This is the second win and fourth nomination for Coralie Fargeat. Fargeat won my directing prize and was also nominated for writing and editing The Substance (2024). These are the first wins and second nominations for Tim Bevan & Eric Fellner, they were previously nominated for producing Pride & Prejudice (2005).

With this prize The Substance wins three awards from its ten nominations. The film won for picture, director & makeup and hairstyling. It was also nominated for original screenplay, costume design, film editing, original score, production design, sound and visual effects.

When it comes to standout films from 2024 no film has stayed with me both emotionally and artistically then The Substance. I was lucky enough to first see the film when I attended a few days the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and instantly I became obsessed with the film. I have since watched the film another three times and with each viewing I became more enthralled by this captivating horror drama comedy whatever genre you want to associate the film with as it will be appropriate. I am excited for this film to continue to beloved throughout the history of cinema and am so happy for all involved and the great acclaim they have all received from this standout feature film.
