Stars arrive for Bafta ceremony Bafta glory for Keira's Atonement
(30 minutes later)
Celebrities have arrived at the Royal Opera House in central London for this year's Bafta film awards. Atonement has been named best film at the Baftas - though other nominees believed to be favourites missed out.
Comedian Ricky Gervais was the first to appear on the red carpet, to be greeted by hundreds of reporters, photographers and screaming fans. As expected, Daniel Day-Lewis was named best actor for his performance in oil prospecting drama There Will Be Blood.
He was followed by Daniel Day-Lewis, Sienna Miller, Daniel Radcliffe and Sir Anthony Hopkins, among many others. But Britain's Julie Christie was pipped to the best actress prize by Marion Cotillard, the French star of Edith Piaf biopic La Vie En Rose.
"It's amazing to be nominated," said Keira Knightley, up for best actress for British romantic drama Atonement. Michael Clayton star Tilda Swinton was also a surprise recipient of the best supporting actress prize.
"It will be brilliant if we win, but if we don't it doesn't matter." The best supporting actor gong went to Spain's Javier Bardem for No Country For Old Men, which also saw Joel and Ethan Coen named best director.
Jonathan Ross will host the ceremony, to be broadcast on BBC One at 2100 GMT. Semi-autobiographical
Acting nods Atonement, a World War Two romance starring Keira Knightley, began the night with 14 nominations - more than any other film.
In the end, though, it took home just one other prize for its production design.
Sir Anthony Hopkins has two Bafta film awards to his creditLa Vie En Rose, in contrast, was also recognised for its music, costume design and make-up - giving it four awards in total.
Screenplay awards went to Ronald Harwood for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and to Diablo Cody for US comedy Juno.
German drama The Lives of Others, winner of the best foreign film Oscar last year, was named best film not in the English language.
And Shane Meadows was an unexpected recipient of the best British film award, given to his semi-autobiographical skinhead tale This is England.
Jonathan Ross hosted the ceremony, currently being screened on BBC One.
