22nd February 2014

Rebecca Wang joined Steve McQueen and Dame Judi Dench to attend the 67th Annual BAFTA Film Awards Ceremony in London on February 16th. The event, hosted by Stephen Fry, gathered together some of the most eminent filmmakers, directors, screen writers and actors in the industry today.

As a member of the Academy Circle, Rebecca Wang joined numerous stars, artists and supporters who were in attendance, including Steve McQueen, Dame Judi Dench, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hanks, Uma Thurman and Martin Scorcese.

The evening began glamorously on the red carpet at the Royal Opera House at 5pm. Champagne Taittinger was served before the award ceremony began at 6:15 pm, and then the honoured award recipients were announced for each category. After the ceremony, transport was provided to the Great Room at Grosvenor House Hotel for the official awards dinner, followed by the after party in the Grosvenor House Ballroom.

Commenting about the experience Rebecca Wang said, “It was an honour to be in the company of so many amazingly talented artists. I want to congratulate each of the award nominees and recipients. The Academy had some tough decisions to make this year.”

It was a successful night for the cinema industry in the UK. Steve McQueen’s Twelve Years a Slave won Best Film, and Chiwetel Ejiofur, who played the lead part, took the Leading Actor award. Twelve times nominated Gravity garnered six awards overall, including Best Director for Alfonso Cuaron. American Hustle saw two awards: Best Original Screenplay, and also Jennifer Lawrence’s Best Supporting Actress. Newcomer Somali-American actor Barkhad Abdi won Best Supporting Actor for his debut role in Captain Phillips, and Cate Blanchett triumphed as Leading Actress for her stunning performance in Blue Jasmine.
