On Sunday night the winners of the 2019 British Independent Film Awards (aka 2019 BIFA Awards) were announced at a ceremony in London including the winner of the award for Best Production Design. This year’s BIFA Production Design category was sponsored by Studio Juice and featured some stiff competition. You will find the production design nominees and winner listed below.
Documentary For Sama was named Best British Independent Film 2019 at the 22nd BIFA ceremony, the first documentary to win that award. The Personal History of David Copperfield won two awards on the night: Best Supporting Actor for Hugh Laurie, who plays Mr Dick in Armando Iannucci’s adaptation of the Dickens classic, and Best Screenplay for writers Armando Iannucci and Simon Blackwell. Previously announced had been the film’s awards for Best Casting, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design.
Josh O’Connor’s portrayal of lovesick romantic Jake in Harry Wootliff’s debut feature Only You won him the Best Actor award. The film’s director Harry Wootliff was named Best Debut Director. Renée Zellweger won Best Actress for her performance as Judy Garland in Rupert Goold’s critically-acclaimed biopic, Judy. The film had also previously won Best Make Up & Hair Design.
