Which makes four...

Spotlight screenwriter Tom McCarthy - whose film tells the story of the Boston Globe's investigation into child abuse in the Catholic Church - said: "It's a very special night for me. I won my first Bafta for the Station Agent [2004] and they never gave me the plaque, so no one ever believes me - so I'm hoping this is a 2-for-1!"

On a more serious note, he paid tribute to "the real heroes - the reporters and editors who told this story - and the survivors who came forward".

During his presenting duties, Cuba Gooding Jr presented Stephen Fry with a red rose but he didn't seem keen on a repeat of last year when they had a full-on kiss for the cameras. 

Charles Randolph and Adam McKay picked up the Bafta for best adapted screenplay for The Big Short, with Randolph paying tribute to McKay as "a man of bottomless creativity and fierce integrity".

McKay thanked studio Paramount "for taking a risk on this movie".

"This movie is not just about banking, it's about income and equality,  and making choices for society that are made by all of us and not just by a select few," he said.

Well over halfway through the ceremony - but with many of the big prizes still to come - Mad Max: Fury Road has the most awards of the night, with three - for costume design, editing and make up & hair. 

The Revenant has two.

Still nothing for leading nominee Carol - or bookies' favourite Spotlight.

Jenny Beavan, winner of best costume design, thanked Mad Max director George Miller for "taking a chance on the bonnets and corsets girl".

How she felt about Stephen Fry describing her as dressed as a "bag lady" we may well find out later!

For those of you joining us late - here are some highlights from a very chilly red carpet earlier this evening.

Naji Abu Nowar (write/director) and Rupert Lloyder (producer) collected the award for their World War I set movie. 

Following Jenny Beavan's Bafta triumph for Fury Road's costume design, host Steven Fry quipped:

"Only one of cinema's great costume designers would come to an awards ceremony dressed as a bag lady!"

Jenny Beavan picked up the award for her work on Mad Max.

"Oh my gosh - what an incredible year," said Winslet, picking up her best supporting actress Bafta.

"Thank you so much. It has been an extraordinary year for women and I feel so proud to stand alongside you all," she said, paying tribute to the other nominees.

Winslet reserved special praise for Steve Jobs screenwriter Aaron Sorkin: "I don't know how you do it - you are out of your mind" she joked.

And, to her co-star Michael Fassbender: "You lead us through this. I would watch you every day and be completely blown away. You are an extraordinary actor."

Star Wars actor John Boyega was delighted to collect his Rising Star Award - voted for by the public. 

"I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke," he said on stage.

"I'm going to share this with all the young dreamers who are determined and hardworking - this is for you."

Inside Out Director Pete Docter, who also directed Monsters, Inc and Up, said "the mind of an 11-year-old girl was hard to figure out!"

Inside Out takes place inside the mind of a young girl after she moves cities and starts at a new school, and the emotional disruption it causes.

Docter had a message for all 11 year olds: "It's ok to feel scared or angry or sad, but express yourself - write or draw - the world will be a better place for it".

Bridge of Spies director Steven Spielberg picked up the best supporting actor Bafta on behalf of star Mark Rylance, who is currently performing on Broadway.

The British star wins his first Bafta film award for his performance in the Cold War thriller as Soviet spy Rudolf Abel.

The actor - widely known for stage work - won a Bafta TV award in 2005.
