Last night saw sixty-fifth annual British Academy Film awards, the BAFTA’s, held in London.
The awards, shown in February as a warm up to the Oscars, saw stars from stage and screen come together for a spectacular evening of glitz and glamour.
The Artist topped the ‘most won’ list, taking home six awards, including best film and best director. The Silent movie blockbuster also scooped best actor for its star Jean Dujardin, who beat British favourite Gary Oldman.
Best Actress was awarded to Meryl Streep for her mesmerizing portrayal of former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher in the award-winning Iron Lady, her second award for leading lady from the academy, her first being for her role in The French Lieutenant’s Woman, which she won over thirty years ago.
John Hurt received a special tribute being awarded the Outstanding Contribution to British cinema award, and there were, surprisingly, no awards won by Scottish director Lynne Ramsay, who was nominated for best Director for We Need to Talk About Kevin, but beaten in the category by runaway winners of the night, The Artist
