LONDON, ENGLAND: Catherine Zeta-Jones rocked a stunning purple, yellow and gold sheer, beaded gown as she took the stage at the 76th British Academy Film Awards on February 19. It was toward the end of the ceremony when the actress, 53, appeared on stage in her extraordinary Tony Ward couture gown as she announced and presented the 'Best Film' award to 'All Quiet On The Western Front'.

The gown featured a gorgeous translucent gold skirt that flowed into an illusion bodice with purple beaded accents. The dress also had a sheer yellow train that extended several feet. The actress wore her raven hair in a straightforward side-swept style.

'All Quiet On The Western Front,' a Netflix German war drama that won seven awards overall, including Best Picture and Best Director, was the night's main winner. In an unexpected upset, Austin Butler won Best Actor at the ceremony, defeating favorite Colin Farrell, as per Daily Mail. The actor, who played the late King Of Rock in the Baz Lurhmann movie 'Elvis', fought back tears as he paid tribute to the Presley family as he accepted the award. Butler, who still spoke at the event in the Elvis drawl he developed for Baz Luhrmann's film, said, "This means the world to me." He said that he "hopes he made them proud" as he paid gratitude to the Presley family for providing details about Elvis' life for the movie.

Cate Blanchett won Best Leading Actress for 'Tar'

Cate Blanchett won Best Leading Actress for her portrayal in the biopic 'Tar,' which was the movie's lone significant victory of the evening. She gratefully acknowledged her mother in her speech and the filmmaker Todd Field as she tearfully took the award, also mentioning that 2022 had been a "amazing year for women."

'The Banshees of Inisherin' came in second place with five awards, for original screenplay by McDonagh, best supporting actress Kerry Condon, and best supporting actor Barry Keoghan. The Academy Award front-runner, the absurd metaverse frolic 'Everything Everywhere All at Once', was the night's biggest loser, taking home just one award for editing out of its ten BAFTA nominations.
