As the highlight of the British film calendar, this year's Bafta ceremony was a truly star-studded affair. Taking home a whopping seven awards, silent homage The Artist was by far the evening's biggest winner, scooping gongs including best actor, director and cinematography.
At the awards held at London's Royal Opera House, bookie's favourite Meryl Streep duly collected the best actress gong for her turn in The Iron Lady (over 30 years after winning her first for The French Lieutenant's wife), while newcomer Octavia Spencer was also recognised for her brilliant performance in Deep South drama The Help.
