THE world’s eyes were on London for the 77th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday evening.
This year’s star-studded event saw a total of 38 films up for awards hosted by David Tennant at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre.
Stars of the big screen turned out on the Bafta red carpet eagerly anticipating the results of the most coveted categories: Best Film, Leading Actor and the EE Rising Star Award.
Leading the pack with 13 nominations was Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic about atomic bomb creator J Robert Oppenheimer.
Meanwhile all eyes were on Margot Robbie‘s Leading Actress nomination for her role in the smash-hit Barbie film, following her snub from the same category at this year’s Oscars.
Here are the results as they’re announced live on stage before being aired on BBC One from 7pm tonight.
SHOWBIZ expert Amanda Devlin gives her take on the Bafta results…
It was a top night for Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic Oppenheimer.
The film scooped seven awards out of 13 nominations as it dominated the ceremony.
Nolan won Best Director for the first time in his career – and earned a standing ovation from the audience.
Leading actor winner Cillian Murphy received rapturous applause as his name was announced.
Oppenheimer’s success was closely followed by Poor Things, which took home five gongs including Emma Stone‘s win as Leading Actress.
She beat Margot Robbie to the award, meaning Barbie left empty-handed after being snubbed by Bafta.
Her co-star Ryan Gosling also missed out on Supporting Actor – and struggled to understand a Coronation Street-related joke made by host David Tennant.
Meanwhile Oompa Loompa actor Hugh Grant took a cheeky swipe at the Bafta nominees about their films being “too long” in a Willy Wonka gag.
Back to the Future legendary actor Michael J Fox had everyone up on their feet as he came on stage in a wheelchair to present Best Film.
The star – who has Parkinson’s – was cheered as he took the final steps to the podium to announce Oppenheimer’s success.
