One of the final stops for top contenders on the Oscars trail really heated up the race on Sunday.

Alan Cumming hosted the 2026 BAFTA Awards ceremony Feb. 22, with winners announced during a live telecast from the United Kingdom, where the region's equivalent to the Academy Awards has added fuel to the fire in the ongoing Oscars contest.

Announced five days after the 2026 Oscar nods, the BAFTA nominations anointed presumed Best Picture frontrunner *One Battle After Another* as the European organization's leader, with 14 nods overall. The picture won six awards at the event: Best Film, Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Supporting Actor for Sean Penn, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography.

Despite breaking a historic Academy Awards record by earning 16 total Oscar nods, *Sinners* trailed close behind with 13 BAFTA nominations this year, winning three: Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku, Best Original Score, and Best Original Screenplay for writer-director Ryan Coogler, who made history as the first Black winner in the category.

Robert Aramayo had the twin distinction of winning Best Actor for his starring role in Tourette's syndrome drama *I Swear*, which has yet to be released widely in the U.S., and the EE Rising Star Award, which is voted on by the public. Aramayo is perhaps best known to U.S. viewers as Elrond in Prime Video series *The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power*.

Jessie Buckley won the Best Actress award for her starring role in *Hamnet*, which itself won Outstanding British Film.

A key precursor on the road to the Oscars, the BAFTAs often foretell Academy tastes, with the voting bodies sharing huge overlap in membership.

Last year, BAFTA and the Academy shared all four acting category winners, with Adrien Brody (*The Brutalist*), Mikey Madison (*Anora*), Kieran Culkin *(A Real Pain)*, and Zoe Saldaña (*Emilia Pérez*) winning trophies from both groups in their respective brackets.
