The 2025 BAFTAs (British Academy Film and Television Awards) honored the best in film during its ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 16. Some of the night’s biggest winners were Conclave, The Brutalist and A Real Pain, which was written, directed and produced by its star, Jesse Eisenberg. Jesse even accepted the Supporting Actor award on his co-star Kieran Culkin‘s behalf, who couldn’t attend the awards show due to a family member’s illness, Jesse revealed in a speech.
“He’s in New York with a family member who’s quite sick,” Jesse explained, before quipping, “And he is so devoted as a family dad that he tried to drop out of my movie two weeks before we started shooting because he didn’t want to leave his kids.”
Mikey Madison was also awarded in the Leading Actress categor. Though The Substance‘sDemi Moore has been the big winner this awards season, the BAFTAs chose Mikey for her performance in Anora. After her name was called, she jokingly mentioned that she “should’ve listened to my publicist when she told me to write a speech.”
“I do want to just take a moment to recognize the sex worker community,” Mikey added in her speech. “I just want to say that I see you. You deserve respect and human decency. I will always be a friend and ally.”
