Big winners and surprises at 2023 BAFTAs l GMA

Now we're going to turn to our GMA cover story. The Road to the Oscars. The stars were out in force last night in the UK for the BAFTA Awards, often seen as a harbinger of things to come at the Academy Awards. And if that is the case this year, we may be in for some surprises. It was the night of glitz and royal glamour at the British Academy Film Awards. Inside the Royal Albert Hall, Prince William and Princess Kate, rubbing shoulders with movie royalty, William Dapper and a tux, Kate stunning in the same Alexander McQueen gown she awarded the BAFTAs in 2019, a statement on sustainability. Austin Butler.

And the awards themselves making noise. Elvis leading man Austin Butler taking home Best Actor. I want to thank the Presley family. I cannot thank you guys enough for your love. I hope I've made you proud. Best actress going to Kate Blanchett for her performance in Tar. To my family, thank you so much for letting me go because it did take a lot.

It took me away from you. An enormous lot. But it was anything but quiet for the biggest winner of the night, all quiet on the Western Front. The World War I epic, grabbing seven awards, breaking the BAFTA record for most awards won by a film not in English. While the banshees of Inishirah and actors Carrie Condon and Barry Keoghan sweeping the supporting actor and actress categories. Please welcome Dame Helen Mirren. And Dame Helen Mirren leading a special tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who during her reign was a major patron of the arts.

Mirren famously winning her own BAFTA for her on-screen portrayal of the Queen. Your Majesty, you were our nation's leading star. On behalf of BAFTA, thank you for all that you have done for our film and television industry. Beautiful tribute there to the Queen. An exciting look at what's to come at the Oscars. Very excited. Is that still going to be on? The boots? No, no.

We're getting very close. Do you have your shoes picked out yet? No, no. I just got to get the boot off first. Okay, we're all calling for you. Thank you. Well, hey there, GMA fans. Robin Roberts here.
