Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet's Surprising BAFTAs Results Revealed

The BAFTAs on Sunday delivered unexpected results, leaving Timothée Chalamet without a win. Robert Aramayo of "I Swear," a film not yet released outside the UK, won Best Actor despite not being nominated for an Oscar.

Surprise Wins and Snubs

An unusual twist saw Robert Aramayo take home the Best Actor award at the BAFTAs, marking the first time since 2001 that someone not nominated for an Oscar claimed the title. Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet, previously seen as a strong contender, failed to win despite his success with other awards season victories for "Marty Supreme."

International Influences on Awards Season

With 25% of Academy voters residing overseas and overlapping with BAFTA members, international preferences could affect upcoming Oscar decisions. This places actors like Leonardo DiCaprio in "One Battle After Another," Michael B. Jordan in "Sinners," and Wagner Moura in "The Secret Agent" as possible contenders.

Other Key Performers

British actress Wunmi Mosaku won her first major award for Best Supporting Actress in "Sinners," introducing fresh competition into a previously two-actress race with Teyana Taylor and Amy Madigan. Sean Penn surprised audiences by winning after being overlooked for months.

The pack remains tight across many categories, except for Jessie Buckley in "Hamnet," who is almost certain to claim the Oscar for Best Actress after her BAFTA victory. Meanwhile, Paul Thomas Anderson's work on "One Battle After Another" promises further success on Oscar night.
