Newcomer takes Baftas by storm with Best Actor win

Aramayo, the star of the British drama I Swear, held back tears during his acceptance speech, saying: “I absolutely can’t believe it. I can’t believe that I’m looking at people like you, in the same category as you, never mind that I’m stood here.”

While DiCaprio didn’t win Best Actor, his film One Battle After Another was otherwise the big winner of the night, taking home six trophies, including Best Picture and Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson. During one of his speeches he paid tribute to his long-time first assistant director Adam Somner, who died in 2024. The film additionally won the awards for Best Cinematography and Best Editing.
