Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was the big winner at the BAFTAs.
It walked off with five, including best film, actress and original screenplay.
Daniel Kaluuya was given the Rising Star award - the only BAFTA to be voted for by the public - and he looked genuinely surprised. He was on Graham Norton on Friday night promoting Black Panther and he’s really funny! And also, if you haven’t seen Get Out – watch it! He is outstanding in it.
Allison Janney won best supporting actress for her role as LaVona Golden in I, Tonya.
Saoirse Ronan lost out for Best Actress to Frances McDormand.
McDormand references the #MeToo movement when collecting her BAFTA; she was wearing a patterned red and black outfit, and said "As Martin [McDonagh] said, I have a little trouble with compliance.
"But I want you to know I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. I also want to say that I appreciate a well-organised act of civil disobedience."
Joanna Lumley presented the awards - her first year as host of the BAFTAs. She took over from Stephen Fry, who has fronted the ceremony 12 times in total.
Some of her high points include glorious little digs such as:
"Quite how Hugh Grant managed to portray a vain and egotistical actor in Paddington 2 is beyond me, it was remarkable stuff."
"In one sense, you're all winners tonight. But in another sense, if you believe that, you'll believe anything."

And in other showbiz news:
Cheryl and Liam are apparently on the verge of a split. This is being reported across all social media over the weekend – with the Irish Sun even declaring that Liam Payne has sought legal advice with regard to his fortune and their shared son, Bear. He’s worth three times what she is but he probably won’t need to worry – when Cheryl split with Ashley Cole, the only thing she wanted was the dogs they had bought together. Apparently Liam has sought this advice, even though he wants to make it work.
Liam Gallagher is set to read the Bedtime Story on CBeebies! He’ll have to curtail the swearing – and he’s worried about turning the air blue. He says if he could manage to keep the language clean, he’d love to do it!
The IFTAs have been branded as stingy by attendees who paid a fortune for a table – to be served 7-euro-a-bottle wine. At €380 a ticket, that’s a bit mean – and it doesn’t stop there. It was a very thrifty affair. You can get 2 bottles of the Julia Florista wine for 15 euro in O’Brien’s Offlicences. Corporate guests were charged 5K for a table of 10 and each one was given a box of Malteasers with their bottle of wine. The nominees’ goodie bags was perhaps the biggest let-down – the bag included samples of Ballymaloe Relish, a Peter Marks voucher, hairspray... and a copy of Cara, Aer Lingus’ in-flight magazine. And ONLY the nominees received one of these gift bags.
