Another film that bagged a bucketload of nominations, Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece also left the glitzy ceremony with a pair of reasons to celebrate; the sumptuous looking sets were enough to earn Best Production Design honours, while Brad Pitt unsurprisingly securing the Best Supporting Actor gong. A bittersweet love letter to L.A., some were surprised it didn’t have more success on Sunday – and after watching it, you might just feel the same way!
JUDY
