The Banshees of Inisherin took three major prizes for best comedy or musical film, best screenplay, as well as best comedy actor for its star, Irish actor Colin Farrell.
Steven Spielberg's autobiographical The Fabelmans was also one of the big winners, scooping best drama film.
Austin Butler held off stiff competition to be named best film drama actor, for his portrayal of singer Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's biopic.
Cate Blanchett was named best drama actress for her performance in Tár.
Other big film triumphs included Everything Everywhere All at Once, which saw acting prizes for two of its stars, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan.

This longlist is, of course, about to be whittled down.
But it's interesting to note that the film with the most mentions is Edward Berger's German World War One drama, All Quiet on the Western Front.
This anti-war film is a haunting tale about a group of young German soldiers, and is also a remake of the 1930 version, which won best film and director at that year's Oscars.
It's based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
The Banshees of Inisherin is just behind, along with Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic, plus Everything Everywhere All At Once.
This surreal, sci-fi film is sees a Chinese immigrant (Michelle Yeoh) who tries to avert disaster by connecting with different versions of herself in parallel universes.
The longlist, external, which was announced on 6 January, released results for all 24 Bafta categories.
One of the biggest categories is of course Best Film. More than 200 films were submitted for Bafta members to consider - that’s a lot of films to watch! But no doubt after hours of viewing they whittled it down to a longlist of ten movies:
During this lunchtime’s announcement - the final five will be announced.
By the way Aftersun, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Banshees of Inisherin and Living are also listed in other categories – Outstanding British Film or Film Not in the English Language – giving them more chances of taking home a prize if they make it through to the nominations stage.

Two sequels - Tom Cruise's action-packed Top Gun: Maverick and James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water - have both prompted huge numbers of people to head to enjoy them at cinemas, as people immerse themselves in the big-screen experience.
Maverick has grossed $770m (£624m) at the international box office - but it wasn't a match for the second Avatar film, which has made a whopping $1.9bn (£1.5bn).
Meanwhile The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, made $401.6 m (£325.6m).
But will Baftas voters rate these films as highly as some of the other films being talked about this year, which are not in the same league financially?
Last year's nominations favoured sci-fi epic Dune, followed by Jane Campion's arthouse film The Power of the Dog.
On the night, it was The Power of the Dog that took the main prizes, including best film and best director for Jane Campion.
Not too long to wait to find out who's on the shortlist this year...
Image source, Getty ImagesOne award category we can already tell you about is Bafta’s Rising Star award.
The five names in the frame were announced a few days ago.
They include Naomi Ackie, who plays Whitney Houston in Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and The Woman King actress Sheila Atim.
Daryl McCormack who starred in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, and two stars from Netflix’s Sex Education - Aimee Lou Wood and Emma Mackey - are also up for the prize which is voted for by you.
You can make your choice here, external.
The winner will be announced on Sunday 19 February.
Bafta has already asked its members to vote for everything from their favourite films, actors and actresses, to the people who do the music, special effects, design costumes or do hair and make-up.
Academy members make their choices during a number of processes:
Next it’s back to the academy members who’ll have their work cut out voting for an overall winner in each of the 24 categories.
The names will be placed into sealed envelopes and announced at the main ceremony next month.
Image source, Getty ImagesSo you know about the Oscars right, and the Golden Globes (which handed out its trophies last week).
They are probably the two biggest ceremonies in the US - but here in the UK the Baftas are the biggest event during the awards season.
They’re run by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, which aims to develop and honour the best films, TV shows and games of the year.
As well as selecting what it thinks is the best film, actress or actor it also recognises people for outstanding achievement in films by awarding them The Fellowship.
Previous winners include Steven Spielberg, Dame Helen Mirren and Charlie Chaplin.
