Simon Bird kicks off the proceedings with his opening monologue.
He jokes about being the "obvious choice to host the awards" after shooting to fame in The Inbetweeners, which offers an "unflinching look at social realism".
"No, I am clearly a ridiculous choice to host the ceremony," he adds.
Bird also suggests he may try and emulate Ellen's Oscar selfie, with the help of Eddie Marsan and Peter Mullan. No one's getting up on stage though, so it's probably not going to happen.
