The Baftas may be known as a slightly more subdued affair than some of its awards season counterparts across the pond, but this year’s ceremony certainly wasn’t without its stand-out moments.
Between a chaotic performance of 500 Miles, speeches that had us laughing and crying in equal measure, incredible performances and red carpet ensembles that really stole the show, the 2025 Baftas (which took place at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday February 16) was a pretty eventful night.]
Here are all the moments you might have missed:
