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.

Just when the Oscar front-runners were starting to come into focus, the BAFTA Awards 2025 threw conventional wisdom out the window in several key areas.

Chasing the leading two is Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist (nine), Sean Baker’s Anora (seven), Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two ( seven), and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown (six). The BAFTAs are yet another Oscar precursor that may give us a clearer indication of what’s to come at the Dolby on March 2.
