Did you catch the BAFTAs this past Sunday? Over the next month, we screen a number of films that netted nominations or picked up awards at this year’s ceremony.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ bonkers fantasy drama Poor Things won a number of awards, including a win for Emma Stone in Best Actress, for her gonzo, incredible turn as the unlikely heroine Bella Baxter.
