Sky summarise their success as follows:

The EE British Academy Film Awards winners were announced this weekend at a virtual ceremony hosted by Edith Bowman, Dermot O’Leary and Clara Amfo. The acclaimed film, Promising Young Woman, won two Awards in the following categories, the first time a Sky Original film has won a BAFTA.

Outstanding British Film. Written and directed by Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve) and produced by Ben Browning (Passengers), Ashley Fox (The Courier) and Josey McNamara (Dreamland)­.

Original Screenplay: Written and directed by Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve) and produced by Ben Browning (Passengers), Ashley Fox (The Courier) and Josey McNamara (Dreamland)­.

Promising Young Woman, which is also nominated for 5 Academy Awards® including Best Picture, is a bold new vision that has ignited a debate. Carey Mulligan stars as ‘Cassie’; a wickedly smart but singularly focused woman, who in order to overcome events from her past lives a double life by night. Following an unexpected encounter, Cassie is given the chance to right the wrongs of the past.

The full list of winners in all categories is available now from BAFTA. You can watch the film for yourself on Sky from April 16. The full Sky press release is also available.
