‘The Power of the Dog’ wins best picture at UK’s BAFTAs
Sci-fi epic “Dune” won five prizes and brooding Western “The Power of the Dog” was named best picture as the British Academy Film Awards returned Sunday with a live, black-tie ceremony after a pandemic-curtailed event in 2021. New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion was named best director for “The Power of the Dog,” becoming only the third woman to win the prize in the awards’ seven-decade history. Lead acting trophies went to Hollywood star Will Smith and British performer Joanna Scanlan.
