Following a similar triumph at last month’s BAFTAs, the acclaimed biopic won seven golden statuettes, including Best Film and a first Best Director award for Christopher Nolan. Cillian Murphy (Best Actor) and Robert Downey Jr (Best Supporting Actor) were winners in the acting categories, while the film also won Best Original Score, Cinematography, and Editing.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things won four Oscars, led by a surprise Best Actress award for Emma Stone – her second after 2017’s La La Land – as well as Best Production Design, Make-up and Hairstyling, and Costume Design. Four PGGB Members worked on Poor Things: Kasia Malipan (Co Producer), Nikki Chamberlin (Financial Controller), Sairh Sheikh (Production Accountant UK) and Matthew Moss (Production Coordinator).
Another big BAFTAs winner, Jonathan Glazer’s haunting Auschwitz drama The Zone of Interest won Best International Film – and was the first British film to do so – and Best Sound. PGGB Member Jon Miller was Financial Controller on the film.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was nominated for eight awards, winning Best Original Song for Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell’s What Was I Made For? PGGB Members Michael Sharp (Executive Producer), Gary Nixon (Financial Controller), Beth Timbrell (UPM), James Broom (Production Accountant), Alistair Steele (Assistant to Executive Producer) and Debbie Parslow (2nd Assistant Accountant) worked on the record-breaking film.
Finally, Wes Anderson’s Netflix Roald Dahl adaptation The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar won Best Live Action Short, and eleven PGGB Members worked on the production: Ruby Avards (Financial Controller), Amy Moore (Production Supervisor), Francesca Budd (Production Coordinator), Marc Ronnie (Action Props Assistant), Ross Mccarey (Payroll Accountant), Alice Dawson (Co-Producer), Michael Kilpatrick (Production Accountant), Kimberley Franklin (Production Accountant), Darren Chesney (UPM), Louise Morrison (1st Assistant Accountant) and Ronan Quigley (2nd Assistant Accountant).
Huge congratulations to these Members who were part of these award-winning productions, as well as those nominated. These films would not be possible if it were not for the wonderful below the line talent working across them, including the host of world-class talent here in the UK.
