It just wasn't Barbie's night

Katie Razzall

Culture editor

It just wasn’t Barbie’s night. The film’s stars, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and its director Greta Gerwig turned out in force.

But the biggest grossing movie of last year didn’t get any love, in the end, at the Baftas. They had five nominations and came away with none.

Time after time, we heard the word “Oppenheimer” as the envelopes were opened.

As almost everyone had predicted, Christopher Nolan’s story of the father of the atomic bomb triumphed - seven awards, including best film, best director and best actor for Cillian Murphy.

If anyone had ever doubted whether the US-based director, who has a dual passport, still holds true to his British roots, his description of it being “a homecoming” answered that.

Poor Things also did well. The fantastical Frankenstein-style apparently divided critics - was it a feminist masterpiece or a misogynist male fantasy (I say the former) - but its five awards show Bafta voters took the film to their hearts.

The other big winner was The Zone of Interest. Incredible to have a film win Outstanding British Film and Film Not in English.

The film's win for best sound feels very well deserved for a movie which does so much to create the horrors of Auschwitz without ever seeing inside the concentration camp. Hats off to Johnnie Burn and his team.

For the stars - winners and losers alike - it’s now time to party before they head off to LA for the Oscars in just a couple of weeks time.

Tennant went down a treat with A-list audience

This was former Doctor Who star David Tennant's first time taking charge of the Baftas.

The Scottish actor seems to have gone down a treat with his A-list audience.

He's a beloved name, he brought humour, there were multiple outfit changes, he even had a dog with him.

There were no roastings, but he did mildly poke fun at some of the contenders, such as the Barbie lot who left empty handed.

Overall, he may have been playing it safe - but the crowd seemed to love it.

Who won big this evening?

Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Oppenheimer was the big success of the evening winning seven categories in total, including best film, best actor and best director.

Meanwhile Poor Things, starring Emma Stone who took home best actress, won five Baftas.

Historical drama The Zone of Interest won three Baftas including Outstanding British Film.

Fan favourites Barbie and Saltburn failed to win any Baftas, despite being nominated for ten awards between them.

The show is over, but the broadcast is still on

So the action has come to an end at Royal Festival Hall in London, after a night of big wins for Oppenheimer and Poor Things.

However, our coverage is still rolling. We are going to be live on BBC One until 9pm, and you can also follow along on the stream at the top of this page.

Husband and wife accept best film award

Noor Nanji

Culture reporter at Royal Festival Hall

As we've reported, the best film award was accepted by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan, the married couple behind tonight's big winner, Oppenheimer.

Thomas said she never could've imagined this, back when she was "dreaming about making films for a living".

She also gave a shout out to her husband, calling him "inspired" and "brilliant".

'Come on Barbie, let's go party'

Oppenheimer producer Emma Thomas thanks Christopher Nolan - her husband, who directed the film.

She said he was "infuriating" but "always right".

Host David Tennant winds up the night with a joke: "Now as a wise person once said, come on Barbie, let's go party."

The camera then cut to Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie's faces, as they laughed and clapped.

But Barbie walks away empty-handed from the night.

Oppenheimer!

And that makes it the evening's biggest winner, with seven awards - followed by Poor Things on five.
