The UK film industry showered Valentine’s Day love on The Revenant, honouring the endurance epic five awards, including best picture and best actor, at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) on Sunday.
Leonardo DiCaprio cemented his Oscar-favourite status by taking the best actor trophy for playing a bear-battling fur trapper in a brutally wild American West. Alejandro G. Inarritu was named best director for what he called a “human and tender story,” and The Revenant also won prizes for cinematography and sound.

The British awards, known as BAFTAs, are considered a portent of success at Hollywood’s Feb. 28 Academy Awards. The Revenant has earned DiCaprio his sixth Oscar nomination — and, many believe, his best shot at finally winning. DiCaprio said it was out of his hands, but expressed pride in what he called “not just a film, but an epic journey we all went on.” “We put our heart and soul into this movie ... It’s up to the world now and voters to decide,” he said at a post-ceremony news conference.
