The Ceremony The British Academy Film Awards

This programme contains scenes of repetitive flashing images.

I am a huge fan of British cinema. The excitement, the glamour. The

anticipation. It is my first time, so I am excited. It is fantastic. It

is a great night. It is a real honour to be here. It is especially

nice to come back and present after winning last year. It is a really

nice thing to do. I live in London. I was in south-west London just this

morning buying some bread. Now I have just put on a tuxedo and it is

a different world! It feels great to behind in London, and at the Baftas,

which is the pinnacle part of this awards season. I'm just turn a try

and relax and enjoy it and hopefully someone will give me a glass of

champagne so I will feel a bit more relaxed. But it is just amazing to

be here. It feels wonderful. I always get excited about this

particular street, and the Royal Opera House. It is very British. It

is wonderful to be here. It is amazing to be here at the Baftas. A

little bit cold, but really good. I was invited before but was unable to

come. To actually be here in this surreal. But who will be taking home

a love it Bafta mask? We are about to find out. It is time for the EE

British Academy Film Awards. Let the Baftas begin. Please welcome our

host for this evening, Stephen Fry. Well, good evening and welcome

to the EE British Academy Film Look at you, how shiny and lovely

you are, how gorgeous with glamour, effulgent with style

and radiant with beauty. I don't mean that -

I just want you to like me. Now, this year, the stars have

colluded and collided in such a way as to make British film's annual

outpouring of love coincide Especially fitting as love

abounds this year in film. The love

between two women, love between a young Irish girl

and an Italian American, Love between the Roman Catholic

priests and... And lawyers. in Matt Damon's case,

love between man and potato. First, let's meet some of the

superstars out here, sending out very detectable gravitational

ripples. Wow, it's almost impossible for me

to look out without meeting the gaze Right before me, I see some

of the cast of that stunning epic The Revenant - Domhnall Gleeson,

Will Poulter and Leonardo DiCaprio. I congratulate all three

of you on making it through the hostile, wet,

windy terrain, all the way up to the end of the red carpet

and into the Opera House. When my agent told me I had been

booked to do a bare scene with Leonardo DiCaprio,

I did a cartwheel. It didn't turn out quite how I had

imagined a bare scene. But I did my best to be fierce

and frightening in a very hot Of course we must talk about Star

Wars. Yes, the Force finally

woke up - the lazy tit. But what a cracking film -

notable not least for introducing us to some fabulous new British talent

in the shape of Daisy Ridley Of course, things are well underway

for the next film in the series, which I happen to know has some

very interesting casting. In fact I don't believe John's

been told about it yet, but now

is as good a time as any... The director of Bridge Of Spies is

here, Stephen Spielberg. I absolutely loved this film and its

wonderful depiction of a time when we were teetering on the brink of

nuclear war. Of course all of that is over now. Nowadays we are more

likely to sit down with our Russian friends and enjoy a nice warm cup of

polonium. The stars of the sublime

Carol are here. In this remarkable film,

Cate plays a refined upper class lady who goes in to a department

store to get a train set and ends up Of course that's unlikely to happen

today, as most people do that sort That's certainly where I've got hold

of all my shop assistants. And it's wonderful to see

Bryan Cranston here. I believe you're already planning

a modern-day sequel, once more set in a dark time

when bigotry stalks the land and progressive thought

is banned from America... And talking of America,

one of the wonderful things that great nation has given the world,

along with giant foam fingers, leaf blowers, Creationism and syrup

on bacon, It is common at basketball games

and so on. So, if you look to the screen now,

you should see a heart. But on this day of Valentine's,

which two lovebirds will it embrace? Oh, yes! Stanley Tucci and Cuba

Gooding Jnr! That is more like it! Who next?! It is Maggie Smith and

Leonardo DiCaprio! Yes! That is a marriage made in heaven if ever

there were one! Julianne Moore and Bryan Cranston!

One more... Oh, it is Eddie Izzard and Rebel Wilson!

Leo tried to kiss Maggie. She soon gave him the rough edge of

Spotlight - the brilliant Mark Ruffalo.

Yes, tricky subject matter, not easy to find humour in,

Though actually, confess is probably not the most tactful word to use

I am confused - after Black Mass and now Spotlight,

Only one man here can help us - actually sound like?

Only one man here can help us - Bostonian Matt Damon! He is the star

of the fantastic science-fiction award-winning comedy The Martian!

Ultimately it's a tale of courage and intelligence in which,

by resorting to a lot of shouting and shooting, but by resorting

Sometimes in this job there are moments of real pleasure.

And being able to say four words that will cause an outburst

Dame Maggie, star of Lady In A Van, of course.

If she was any more of a national institution, she would have

The film tells the story of a woman who parked up and lived

Apparently she even went to the toilet in her van -

though I can't verify that because, as we now know, Volkswagen are well

And now for some reason, it seems appropriate to move

The star of this captivating page-turner of a film,

He was magnificent as the computing genius behind Apple,

and looking so foxy this evening, I just want to click

on him, drag him on stage and then, a short while later,

Well, that's quite enough drooling at the stars in our audience.

Now let's drool at them on screen doing what they do best as we look

She shall go to the ball. We're about to get dumped.

Starting to see pictures, aren't you?

