2017 BAFTA Awards: Snubs and Surprises6 of 10
Dev Patel wins Best Supporting Actor
There is no doubt Dev Patel turned in a strong performance as a man searching for his long lost family in Lion. But many expected Moonlight actor Mahershala Ali to win. Patel himself seemed surprised, saying: "Wow. That just happened," as he took to the stage. It is the second time Ali has been the favorite and missed out, after the Golden Globe went to Nocturnal Animals’ Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Could it be third time lucky for Ali at the Oscars?
