The continuous-shot dash into enemy territory during World War I received the two most important awards it was vying for: Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director. The lack of nominations in the rest of the categories (besides these two, it was only up for Best Score) and the presence of strong competitors prompted a very heterogeneous list of winners, although not a very European one.

UK’s Taron Egerton was one of the surprise winners of the evening, taking home the Best Actor – Musical or Comedy award for his portrait of Elton John in Dexter Fletcher’s biopic of the music star Rocketman [+lire aussi :
