In pictures: Bafta Film Awards 2013
- Published
Stars of the big screen arrived in the rain for this year's Bafta Film Awards in London. Dame Helen Mirren, who was nominated for best actress for Hitchcock, attended the ceremony at the Royal Opera House sporting pink hair.
Zero Dark Thirty star Jessica Chastain arrived during the heaviest flurry of rain and sleet, but made the most of her time on the red carpet. She was nominated for best actress alongside alongside Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard. They all lost out to France's Emmanuelle Riva, honoured for her performance in Amour.
Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence wore a coat to protect her from the elements as she arrived.
Lawrence was praised by fashion critics for her wet-look hairdo, which served her well in the midst of a washout.
Samuel L Jackson, who stars in Django Unchained, presented the award for best film to director Ben Affleck, producer George Clooney and the team behind Argo.
Ben Affleck was also named best director and can be seen here (right) alongside producers Clooney and Grant Heslov.
Affleck and Bradley Cooper were both nominated for best actor, but were beaten by Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln.
Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for lead actor for his role in The Master. The prize eventually went to Daniel Day-Lewis for his softly-spoken portrayal of US President Abraham Lincoln.
Day-Lewis paid tribute to his fellow nominees, saying "every single one of you deserve it at least every bit as I do".
Anne Hathaway was named best supporting actress for her role in Les Miserables, which picked up a total of four awards, while Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor for Django Unchained.
Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli accepted the award for outstanding British film for Skyfall.
Ang Lee's 3D epic Life of Pi was nominated for nine prizes going into the awards. It picked up two, for best cinematography and special visual effects.
Singer Paloma Faith sang her version of INXS's Never Tear Us Apart during the ceremony.
Director Sir Alan Parker, whose works include The Commitments and Bugsy Malone, was honoured with a British Academy Fellowship, the highest accolade the Academy can bestow.
