Another Irish title, The Quiet Girl, won foreign-language film of the year in a tie win alongside Park Chan-wook’s noir thriller Decision to Leave. Laura Poitras’ pointed Nan Goldin film All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was named documentary of the year.

The ceremony was capped with the presentation of the Dilys Powell award for excellence in film to icon Michelle Yeoh, who was accompanied by her Everything Everywhere All at Once costar Ke Huy Quan.

Danny Boyle presented the honor at the end of the night.

Also in attendance were Florence Pugh and Bill Nighy, both named British/Irish actress and actor for their body of work in 2022.

Pugh was reunited with her The Wonder co-stars Tom Burke and Kíla Lord Cassidy. There was also a reunion for Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio, who played father and daughter in Aftersun. Corio won the young British/Irish performer award for her role, while Paul was on hand to accept writer-director Charlotte Wells’ Philip French Award for breakthrough British/Irish filmmaker.

The technical achievement Award went to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinnocchio for animation and was collected by Gregory Mann, who voiced the title character. British/Irish short film of the year was Keeran Anwar Blessie’s A Fox in the Night.
