Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit has won a Bafta for best adapted screenplay, with the New Zealand director thanking his mother and making a jab at Britain’s colonial history.
Jojo Rabbit has already won a slew of awards this season, and is nominated for six Oscars, including best picture and best adapted screenplay.
Jojo Rabbit is based on Christine Leunens’s book Caging Skies, and was adapted by Waititi himself, who also directed and starred in the film.
In his acceptance speech Waititi said it was “very cool” to receive the award, “coming from the colonies”.
