The 79th British Academy Film Awards, aka the BAFTAs, went down Sunday night at London's Royal Festival Hall. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another was the night's biggest winner, earning Best Picture and Best Director. Fresh off his Grammys wins, Ludwig Göransson's Sinners won Best Original Music (there is no category for best song at the BAFTAs). British screen royalty Alan Cumming hosted the show, while British disco-pop royalty Jessie Ware did a rendition of Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were" — from the 1973 movie of the same name, where Babs starred opposite Robert Redford — during the In Memoriam segment. See that below.

In April Ware will release her new album Superbloom. Also at the BAFTAs, HUNTR/X made their awards show debut, performing their Grammy- and Golden Globe-winning KPop Demon Hunters hit "Golden" before they perform at the Oscars next month too.
