Success behind the camera helps UK to strong Bafta performance

Director Jonathan Glazer and producer James Wilson were among the UK winners at the 2024 Bafta awards, for their film The Zone of Interest (Ian West/PA)

A clutch of awards celebrating achievement behind the camera saw the UK enjoy one of its strongest performances at the Baftas for several years – and helped make up for no wins in any of the main acting categories.

The dark fantasy comedy Poor Things came away with five awards in total, four of which involved British talent.
