It was a good night for its co-star Peter Mullan - who plays Tom Morris Snr in the film, alongside Jack Lowden - as he was named Best Actor for his portrayal of the titular homeless character in Jake Gavin's Hector.
The Best Actress award went to Kate Dickie for her role in Tom Geens' Couple In A Hole. The animation prize was won by Cat Bruce, for No Place Like Home, while the short film prize went to Duncan Cowles and writer Ross Hogg for their study of memory and identity, Isabella - it was a particular moment of triumph for Hogg, as it is his first BAFTA win after being nominated four times in the past four years.
There were also acknowledgements of careers spent in film and television. Hair and make-up artist Christine Cant was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Craft Award for more than 35 years in the industry, including work on TV shows such as Jam & Jerusalem and, most recently, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie.
Sixteen Films, the production company formed by director Ken Loach, producer Rebecca O’Brien and writer Paul Laverty, whose most recent film is I, Daniel Blake, was also honoured for its Outstanding Contribution to Film.
