‘Conclave’ Wins Best Film at 2025 BAFTA Awards: Full Winners List

Conclave was named best film at the 2025 BAFTA Awards. It tied with The Brutalist for most wins at the ceremony (four each). The awards were held on Sunday (Feb. 16) at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Doctor Who star David Tennant hosted for the second year in a row. 

In addition to best film, Conclave won outstanding British film, adapted screenplay and editing.

The Brutalist took leading actor for Adrien Brody, director for Brady Corbet, original score for Daniel Blumberg and cinematography for Lol Crawley.

Runners-up with two awards each were Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Anora and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

Despite six nominations, the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown was shut out.

Brody has won best actor at most awards shows and is seen as the front-runner to take the Oscar on March 2. Other top awards still appear to be unsettled. The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez won the best picture awards at the Golden Globes. Anora won best picture at the Critics Choice Awards and was also victorious at three guild awards — the Producers Guild, Directors Guild and Writers Guild. With Conclave winning here, it adds more uncertainty to the Oscar race.

And while Anora’s Mikey Madison won best actress here, Demi Moore is still seen as very much in the hunt for the Oscar for best actress for The Substance.

Last year the outcome in the top eight categories (picture, director, the two writing awards and the four acting awards) at the BAFTAs and the Oscars was exactly the same, but two years ago there was no overlap in the winners in those categories at the two shows. And consider this: Only two of the last 10 BAFTA winners for best film went on to win the Oscar for best picture — Nomadland in 2021 and Oppenheimer in 2024.

Blumberg, who is also nominated for an Oscar for best original score, is an artist, musician, songwriter and composer from London. From 2005-’09, he was a founding member and lead singer for the band Cajun Dance Party. From 2009-’13, Blumberg was frontman and guitarist for the indie rock band Yuck.

Here’s the full list of 2025 BAFTA nominations, with winners marked.
