“The Power of the Dog”, which had been in the shadow of the five awards for “Dune” throughout the gala, ended up winning the most important ones, that of direction, which went to Campion, and that of best film.
The award was presented by Tom Hiddleston and collected by all the film’s participants who were present at the Royal Albert Hall, with the great absence of Campion.
Among them were Benedict Cumberbatch, the film’s star; Jonny Grenwood, guitarist for Radiohead and composer of the soundtrack; Kodi Smit-Mcphee, nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and producer Tanya Seghatchian, who spoke to Campion.
“You’ve been telling stories for thirty years. Stories of women seeking to find their voices, stories of misfits, of people who have not been represented. Thank you very much for all your work,” Seghatchian said.

Britain’s Benedict Cumberbatch, who came to the gala as a best actor nominee for his work in “The Power of the Dog,” took a few minutes to speak to the protesters.
Cumberbatch wore a pin with the colors of the Ukrainian flag, as did the young Woody Norman, at 11 years old the youngest of this year’s nominees, in the category of best supporting actor, for “C’mon C’ mon”.
