In addition, One Battle After Another scored a fourth award, Supporting Actor of the Year for Sean Penn.
Elsewhere, Amy Madigan won Supporting Actress of the Year for Weapons, Josh O'Connor was named British/Irish Performer of the Year for his prolific body of work in 2025, and current BAFTA nominee Robert Aramayo received Breakthrough Performer of the Year for I Swear and Palestine 36.
