Bafta 2025 Winners – Highlights, Surprises, and Backstage Moments
The Bafta Film Awards 2025 were nothing short of spectacular, with host David Tennant kicking things off in style. His opening performance of I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers, featuring cameos from stars like Selena Gomez and Hugh Grant, set the tone for a night filled with energy, surprises, and memorable moments. As the evening unfolded, Conclave and The Brutalist emerged as the biggest winners, each taking home four awards. But beyond the trophies, the real magic happened backstage, where stars shared their excitement, exhaustion, and, in some cases, disbelief at their victories.

Mikey Madison, who won Best Actress for Anora , admitted that she hadn't prepared a speech, all thanks to Robert De Niro's advice. "He told me not to write one, so I listened—and then I forgot to thank half the people I should have," she laughed. Meanwhile, Jesse Eisenberg, who won Best Original Screenplay for A Real Pain , joked about how heavy the Bafta trophy was. "Am I supposed to hold this the whole time?" he asked, before quipping that maybe he should move to the UK, given his recent success with British awards.
Wallace and Gromit’s latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl , had its own fun backstage moment. Director Merlin Crossingham joked about a very British gag in the film—naming a TV presenter Anton Deck (a nod to UK hosts Ant & Dec)—which completely confused American audiences. "There was silence in US screenings, except for one Brit laughing in the corner," he said, clearly proud of the joke.
Zoe Saldaña continued her awards season dominance, winning Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Pérez . Reflecting on performing in a Spanish-language musical, she called it a deeply personal experience: "It’s my first language. To finally connect my culture with my art—it means the world to me."
There were plenty of unexpected moments, too. Warwick Davis, honored with the prestigious Bafta Fellowship, hilariously revealed that he first thought the email notifying him was a scam. "I was actually on the toilet when I read it," he admitted with a laugh. And Adrien Brody, fresh off his Best Actor win for The Brutalist , confessed he was too hungry to fully process his victory. "I haven’t eaten all day, but I’m really happy to be here," he grinned.
Conclave director Edward Berger summed up the night’s emotions best, saying he felt truly welcomed by the British film industry. "I just want to live here now," he joked. And Brady Corbet, who won Best Director for The Brutalist , expressed cautious optimism about the future of cinema: "People do want original, daring movies. Seeing our film succeed gives me more hope than usual."
With unforgettable wins, heartfelt speeches, and a few laugh-out-loud backstage moments, Bafta 2025 proved once again why it remains one of the most prestigious nights in film. Now, all eyes turn to the Oscars—will these winners repeat their success on Hollywood’s biggest stage?
