On the television front, “Big Little Lies” also went back home with four wins, including best-limited series prize. “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” won in the top drama and comedy fields.
Film acting honours went to Gary Oldman (“Darkest Hour”) and Allison Janney (“I, Tonya”) joined by Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”).
While the television acting honours were lauded on Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”), Nicole Kidman (“Big Little Lies”), Ted Danson (“The Good Place”) and Mayim Bialik (“The Big Bang Theory”).
The BFCA’s genre categories went to “Get Out” for the best sci-fi/horror film, “Wonder Woman” for the best action film and “The Big Sick” for the best comedy film.
“Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins presented Gal Gadot with the #SeeHer Award, honouring women who push boundaries and recognise the importance of accurately portraying women across the entertainment landscape.
