The 74th edition of the British Academy Film Awards held its first of two ceremonies on April 10. The edition was opened up remembering the late Duke of Edinburgh who has recently passed away at the age of 99.
The opening day ceremony was hosted virtually. 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' was the big winner of the BAFTAs. During the ceremony, eight primarily craft-focussed awards were announced. The category included casting, costume, makeup and hair, production design, sound, special visual effects, British short film, and British short animation. The second ceremony is scheduled for the subsequent day. 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' took home two golden masks. 'Mank', 'Tenet' and 'Sound of Metal' also won.
Talking about the late Duke of Edinburgh was BAFTA's first president 60 years ago, beginning a line of Royal patronage which continues with his son Prince William, who had been scheduled to make an appearance during the awards but had to pull out after the news of the demise of his grandfather. By, the way, here is the list.
