Baftas 2026: Full list of winners
The 2026 Baftas unfolded at London’s Royal Festival Hall, where the film industry gathered in force for one of its biggest nights of the year.
On Sunday night (22 February), actors including Timothée Chalamet, Paul Mescal, Michael B Jordan, Jessie Buckley and Emma Stone arrived at the star-studded ceremony honouring the best in British film.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s dark comedy One Battle After Another was the big winner of the year, winning six of its 14 nominations, including Best Film.
The film’s star Leonardo DiCaprio, however, missed out on the Best Actor prize, which went instead to I Swear’s Robert Aramayo in the biggest surprise of the night.
“I absolutely can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’m here looking at people like you, in the same category as you,” Aramayo said during his speech as he pointed to DiCaprio in the audience. “Never mind being stood up here.”
Irish actor Jessie Buckley, meanwhile, took home the award for Best Actress thanks to her searing portrayal as Anne Hathaway in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, which also won Outstanding British Film.
