Awards News: Hurt Locker, Avatar win at Bafta, IFTA and Golden Reel Awards


Sunday February 21 saw the awarding of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.  The Hurt Locker took the top prize, as did Kathryn Bigelow for the directing award.  It received six awards in total.  The acting awards varied from previous ceremonies in that the top prizes went to British actors Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan instead of Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock.  But Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique still won the supporting awards as they have at many other awards ceremonies. 

The Hurt Locker also won at the Irish Film & Television Awards (IFTA) on Saturday with Irish writer-director Jim Sheridan taking the directing award for Brothers. Irish films The Eclipse and Ondine were multiple award winners.  Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr. won acting awards in the international categories.

Avatar won two awards at the Golden Reel Awards, also given on Saturday.  These awards are given in recognition of sound editors.  Sound editing differs from the sound awards in that the editors are responsible more for the recording, creating or selecting of sounds, whereas the sound mixing preimarily relates to the subsequent blending of all the elements. Up, District 9,This Is It and Inglourious Basterds each took a single award.

Saturday also saw the Academy Awards ceremony for the Scientific & Technical Awards Winners.  Many of the awards were for digital lighting and digital intermediate technology. The evening was hosted by actress Elizabeth Banks at the Beverly Wilshire, and she frequently poked fun at the "nerds" receiving the awards.

The list of winners for these four awards ceremonies are as follows:
