‘The Artist’ Nearly Sweeps BAFTAs With Seven Major Awards

Meryl Streep prevented the cast and crew of The Artist from a total sweep of the major categories at this year’s British Academy Film Awards, presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and commonly called the BAFTAs. Streep won Best Actress for playing former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, and The Artist took Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Music and Best Costume Design.
There were a few good winners for categories in between all those, and we’ve got the full rundown after the break. Here’s the list of categories and nominations, with winners bolded. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy won a couple awards, but Best Actor slipped away from Gary Oldman. Good to see Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur taking home a debut award, while the wins for Octavia Spencer, Christopher Plummer and Rango conform more or less to expectation.
