Winner's acceptance speech by Yorgos Lanthimos for The Favourite in the Outstanding British Film category
YORGOS LANTHIMOS: Hi. Thank you so much. Thank you, BAFTA. It's a great honour.
This film took 20 years to make. I contributed to the last 10.
I want to thank the producers for trusting me. My wonderful crew. Waypoint, Film4, and Fox Searchlight for bringing it to the world.
And, of course, the three leading ladies that I couldn't be more proud of.
Thank you very much.
