Jane Campion powered her way to the prizes with her psychologically tense western The Power Of The Dog, scooping both Best Film and Best Director at this year's BAFTAs. Kenneth Branagh's Belfast, which had also been in the running for both awards, had to settle for Outstanding British Film, while Netflix revenge western The Harder They Fall, saw its director Jeymes Samuel, win the prize for Outstanding British Debut.

The acting honours went to Will Smith, for his portrayal of Serena and Venus Williams' father in King Richard, while the Best Actress award was picked up by Joanna Scanlan for her portrayal of a widow who discovers her husband's secret shortly after his death in After Love.

Encanto was named Best Animation, while Summer Of Soul took home the documentary honours and the non-English language gong went to Drive My Car.

This year's awards returned to a physical ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall where, on the red carpet, many stars showed support for Ukraine. Benedict Cumberbatch, who lost out to Smith in the acting race, was one of several stars wore a badge in the colours of the Ukraine flag, while Boiling Point star Stephen Graham wore a green and blue bow.
