Results BBC News: The Baftas

Hello, welcome back. We are now inside the Royal Opera house in

London's Covent Garden. The 2016 British Academy film awards are just

coming to an end. Quite a mixed bag of results. Let's go through

everything we know at the end of another star-studded night. Very

good attendance on the red carpet a couple of hours ago. Jason Solomons

has been watching the ceremony. Always fun to compare what you

thought a few hours ago with what has been happening. No obvious

winner, a couple of big wins for the Revenant. It seems to be pulling

ahead. Leonardo DiCaprio winning Best actor for his role. Also

winning Best Director. That has pulled ahead. Four awards. Mad Max

also with four awards in the technical character is --

categories. They are the films were the most awards. Great win for

Leonardo DiCaprio, we felt it was his time. Probably means it is his

Oscar time. After four five attempts, he may scoop the big one.

We will find that many Oscars only a couple of weeks away. If we think

about Best actress, that has been interesting. Cate Blanchett Mohammed

Fatau editor certainly gave her the award for best outfit of the night.

No doubt about that. She did not pick up the win. The big surprise of

the night, Best actress. Very hard to call. Cate Blanchett winning on

the red carpet, up against Matty Smith. The person who won middle,

Brie Larson, for her role in the film Room. It is an Irish film. Her

performance was superb. Fiercely protective mother, protecting her

child from the outside world. Bringing him up on her own. I love

the film, very pleased for bringing this new, in. To beat Matty Smith

and Cate Blanchett, a big shock. She was not here, she did not fancy her

chances, I think. She's filming King Kong in Australia. She was nominated

in the Rising Star award. That went to a young man with a great future

ahead of him. Very popular and confident on the red carpet. He was

confident, the coolest man in the house, John Boyega, the young star

of Star Wars. That is voted for by the public. Just showing his

popularity. He gave the best acceptance speech, cool, gracious,

dignified. He thanked all the people who brought him up, his agent, with

him since 16. He looked great in attacks either, in thing at the

diversity issue. -- tinting. Great to see BAFTA nominating this young

talented black man. Everybody relieved and delighted for him. Such

a charming man, terrific actor. Interesting you mentioned the

diversity issue. So much criticism at the Oscars nominations.

Unbelievable lack of diversity. It has been a debate in the run-up to

the BAFTAs. You were able to watch the ceremony more closely than me.

Rebel Wilson making some choice comments. The Australian comedic

actress, said she had never been invited to the Oscars, because they

are racist. She made a joke about Idris Elba, up for an award. A lot

of people thought he would get that best supporting actor. In the end it

went to Mark Rylance, for his performance in Bridge Of Spies, the

Steven Spielberg film. Much beloved character actor is superb and the

role. Fede thing we can say that is anti-diversity. A terrific role, he

nailed it. Very pleased Mark Rylance won that. I predicted it, a superb

supporting role. He brings different colour to that movie working

alongside Tom Hanks as an accused Russian spy. Steven Spielberg was

here tonight. We saw him on the red carpet. Mark Rylance, also nominated

for the Oscars. That will be interesting. He is someone getting

such a reputation in the UK, but his initial reputation is very much as

eight superb theatre actor. He's had a blossoming with Wolf Hall, will

that play into the academy's decision? He is liked? I think so.

That was a terrific successful BBC America. Great success on the stage

in New York. That is where he is now. Could not accept the award. I

think he will make Los Angeles for the Oscars. Relative newcomer for

the big screen. That works in his favour. We are not really knowing

him, he's fresh. The trick of Bridge Of Spies, less is more, the less we

see of him, the more you wish this character was more knowable. It is

the BAFTAs, the British Academy Awards. They have two categories,

best film, waiting to hear what has been chosen, but they have Best

British film. Really striking year. Some cracking entries. Almost to the

point, looking at the a few weeks ago, we thought some of those should

be up for best film. We will go with Best British film before we bring

you best film. Best British film, delighted to say that went to

Brooklyn, wonderful tale, beautifully told by John Crowley, a

young Irish girl leaving 1950s rural Ireland to set up a new life in

1950s New York in Brooklyn. At a border house run by Julie Walters.

Charming slow burner, big choice at the end. It has captured hearts.

Best picture nomination at the Oscars. Deservedly winning Best

British film. Beautifully written by Nick Hornby. Well pleased for that

one. It stood head and shoulders with the big hitters. Best film.

Maybe could not cope with the best film, may I reveal it? It is a clue.

