1917, the WWI movie about the desperate attempt to deliver a message to the front lines, won 7 British Academy Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) at the 73rd ceremony held February 2, 2020. It was nominated for nine. It won:
Best Film
Best Direction (Sam Mendes)
Best Cinematography (Roger Deakins)
Best Production (Dennis Gassner and Lee Sandales)
Best Sound
Best Special Visual Effects
Outstanding British Film
The only two categories the movie didn't win were Best Makeup and Hari and Best Original Music. I was disappointed to see that 1917 did not get any Best Actor nominations, since the acting was spectacular. George Mackay, the lead actor, put in a lot of hard work and did an awesome job, as did Dean-Charles Chapman, in the supporting role. The movie had many other stellar actors such as Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Richard Madden.
But it definitely deserved every one of the awards it received.
