rising Star Award, MediCinema accepting the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award and Warwick Davis receiving the BAFTA Fellowship
The ceremony was hosted for the second year in a row by David Tennant and also included musical performances from Take That and Jeff Goldblum, the latter of whom provided piano accompaniment for the In Memoriam section – which included tributes to a number of film legends including David Lynch and Maggie Smith.
