The article 'Bafta shares the love at film awards' was published on the website of the newspaper 'BBC News' on February 11, 2013. It was written by Emma Saunders.
The aim of the article is to tell about of British analogy of Oscar BAFTA. The author describes 2013 British Academy Awards.
Emma Saunders compares BAFTA with Oscar, and tells 'this year's Baftas proved to be a night where not one film dominated as some big hitters, including Lincoln and Life of Pi, failed to win big'.
So, first of all, it was said that 'Lincoln' picked up just one award - predictably for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor. Ang Lee's adaptation of novel 'Life of Pi' only won two out of a possible nine awards - best visual effects and best cinematography.
Further musical 'Les Miserables' was the biggest winner of the night with four awards out of a possible nine. But three of those were in the less weighty technical categories: production design, sound and make up and hair. And Anne Hathaway was a favourite to win best supporting actress.
It was 'Amour''s Emmanuelle Riva who was the big surprise of the night, winning the Bafta for best actress. It was just a shame she couldn't be there to collect it. 'Amour' also won best foreign film but again, director Michael Haneke was absent.
'Argo' continued apace with Ben Affleck - controversially overlooked for a best director Oscar nomination - winning the equivalent Bafta, with his movie also winning the best film prize. But it wasn't just the Americans having all the fun. Bond movie 'Skyfall' won both outstanding British film and original music in the series' 50th anniversary year. Quentin Tarantino also picked up the original screenplay Bafta for his western slavery epic, 'Django Unchained'. And Pixar's 'Brave' won best animation, which could point to an Oscar win later this month in the same category.
The author notes David O Russell was rewarded with the best adapted screenplay prize for 'Silver Linings Playbook'. Russell, who made the film for his son who has bipolar disorder, said: "I know it personally from the inside... (it's about) removing the stigma." Host Stephen Fry, who has spoken publicly about his own experience of bipolar disorder, paid tribute to Russell after he left the stage.
Summing it all up, I'd like to say that there are many awards for actors, actresses and directors except Oscar, and which are also wide-world respected.