Everyone is filtering out. As we thought. It is The Revenant. Finally

it has won. Best picture at the BAFTAs. That means the director

winning Best Director, that is the big one to beat. The success of the

Oscars season. Leonardo DiCaprio left for dead, after being famously

mauled by a bear in the woods. Coming back to wreak revenge on

those who left him behind. A tale of injuries with Leonardo DiCaprio

crawling through deep valleys, snow, eating raw fish, liver, growing a

long beard. Sheltering in a horse-macro. Extraordinary long

movie. -- sheltering in a horse. As spectacular as the Canadian scenery

is, it is enduring. It is extraordinary. The director winning

four Birdman last year, extraordinary run of form for him.

Most people will flock to the film because of Leonardo DiCaprio

committee carries the movie, we are with him every step of the way.

Every crawl of the way. It is a real match a film. If you like survival

programmes, you will like the Reverend. What you make of so much

talk of what phenomenally hard work physically it was, to make this

film? Filming in very cold temperatures. The wonderful

cinematography coming at a price, the cinematographer only wanted to

use natural light, they could only film for several hours a day. They

like to say this is the hard work, stressing that, focusing on the art.

Film crews have warmers for their feet, nice trailers, cups of tea.

I'm surely not -- Sean Leo have a warm glass of brandy at the end of

the night. The most important thing is the picture at the end. Epic tale

of so bridal -- survival, everyone was impressed. It is not a banner

year, because the spread of the awards. Mad Max, the film I don't

understand, they go for a drive, turn back again. It's got a lot of

awards, Best costume, I could wear a T-shirt, winning that award. Carole

the film missing out. Wonderful film, I feel bad about it. It was

very spectacular. Talking at the start of the programme the numbers,

Carole coming in with nine nominations, I think it has not come

away with anything. The cupboard is bare. A real shame. One of those

movies, very cocooned in its own beauty. When they push to vote at

the end of the night, does not quite take flight. It smoulders. A slow

burning cigarette. Without catching fire. That is the problem Carole

had, could not swayed voters to for it, even though it is a swoon of a

film. Best of dementia read. Something I loved, even though I

found it sad to watch. Amy, the director is a wonderful man, works

in a journalistic fashion. Made the film that Ayrton Senna. I was the

last person who thought I would be interested in that, but it was

absolutely gripping. He worked the same here. I'm absolutely delighted

for him. Amy is a London film about a London icon who came to a tragic

end. The story of Amy Winehouse. We are witnessing a tragedy before our

very eyes. He has changed the way documentaries are seen. Not only a

successful documentary, in the cinema is, second most successful

documentary of all time. Changing the way we are perceiving

documentaries. Cinematic events using real-life footage to play a

character. Amy Winehouse plays herself, Ayrton Senna plays herself.

He's beginning work on a new icon, Diego Maradona. Could be here in a

few years' time talking about that one. I'm sure it will be brilliant.

I may enjoy that, and I am not a football fan. That is how clever he

is. A couple of things we have not mentioned. Spotlight, the film about

the Boston Globe, the fantastic undercover reporting that eventually

won a Pulitzer prize, and a covering abuse in the Catholic Church. It did

take home the prize for best original screenplay. A film about

writing, building your case, journalism winning the writing prize

tonight. Please for the film. Tom McCarthy, the director, wrote the

screenplay. He talked very movingly tonight about how he told the story.

Not a story everyone wanted told. They had to fight to get it told.

The story about the investigative team at the Boston Globe, back in

2000. So old-fashioned, people waiting for the phone, typing away.

As journalists, we have a soft spot for it. In America, do not

discounted. Liberal Hollywood credentials, the great ensemble

cast, we will see that making a few steps towards glory on Oscars night.

The only one to beat is The Revenant do. I know the British Academy would

say, we are our own people, these are our awards, what Britain has

chosen, but it is hard not to just think about the Oscars, only a

couple of weeks away. As a closing thought, because I think you are

missing a party, that is the one to watch overall? It is now. The big

story, Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning the Best actor award.

Anything that is the story, Leonardo DiCaprio blossoming as a movie star.

We have seen in grown-up on-screen, the Basketball Diaries, Romeo and

Juliet, Titanic. He is a man now, winning an Oscar, winning a BAFTA.

He is the star of the night. Thanks for talking us through the night.

Jason Solomons. All the results can be found on our website. That is

all, the party just beginning at the Royal Opera house in London's Covent

Garden. Goodbye.
