Bafta Film Awards 2025: ‘Conclave’ Takes Top Honors Over ‘The Brutalist’

The 2025 Bafta Film Awards delivered a night of glitz, unexpected wins, and—unfortunately for host David Tennant—some cringeworthy jokes. Held at the Royal Festival Hall, the ceremony featured standout performances, including a lively Take That set, and major victories for Conclave, The Brutalist, and A Real Pain.

The biggest winner of the night was Conclave, Edward Berger’s gripping Vatican thriller, which took home both Best Film and Outstanding British Film—raising speculation about its potential success at the Oscars.

Adrien Brody finally secured his first Bafta, winning Best Leading Actor for The Brutalist, while Mikey Madison pulled off an upset, beating frontrunner Demi Moore to win Best Leading Actress for Anora.
