"Oppenheimer" Dominates the BAFTA and SAG Ceremonies; "All of Us Strangers" Wins Big at Dorian Awards

Over the last two weeks, the awards season reached a boiling point with several major ceremonies held around the world.

First came the 77th annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Film Awards held in London on February 18 and hosted by "Doctor Who" star David Tennant. The night's big winner was Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," which won seven awards including Best Film, Director, Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

"Poor Things" took home five BAFTA Film Awards, including Best Actress for Emma Stone. "The Holdovers" continues to garner acclaim for its cast, with the film winning Best Casting and Da'Vine Joy Randolph earning another award for her supporting role as a bereaved mother.

The 30th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, held in Los Angeles on February 24, brought a few surprises and added a mix of uncertainty to the upcoming Academy Awards. Lead actresses Stone and Lily Gladstone ("Killers of the Flower Moon") have both performed well this awards season, but many experts were predicting that Stone would edge out Gladstone for the Oscar. Gladstone triumphed at the SAG Awards, giving her momentum and shifting the odds two weeks before the awards season's main event. Murphy, Downey, and Randolph cemented their positions as frontrunners, taking home awards in their respective categories. "Oppenheimer" additionally took home the night's top film prize, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

SAG also recognized the season's top performances in television, with "Succession" and "The Bear" earning the top prizes for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and Comedy Series, respectively. "Succession" did not fare as well in the individual Drama Series categories, as Pedro Pascal of "The Last of Us" beat three of its stars (Brian Cox and recent Golden Globe winners Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen) in the Male Actor category, and Golden Globe winner Elizabeth Debicki of "The Crown" won another trophy, beating out Sarah Snook for Female Actor. "The Bear" stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri continued their sweeps of the awards season in the Comedy Series individual categories, and Steven Yeun and Ali Wong picked up more trophies for their performances in Netflix's limited series "Beef."

Another highlight of the evening was Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper presenting screen legend Barbra Streisand with SAG's Life Achievement Award.

Lastly, the 15th annual Dorian Awards were presented by GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics on February 26. Andrew Haigh's supernatural drama "All of Us Strangers," starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, won three awards including Film of the Year and LGBTQ Film of the Year.

While "Barbie" ruled the box office in 2023, it has failed to win many major industry awards. The blockbuster took home two awards, including Director of the Year for Greta Gerwig, who did not earn an Oscar nomination. "May December" also won a pair of awards – Screenplay of the Year and Supporting Film Performance of the Year for Charles Melton. Additionally, the film's director Todd Haynes won the Wilde Artist Award, which goes to an individual the organization considers a "truly groundbreaking force in entertainment." Gladstone won the other individual acting honor, Film Performance of the Year.

"Rustin" star Colman Domingo won the LGBTQIA+ Film Trailblazer Award "for creating art that inspires empathy, truth, and equity," while Edebiri of "The Bear" took home the "We're Wilde About You!" Rising Star Award.

The organization also recognized two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster with its Timeless Star Award "honoring an exemplary career marked by character, wisdom, and wit."
