Who won the special-recognition BAFTAs?

The 2026 special-recognition winners included My Father’s Shadow, Clare Binns, Dame Donna Langley and Robert Aramayo. These honours do not all operate as ordinary competitive film categories, so they should be read separately from the category results above.

Award Winner How the award works
Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer My Father’s Shadow — Akinola Davies Jr. and Wale Davies Competitive debut category
Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Clare Binns Contribution award
EE Rising Star Robert Aramayo The only 2026 Film Awards category decided by a public vote
Fellowship Dame Donna Langley Non-competitive career honour

BAFTA describes the Fellowship as “the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA in recognition of an individual’s outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, games or television across their career.” BAFTA also states that “The EE Rising Star Award, the only award voted for by the public, went to Robert Aramayo.” Both statements appear in the official 2026 winners release.

How should the 2026 BAFTA results be read?

The results show two different kinds of success. One Battle After Another dominated the central narrative and filmmaking categories, combining the top film prize with directing, screenplay, acting and post-production awards. Sinners paired a screenplay win with supporting acting and score, while Frankenstein’s three victories were concentrated in design and make-up craft.

The British Film Institute’s 2026 roundup provides an independent editorial reference for the results.
