    Eddie Redmayne talked about how he owes his new wife a proper honeymoon "on a beach" and that is the plan - once he's finished his next film (The Danish Girl), which starts the day after tomorrow.

    Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette were among the Boyhood team who came backstage. They both really wanted to thank the fans and critics for spreading the word about Boyhood and actually going to see the movie in the first place.

    Phil Lord and Christopher Miller - who made The Lego Movie - admitted they may well try and get a Bafta made out of Lego.

    JK Simmons said since winning so many awards for Whiplash he'd had "more offers coming my way and more significant roles".

    Jo emails:

    I don't think it was very clever or particularly funny of Stephen Fry to make fun of Prof Hawking. The man is cringeworthy at the best of times and his attempts at humour fail most of the time. Intelligent apparently, funny not.

  5. In memoriam omissionspublished at 22:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    There's been quite a bit of controversy on Twitter over the segment featuring the stars we lost over the past year. It's been noted Bafta-winning actor Bob Hoskins was not given a mention.

    Tom Davis tweets, external: "Unbelievable that Bob Hoskins has had no mention in tonight's @BAFTA awards..."

    Donna M McGrory, external: "Wow #BAFTA, great choice on Boyhood for best film, but glaring oversight missing Bob Hoskins from reel of those your industry lost in 2014!"

    Ben Evans, external: "Annoyed they've not even mentioned the late greats Rik Mayall & Bob Hoskins, also Mel Smith."

    Susie Dewey, external: "#Baftas2015 forget to say au revoir to Philip Seymour Hoffman as they honour those lost in 2014. A sad omission."

    Gail, external: "Surprised Philip Seymour Hoffman wasn't honored in Memorial BAFTA bit seeing as was many times nominated & actually won one!"

    [Update: It transpires that Seymour Hoffman was featured in last year's In Memoriam section].

    This year's Baftas didn't deliver any major surprises, but they do set up an exciting battle for the Oscars in two weeks' time.

    Will Boyhood repeat its British success and go on to take best picture in Hollywood?

    For the past six years, the best film winner chosen by British Academy voters has gone on to win an Oscar. Last year it was 12 Years a Slave, and before that The Artist, The King's Speech, The Hurt Locker and Slumdog Millionaire.

    But the Baftas are international awards with a local twist, and only some 20% of the US Academy is made up of Brits.

    Birdman may have only won a single Bafta for cinematography, but this weekend it took the top prize at the Director Guild Awards in the US, which have previously proved a reliable indicator of Oscars success.

    Roll on 22 February.

    Leading actress winner Julianne Moore was happily clutching her Bafta backstage here in the winner's room.

    She likened awards season to "going to a wedding every weekend where you're the bride", and said how her son's girlfriend had specifically asked her to bring back some chocolate Baftas (yes they do exist) as you can get them at the after-party.

    JK Simmons as you'd imagine was grinning backstage after winning the Bafta for best supporting actor.

    He said it was "brilliant" and "wonderful" to have won. JK went on to say he was really "glad to see Miles [Teller] on the list of nominees here tonight" as "in my view he's not getting his due in this awards season... chalk that up to youth but he's a brilliant young actor".

    Stephen Fry closes the ceremony by saying: "It's been a supreme year in film.

    "Film is like a mirror and shows us who we are: it is sometimes witty and sometimes it is frighteningly clear. The moving image will never be anything without a story and all we need for that is belief. And no one - not even Kim Jong Un - can stop you."

    Sally Hawkins and Imelda Staunton introduced a compilation of Mike Leigh's film clips, describing him as "a true visionary".

    Receiving his Bafta Fellowship, Leigh quipped: "Well this is very nice indeed."

    "How lucky we all are to have been born in this magical age of cinema. To be able to capture life... is glorious, isn't it?"

    Referring to Mr Turner's failure to win any prizes - or indeed be nominated in some categories, he added: "I know some people expect me to be rude this evening. Well sorry folks, you are in for a disappointment.

    "Bafta is a democratic gang, your taste is your prerogative.

    "This [Fellowship] I take as a sign of your respect for an offbeat, alternative, original, idiosyncratic, personal kind of cinema. Thank you Bafta - and to everybody I have ever worked with.

    And [to those I haven't] rot in hell!"

    Emily Adams, external on The Lego Movie: "Yes! Finally the recognition it deserves!"

    Talking Voice, external: "Watched grand Budapest and Boyhood and can't understand the fuss about them - Gone Girl or Still Alice - superb."

    Nakul, external: "JK Simmons deserves that. He was superb (and scary) in Whiplash. Reminded me of my Drama School days. Oh how I don't miss that."

  17. Art imitating lifepublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    Boyhood star Ellar Coltrane was among the recipients who picked up the best film award from (as Stephen Fry called him) "OMG, it's Tom Cruise".

    Coltrane said: "The truth is, it didn't feel like a movie, more like an exercise in collaboration and vulnerability," he said.

    "To have this movie recognised alongside such grand pieces of art means life itself must be more exciting than we let on."
