BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film

The BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film is a yearly prize given by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at the BAFTA Film Awards in London, United Kingdom. It honors outstanding and original British filmmaking with creativity and innovation. The 2025 winner is Edward Berger for Conclave, and the current holder (as of 2024) is Conclave.

History and name: The award began at the first BAFTA Awards for films released in 1947. It stopped after 1968 and was revived for films released in 1992. It was formerly known as the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film; today it is called Outstanding British Film.

Eligibility: To be nominated, a film must have significant creative involvement by British people, including those who have lived in the UK for at least ten years. The nominees are the film’s directors, writers, and up to three producers. If none of these are British, the film may still be eligible only in exceptional circumstances.

Notes: The year shown for each film is its release year, not the ceremony year (the ceremony happens the following year).
