BAFTA Award for Best Film
The BAFTA Award for Best Film is given annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and presented at the British Academy Film Awards. It has been given since the 1st BAFTA Awards, representing the best films of 1947, but until 1969 it was called the BAFTA Award for Best Film From Any Source. It is possible for films from any country to be nominated, although British films are also recognised in the category BAFTA Award for Best British Film and (since 1983) foreign-language films in BAFTA Award for Best Film Not  in the English Language. As such, there have been multiple occasions of a film being nominated in two of these categories. There has been one tie for the Best Film Award when, in 1962, "Ballad of a Soldier" tied with "The Hustler" for Best Film From Any Source. Throughout the history of the category, the award has been given to the director(s), the producer(s) or both. In the following lists, the titles and names in bold with a dark grey background are the winners and recipients respectively; those not in bold are the nominees. The years given are those in  which the films under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which always takes place the following year. Winners and nominees. 1940s.
