It was another triumph for Mo'Nique, who claimed Best Supporting Actress for her role in Precious, while Christoph Waltz took home the Best Supporting Actor gong for his role on Inglourious Basterds.

And as far as films were concerned, gritty war drama The Hurt Locker swept the board, earning a whopping six awards in total, including Best Director for Katherine Bigelow.

Twilight star Kristen Stewart collected the Orange Rising Star award, beating off stiff competition from the likes of Carey Mulligan, Nicholas Hoult and Tahar Rahim to clinch her gong.

The young star paid tribute to her loyal fans in her acceptance speech, saying: 'Firstly I have to thank the fans of Twilight for proving to be the most devoted and attentive fans ever,' before going on to thank her friends and family.
