BAFTAs 2026: Robert Aramayo Beats Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet to Win Best Actor

Global Films Rule BAFTAs

The 2026 BAFTA Awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall delivered a mixed result for British talent, with UK winners taking home 10 prizes, down from 17 last year, as international productions dominated major categories.

The night’s standout was Robert Aramayo, who claimed best actor and the public-voted rising star award for I Swear, based on the life of Scottish Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson. He triumphed over nominees including Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet and Ethan Hawke, calling the win “I absolutely can't believe this I honestly cannot believe I have won this award.”

Wunmi Mosaku won best supporting actress for Sinners, becoming the first Black British recipient in the category, ahead of Carey Mulligan, Emily Watson and Teyana Taylor.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, starring DiCaprio, Taylor and Sean Penn, led with six wins including best film and director. Sinners, led by Michael B. Jordan, secured three, including original score for Ludwig Göransson, while Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein won in craft categories.

Jessie Buckley took best actress for Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao and adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s novel. The ceremony was attended by Prince William and Catherine, who presented the BAFTA Fellowship.

British projects fared better in UK-specific awards, with Hamnet named best British film and Akinola Davies Jr and Wale Davies winning outstanding debut for My Father’s Shadow.
