  1. Lumley avoids another 'envelopegate'published at 20:47 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2018

    "Oh dear, they've left the envelope. We don't want any mix-ups later. Could somebody come and take this please?" asks Joanna Lumley as the previous winners Rungano Nyoni and Emily Morgan leave the stage.

    Two cast members of Cirque Du Soleil dance their way on to the stage in typical acrobatic fashion to remove the envelope - in the hope of avoiding any repeat of the Oscars best picture mishap last year.

    Allison Janney for I, Tonya

    "I could simply murder a glass of water right now," the actress laughs as she takes to the stage.

    The former West Wing star is going to need a bigger trophy cabinet at this rate, as she's already picked up a Golden Globe for this role and is heavily tipped for an Oscar next month.

    Quote Message

    I want to thank Bafta, and I want to clear up a little lie that I've perpetrated for the last 30 years. I did not in fact graduate from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art - I did however attend a two-week summer programme. Which is probably the reason I'm standing here right now. It's certainly the reason I fell in love with London and fell in love with the theatre.

    The Duchess is in a dark green Jenny Packham dress with a thin black ribbon belt.

    Bethan Holt, fashion news and features director at The Telegraph, told BBC News: "The Royal Family very rarely get involved in political messaging, so perhaps it's not such a surprise that she didn't join in with the rest of the women and wear black tonight."

    I Am Not A Witch - Rungano Nyoni and Emily Morgan

    "We're not prepared," director Nyoni (pictured) said on stage, and showed the perils of not preparing a list of people to thank.

    Just after thanking her husband, mum and niece, she said, charmingly flustered: "I'm now pulling things from the air. Erm, who else? Oh, and the cast and the crew, thank you."

    Yes, they may have had something to do with it.

  5. Coco director Lee Unkrich says film celebrates 'inclusion and diversity'published at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2018

    Lee Unkrich, director of Coco - winner of best animated film - said backstage: "We're really proud of this film, there's so many things going on in America not about inclusion and diversity so this film makes us feel very proud."

    The Pixar film brings to life the Land of the Dead as an animation, but also deals with death and loss for a young audience.

    Asked about the link between the best Disney Pixar films and death, Unkrich said: "All the great ones have [death], we try and make films that don't speak down to an audience.

    "We make films we want to go and see and take our families to too, but also deal with them in a respectful way appropriate for children."

    "In the past 100 years there has been taboo around death, our goal in making this film was trying to tell a story about the human condition and it had issues faced by everyone around the planet."

    Dealing with the issue of depicting the Mexican race in a positive way, he added, "We were making a film celebrating family and culture.

    "It's the notion that people who have died are still with us and that something Mexicans really know."

    "Thank you to everyone at Sony... I mean Fox Searchlight." Pause. Awkward laughs. "A little bit of nervousness here."

    I'm humbled to be among my fellow nominees, these are all amazing actors. I never dreamed I'd be standing here in London on stage celebrating this incredible movie with all you tonight.

    Quote Message

    There are no great actors, only great roles - and that's certainly the case with the Martin McDonagh script. He's annoyingly handsome to be as talented a writer and director as he is.

    Quote Message

    And I think as we engage in this long overdue discussion about women in the work place, I also stand on the shoulders of these strongest, intelligent, righteous women, who have made my life complete. Fran[ces McDormand], you're the rock of this film, you make me proud to be an actor.

  9. Best adapted screenplay WINNERpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2018

    Ivory takes to the stage for his acceptance speech:

    "A film like this depends on a lot of people, but first of all it depends on the actors. And we were wonderfully lucky to have had the actors that we had. And I was lucky to be chosen for this project.

    Speaking backstage after winning the EE Rising star award, Daniel Kaluuya says there's one person he forgot to thank - Top Boy's Ashley Walters.

    "I want to say to Ashley thanks for leading and inspiring me, he has made it all possible.

    He says he was inspired by seeing Walters on screen as it made him realise he too could be on screen.

    On funding the arts in the UK, he added, "I don't think the stuff that's being set up considers us, its indifference and we're not being thought of.

    "We have other responsibilities like taking care of our families, we need money and arts money helps us".

    He was also asked about how he stays grounded now he's been in two huge films - Get Out and Black Panther.

    Kaluuya said, "I try and take every day as it goes, be a student first and keep growing and reading.

    "Someone told me to be yourself and hope that people leave you alone and say 'you're not a star' - there's no parallel universe, I still roll around and go Carnival and festivals, I'm here."

    The biggest thanks of all to the people of Mexico. Your culture and traditions inspired me to make Coco.

    Quote Message

    We've tried to take a step forward towards a world where non-white children can grow up seeing characters in movies that look and talk and live like they do. Representation matters. Marginalised people deserve to feel like they belong.
