The sci-fi epic took home best picture, best leading performance, and best director for filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The pair used their acceptance speeches to praise all those who advocate for “new fresh voices” within the film industry. Several British and Irish names were nominated at the awards show, which took place in Santa Monica, California, though there was little success. Scottish director Charlotte Wells took home best first feature for her film Aftersun, starring Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio. Mescal was tipped for the best lead performance category, but lost out to Yeoh.
