Keira Knightley missed out on a best actress Bafta for her role in Atonement, pipped to the post by Marion Cotillard who won for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
It came as no surprise that Daniel Day-Lewis took the best actor award for his performance in oil prospecting drama There Will Be Blood. The same film saw Javier Bardem take home a best supporting actor gong.
Brit actress Tilda Swinton was the surprise winner of the best supporting actress category for her part in legal thriller Michael Clayton.
German drama The Lives of Others was awarded a Bafta for best film not in the English language, having already taken the best foreign film Oscar at last year's Academy Awards.
