69th British Academy Film Awards

Share:

The 69th British Academy Film Awards were held on 14 February 2016 at the Royal Opera House in London to honour the best British and international contributions to film in 2015.

Wilderness drama The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has dominated this year's Baftas.

It was named best film while DiCaprio won best actor and Alejandro G Inarritu best director.

The ceremony at London's Royal Opera House was hosted by Stephen Fry.

Apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road took four awards: for make-up and hair, editing, costumes and production design.

Brie Larson won the best leading actress award for her role as a kidnapped mother in Room.

Director Lenny Abrahamson, who picked up the award on her behalf, called her "one of the best actors of her generation."

Both supporting acting prizes went to British winners.

Steve Jobs star Kate Winslet was named best supporting actress, beating double nominee Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rooney Mara and fellow Brit Julie Walters.

Mark Rylance won best supporting actor for his role as British-born Soviet agent in Bridge of Spies.

The first award of the night, for outstanding British film, went to period drama Brooklyn, in which Saoirse Ronan plays a young Irish woman who emigrates to New York.

Star Wars actor John Boyega won the Rising Star Award, the only one of the awards to be voted for by the public.

Best documentary went to Amy Winehouse documentary Amy, about the singer who died in 2011.

Emmanuel Lubezki 's win for cinematography for his work on The Revenant was his fourth Bafta.

The Mexican has won for the past three years, having previously picked up statuettes for Birdman and Gravity. He'll be hoping to repeat that feat at the Oscars in two weeks' time.

Financial crash comedy The Big Short won the award for adapted screenplay.

Sir Sidney Poitier was honoured with the Bafta Fellowship for his outstanding contribution to film. He was unable to attend the ceremony in person due to health reasons.

Angels Costumes, the world's longest-established costume house, now in its 175th year, received the outstanding British contribution to cinema award.

Only The Revenant and Mad Max - with four awards - were multiple winners on Bafta night.

Bridge of Spies and Carol both lead the Bafta field with nine nominations.

In the end, Steven Spielberg's espionage thriller won just one prize - for Mark Rylance's performance - while love story Carol left empty handed.
