Awards Roundup: Sonia Friedman Wins Producer of the Year and More!

Roger Pratt, who was the director of photography on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was presented with a BAFTA Special Award for outstanding contribution to cinematography.

Sonia Friedman, the producer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, received the Producer of the Year award for the fourth time in five years at the Stage Awards. Friedman focused on holding on to hope in the face of the uncertain future.

We are going through tough times, this industry. I hope we can all hold together, particularly in the West End. It feels as though we heading into unknown territory with Brexit. But I believe great art will always thrive and audiences will always follow it.

 

Don't worry, Alfonso Cuarón is still winning for Roma. He recently won Best Feature Film Director at the Directors Guild of America Awards, which might be hinting at a future Oscar win for him.
