The annual British Academy awards held in London on Sunday March 20 were a personal
The annual British Academy awards held in London on Sunday March 20 were a personal triumph for Sir Richard Attenborough. His epic film about the charismatic Indian leader Gandhi won five awards: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Role. It also won Sir Richard a fellowship of the Academy, for the classic movie was as much a result of his extraordinary belief and persistence as a cinematic success. Personally he visited the stage three times to collect Best Director, Best Film and the Fellowship awards. Actor Ben Kingsley went twice to receive his Best Newcomer and Best Actor awards and Indian actress Rohini Hattangadi went once for her Best Supporting Role. Now Gandhi is expected to consolidate its British triumph when the American Oscars are handed out. But as Sir Richard has often pointed out in the past, the British film industry is always winning prizes, but no money.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Annual British Academy Awards: Sir Richard Attenborough's Triumph with 'Gandhi'". In this print from the Memory Lane Prints collection, we are transported back to the annual British Academy Awards held in London on Sunday, March 20. It was an unforgettable night for Sir Richard Attenborough as his epic film about the charismatic Indian leader, Gandhi, took home a remarkable five awards. The prestigious accolades included Best Film, Best Actor awarded to the talented Ben Kingsley who portrayed Gandhi himself with incredible depth and authenticity. Sir Richard also claimed victory in the categories of Best Director and Best Newcomer while Indian actress Rohini Hattangadi shone bright with her well-deserved win for Best Supporting Role. As if that wasn't enough cause for celebration, this momentous occasion also marked a personal triumph for Sir Richard as he was honored with a fellowship of the Academy. This recognition highlighted not only his exceptional directorial skills but also his unwavering belief and persistence in bringing this cinematic masterpiece to life. With three visits to the stage collecting awards throughout the evening, it is evident that 'Gandhi' left an indelible mark on both audiences and critics alike. Now poised for success at the upcoming American Oscars ceremony, there is no doubt that this British triumph will continue its reign across international borders. However, amidst all these victories lies a poignant reminder from Sir Richard himself - despite winning numerous prizes year after year, financial struggles persist within Britain's film industry. Nevertheless, let us revel in this extraordinary moment captured forever by Mirrorpix during one of cinema's most memorable nights.
