Oppenheimer had a big day -- feels like it must be the most BAFTAs any film's won in quite a while --
This made me curious.
Oppenheimer won 7 Baftas out of 13 nominations.
The film with the record win is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1970) - which won 9 awards from 10 nods. It won for Best Film, Director (George Roy Hill), Actor (Robert Redford), Actress (Katherine Ross), Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Original Music, and Sound. The film won every category in which it was nominated — its only loss was to itself, as Redford beat out fellow nominee Paul Newman for Best Actor.
The Killing Fields (1984) won the second-most BAFTAs for a single movie. It won eight awards from 13 nods: Best Film, Best Actor and Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles for Haing S. Ngor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Production Design/Art Direction, and Best Sound.
The following nine films received seven BAFTAs each: Cabaret, Schindler’s List, Slumdog Millionaire, The King's Speech, The Artist, The Favourite, 1917, All Quiet on the Western Front, and now Oppenheimer.
The films with the most Bafta nods:
Gandhi (1982) scored 16 nods across 14 categories, winning for Best Film, Best Direction, Best Actor and Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles for Sir Ben Kingsley, and Best Supporting Actress for Rohini Hattangadi. It also received two Best Supporting Actor nods for Edward Fox and Roshan Seth, another Best Supporting Actress nod for Candice Bergen, and nods for Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup Artist, Best Production Design/Art Direction, Best Sound, and Best Score.
Shakespeare in Love (1998) received 15 nods. The film won the awards for Best Film, Best Supporting Actor for Geoffrey Rush, Best Supporting Actress for Judi Dench, and Best Editing. It also received nods for Best Direction, Best Actor for Joseph Fiennes, Best Actress for Gwyneth Paltrow, Best Supporting Actor for Tom Wilkinson, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Music, Best Makeup and Hair, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Sound.
Nine movies tie for third place with 14 BAFTA nods: A Room with a View; The Madness of King George; American Beauty; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Gladiator; The Aviator; Atonement; The King's Speech; and All Quiet on the Western Front.
