Bafta 2013: Argo’s push continues


Another weekend, another set of gongs for Argo. This time it secured Best Film and Best Editing, while Ben Affleck grabbed Best Director.

The other big winner on the night was Les Mis: Anne Hathaway inevitably won Best Supporting Actress, while craft and technical gongs also went the way of the musical.

Amour did well, predictably winning Best Foreign Film, but also snagging Best Actress for Emmanuelle Riva.

Tarantino’s spaghetti slavery epic unaccountably won Best Original Screenplay, while Christoph Waltz, er, waltzed off with Best Supporting Actor.

Also nabbing a pair of Baftas each were Skyfall and Life Of Pi.

Anna Karenina won Best Costume Design as expected.

And Lincoln? Just the one for DDL in the title role.

Oscar night is now just a fortnight away – and one week later Argo will be out on DVD. The marketing team and printers will be pulling a late one to turn the packaging design in time to take account of the Oscars it must surely now win.
