The Best Actress award was won by British actress Olivia Colman for the film ‘The Favourite.’
In the best picture category, the honour was taken by ‘Green Book’ that ended up winning three trophies in total. The picture also won the Producers Guild prize this year.
The best director award was taken by Alfonso Cuaron for the hot favourite “Roma.”
In the department of best supporting actors, the male trophy was coveted for the second time by Mahershala Ali for his work in the film “Green Book”, while the female trophy in the supporting category went to Regina King for the film “If Beale Street Could Talk.”
