BAFTA Awards

The trophies for Sir Sam Mendes's movie included best film, best British film, best director and best cinematography.

Joker won three awards including best actor for Joaquin Phoenix, while Renee Zellweger was named best actress for her portrayal of Judy Garland.

South Korean film Parasite won two prizes - for original screenplay and film not in the English language.

There were no major upsets or surprise winners, with 1917 unarguably dominating the evening.

Virtually all the stars at the London ceremony were in black and some were accompanied by rights campaigners.

One of the few in a colourful dress was best actress winner Frances McDormand - but she told the ceremony: "I stand in full solidarity with my sisters."

The Duchess of Cambridge wore a dark green dress with a black ribbon belt.

Mark Rylance did the double following his BAFTA (and Oscars) success for Bridge of Spies, taking home the Lead Actor prize for Wolf Hall​.

Rylance described Peter Kosminsky as "a lion of a director" in his acceptance speech - and that was certainly true when the filmmaker's passionate defence of the BBC and Channel 4 sparked a standing ovation and raucous cheers in the Royal Festival Hall.
