La La Land led the 2017 BAFTA Awards nominations with 11 nods, but it didn’t take home those 11 trophies, but it did pick up Best Film. Emma Stone won Best Actress for her role in the musical, Damien Chazelle took home the award for Best Director. Stephen Fry hosted the evening for the 12th time. This year’s award show, which took place at Royal Albert Hall, also happened to be celebrating its 70th anniversary Like any award show, host Fry began the evening with some jokes about some of the nominees, including Casey Affleck, calling him “one of the best actors in his family.” The Royals attending the evening awards with Kate Middleton stealing our attention.
