BAFTA Craft Awards: Christopher Nolan's Tenet wins for visual effects, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom bags 2 wins

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) 2021 officially kicked off on Saturday night. This year the awards show has been spread out over two nights and the first night saw the crafts-focused awards being announced. Awards in casting, costume, makeup and hair, production design, sound, special visual effects, British short film and British short animation were announced. 

Prince Williams was slated to make an appearance virtually, however, the Duke of Cambridge had to pull out of the awards show due to grandfather Prince Philip's demise on Friday. Bafta's first award night was held virtually from London's Royal Albert Hall and was hosted by BBC radio presenter Clara Amfo. Christopher Nolan's Tenet secured a win for Special Visual Effects, whereas Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis' Ma Rainey's Black Bottom swept the makeup and costume awards.
