Three Billboards Wins Big At The Bafta Awards

(LONDON) — Ferocious female-led tragicomedy “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” was the big winner Sunday at the British Academy Film Awards in London, where women demanding an end to harassment, abuse and inequality dominated the ceremony. Martin McDonagh’s film about a bereaved mother seeking justice won five trophies including best film, outstanding British film and best actress, for Frances McDormand. Producer Graham Broadbent said the movie is “the story of a woman taking on the establishment and status quo.” “It seems more timely now than we could ever have imagined,” he said. Writer-director McDonagh said it was fitting, in the year of the “Time’s Up” campaign, that “Three Billboards” is “a film about a woman who refuses to take any s*** anymore.” “Our film is a hopeful one in lots of ways, but it’s also an angry one,” McDonagh said.
