Eddie Redmayne received his best actor award to roars of approval from the star-packed audience.

"I was at the Baftas three years ago and I had food poisoning - I redecorated the corridor of the Royal Opera House. That was one of the worst nights of my life - this is one of the best nights of my life," he said.

He dedicated his award to three families: his own family for "their amazing faith"; his professional family, including "wonder" girl Felicity Jones, and the Hawking family.

Of the Hawkings, he said: "I want to thank them for their trust, their generosity and their kindness.

"And for reminding me of the great strength that comes from having the will to live a full and passionate life."

"The easy part was making the movie, the hard part was giving it to the world."

The most emotional moment backstage in the winner's room so far was when Patricia Arquette was talking about Tony Scott, who directed her in True Romance. She teared up saying how she forgot to thank him in her Bafta acceptance speech on stage.

"I really wanted to say I loved Tony Scott so much. He made me listen to myself as an actor." And she told how Scott would say every idea she had on True Romance was brilliant, and that taught her as a girl to "listen to yourself". She amusingly then said Scott would shoot down any idea her co-star Christian Slater had...

Ralph Fiennes collected the Bafta for original screenplay on behalf of The Grand Budapest Hotel's Wes Anderson.

Reading from a letter written by Anderson, Fiennes read: "If Ralph Fiennes is reading this... I must have won a Bafta."

He added he had been obliged to attend a different ceremony in Los Angeles for a prize that "most likely I have already failed to win!"
