Literary adaptation Atonement took home the Best Film award at this year's BAFTAs, though it was La Vie En Rose and No Country for Old Men which won the most awards. While Atonement received just one other award, for Production Design, La Vie En Rose was the top winner overall with four honors, including Best Actress for Marion Cotillard and three technical awards for Music, Costume Design and Make Up & Hair. The Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men, which is heavily favored for the upcoming Academy Awards, won three top awards, including Best Direction, Best Supporting Actor for Javier Bardem and the cinematography award. The only other film to win more than one award was The Bourne Ultimatum, which received the Sound and Editing honors.
