The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards were seen as both films' best chance for major prizes after failing to pick up any awards at last month's Golden Globes and securing fewer Oscar nominations than expected.

Pioneering black American actor Sidney Poitier received a lifetime achievement award and Brooklyn was named best British picture.

Additionally, Inside Out won best animated film, Amy won best documentary, Star Wars won best visual effects and The Hateful Eight's Ennio Morricone won best original score.

Brie Larson scored the Best Actress honor for Room, Mark Rylance won Best Supporting Actor for Bridge of Spies and Kate Winslet went home with the statuette for Best Supporting Actress for Steve Jobs.
