Deepika Padukone stuns in Sabyasachi
The internet went into a frenzy as Bollywood star Deepika Padukone graced the EE BAFTA Film Awards in a stunning Sabyasachi saree. The shimmering saree draped flawlessly around her created a symphony of Indian tradition with a touch of glamor. After effortlessly mesmerizing the crowd at the red carpet, the actress was seen casting spells of admiration and awe as she presented the award for ‘Best Film Not In The English Language’, making India proud once again!

Barbie goes BAFTA less
In a twist to the fairy tale, the 77th EE BAFTA Film Awards saw Barbie walk home empty-handed. Despite having 5 nominations across various categories, Margot Robbie and crew failed to secure a single BAFTA win leaving most surprised at this unexpected ‘snub’.

Oppenheimer goes Atomic (Get it?) 
This fairy tale saw no twists and turns but a grandeur of success, as Oppenheimer ruled the BAFTAs this year. Christopher Nolan received a well deserved First BAFTA Award for Best Director while Cillian Murphy and RDJ were felicitated with Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Oppenheimer also took the cake for Best Film, marking a perfect ending to their day!

Prince William is in the House
It’s been the talk of the town, Prince William attended the 77th EE BAFTA Film Awards without Kate (Scandalous?). The British Royal appeared in support of the awards as a way to honor British talent and excellence. While he may not have a vote, winning a BAFTA in front of Prince William must certainly be a moment of true pride for the winners.

⁠David Tenant cracks up the audience
You couldn't have picked a better host to capture the essence of British culture in an elegant, classy and overall hilarious way. David Tenant, actor extraordinaire, hosted the Awards with such class and pizzaz, leaving the audience in tears with his playful and joyous sense of humor.

⁠All Love for Michael fox
In a surprise and rare public appearance, the awards saw the appearance of cult-favorite Michael J Fox. The Back to The Future Actor was a presenter for an award, which saw him arrive on stage in a wheelchair, due to his Parkinson's disease. Despite that the actor stood up to present the awards, warranting a standing ovation from the entire audience in support of him, making for a truly heartwarming and memorable moment.
