“1917” was also named best British film and won the cinematography prize — Roger Deakins’ fifth win in that category. It also took the prizes for production design, sound and visual effects. No women were nominated as best director for the seventh year running, and all 20 nominees in the lead and supporting performer categories were white.
British star Cynthia Erivo, who is Oscar-nominated for her performance as abolitionist Harriet Tubman in “Harriet” but was snubbed by Britain’s Academy, declined an invitation to perform at Sunday’s award ceremony in protest.BAFTA chairwoman Pippa Harris said the problem was “an industry-wide issue.”
“So many women made great films this year,” she said. “And I think it just goes to show you that there is a systemic problem that is very prevalent.” Laura Dern was named best supporting actress for playing a take-no-prisoners divorce lawyer in “Marriage Story.She noted that her mother, Dianne Ladd, had won the exact same prize in 1975, when Dern was 6, for “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.”
