best director (Christophe­r Nolan)

and best film for a total of seven honors, after leading the pack with 13 nomination­s. Poor Things, which was nominated 11 times, also had a strong BAFTA evening, winning five of the famous BAFTA mask trophies, including one for Emma Stone as best actress. Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest was honored three times, while Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Maestro were shut out. — KIRSTEN CHUBA
