Brazil ended up with no awards at the BAFTA Awards, considered the British Oscar, this Sunday. The film “The Secret Agent” competed in two categories, as well as Brazilian director of photography Adolpho Veloso and documentary filmmaker Petra Costa. Wagner Moura, who is on the list of nominees for Best Actor at the Oscars, was not nominated for a BAFTA. Last year, Brazil was also left without a prize, when it competed with “I’m Still Here”.
The Best Film of the year at the British Oscars was “One Battle After Another”, which beat strong competitors such as “Hamnet”, “Sinners”, “Marty Supreme” and “Sentimental Valor”.
The award for Best Non-English Language Film went to “Valor Sentimental”, from Norway. In addition to the Brazilian film, “Just An Accident” (France), “Sirât” (Spain) and “The Voice of Hind Rajab” (Tunisia) competed in this category.
