The BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film is a special prize given out every year. It celebrates the best movies made in Britain. The award is presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, often called BAFTA. This happens at the big British Academy Film Awards ceremony.
The award was first given in 1947. It honored films from that year. The award continued until 1968. For more than 20 years, there was no specific award for British films. Then, it was brought back in 1992. It used to be called the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film. Now, it's known as "Outstanding British Film." It celebrates amazing and new British movies that show great creativity.
To be considered for this award, a film must have important creative input from British people. This includes directors, writers, and up to three producers. These individuals must be British or have lived in the UK for at least ten years. If no one in these roles is British, the film can only be nominated in very special cases.
In the lists below, the films and names in bold with a gold background are the winners. Other names are the nominees. The years shown are when the films were released. The award ceremony always takes place the following year.
