Revenge comedy “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” has been named outstanding British film at the British Academy Film Awards.
The film — which has a U.S cast, but a British producer and director — took the trophy at a ceremony dominated by the movement against sexual misconduct and inequality in the entertainment industry.
Producer Graham Broadbent said the movie about a bereaved mother seeking justice is “the story of a woman taking on the establishment and status quo. It seems more timely now than we could ever have imagined.”