# Though nothing, nothing will keep us

# And you, you will be queen

# Though nothing will drive them away

No, no, no, no, stay happy.

Not least the musical accompaniment from the creative powerhouse

that was the magical and deeply-missed David Bowie.

Film benefited from his unique genius as an actor, producer

The world is a far more monochrome place without his

So, we are now ready to take our first, tentative steps

towards the opening award for Outstanding British Film,

And to present it, call me a silly old yenta, but I've done a bit

of matchmaking, and brought together two huge film stars

Please welcome, Kate Winslet and Idris Elba!

I don't have my glasses. I'm so old now anyone.

I can't tell you how delighted we are to be here on such

a wonderful and important night for British cinema.

And as proud Brits, presenting this particular award means even more,

because I think it's fair to say that British film has had a very,

Let's take a look at the truly stunning nominees.

You may have known who I was, but I wasn't always me.

There was a moment when I was just Lily,

How big do you think you are going to be?

At all, because you know, my music is not on that scale

of the the music is not on that scale.

Sometimes I wish it was but I don't think I'm going to be at all famous.

Remember if people like it here, they'll come back.

So you treat every customer as if she's a new friend.

Do you try to wear panties every day?

I mean, I don't try, I just put them on.

It is like me discovering with what the smell

Like she's been standing in the corner of the room all this

I'm not going to be turned into some animal.

I'll come and visit you, though, with my partner.

When we are walking together in some park or when we are swimming

in the sea or when we are on one of our trips.

You are going to be the human component in the Turing test.

That's right, Caleb, you got it, because if that test is passed,

you are dead centre in the greatest scientific event

If you have created a conscious machine,

Thank you Bafta. First I have to thank - we have to thank Colm who

entrusted us with his novel, brought to life with Nick's masterful script

and John's impeccable direction. APPLAUSE

On behalf of the entire cast and crew, here in London, in Dublin, in

Eniscorthy, in mob treal and New York, thank you so much for

honouring our film in this way, behalf ta. -- Montreal.

One of the things this film is about is the kindness of strangers. As the

film has made its way out into the world, the warmth of the response

has been overwhelming. Whatever tiny bit of this I can play claim to, I

would like to share with Fiona Weir, who not only furnished us with a

marvellous cast, but she's got to put up with me every day, so happy

Valentine's day. Thank you so much. APPLAUSE

Now on to the award for special effects.

Please welcome Amelia clerk and Matt Smith. Good evening, marvellous to

be here, there is a reason why this award is for special visual effect.

It takes special and talented people to create something as good as these

effects. Let's lack at their work. The Bafta goes to - Star Wars: The

Force Awakens. APPLAUSE

Thank you so much Bafta. It is fantastic. We had an incredible, a

massive crew working on the movie. We are four guys, we are lucky to be

up here accepting the award. It really is an amazing experience. Of

course we have so many people to thank, Stephen? Yes. But, of course

we have to thank our director J j. JAbrhams who did an amazing job with

this movie. Incredible and our producers, Kathy Ken Dane Brian

Burke. The incredible crews, industrial, light and magic. I want

it give a shout out to Ben Morris and Mike Mulholland and those guys

in the London office. Thank you to my amazing crew, and thank you to

Kathy, Tommy and Brian and a personal thank you to JJ. And to

Amanda, my soul mate and you the Academy. And respect with all the

other nominees. Well done. Thank you, thank you very much.

Now it is time for the EE rising star award. The only award voted for

by the public. It'll be presented right now. Doing the presenting last

year's winner, who has worked with George Clooney and Judi Dench. I

would say his star has risen to perfection. Please welcome Jack

O'Connell. Thank you t gives us the chance to

celebrate performances of the past year and then so. Also special

because it is blue in colour which makes it rare. Or rarer. And so,

shall we see some of their work? Punch the sneaky brat in the face

in front of other people. I really don't think that's

the right thing to be Does this give

you pleasure? I feel so awkward and ugly

and naive and lonely. I don't want to go to

school ever again. Strange smoke that everyone

was just wild for. You don't want to be with that guy,

best sex you've ever had guy We nearly missed it

but we've got our chance. You are going to help me track

Cole's neck. There are too many things out

there out to get me, get me? Hell know, I'll go in and try

and find Ray, the Troopers will be The EE Rising Star winner is John

Boyega. Thank you so

foremost I want to thank God for this moment and a big thank you to

Bafta for this amazing opportunity and obviously to the members of

Bafta for this amazing opportunity Guys, I haven't been doing this for

a long time. It's a fluke. Guys, I haven't been doing this for

have some very, very special people in my life, who have been such a

blessing, my parents, family and friends, my agent, my manager, best

friend and brother and Femi, who has backed me since I was 16. Thank you

for everything. I'm going to share this award with all the young

dreamers who are determined, who are hard-working and who are, quite

frankly, amazing. This is also for you. Blessings to your path and God

bless, thank you. To present the award

for Supporting Actor, an award traditionally given

to a man, we have a lady She was perfect in Pitch Perfect,

she was too perfect in Pitch Perfect 2, and I have no doubt she'll be

three perfect in whatever they call She's not only a rebel by name,

she's also a Wilson by name. Soon to be seen in How To Be Single,

please welcome Rebel Wilson! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

It is so good to be here at this really serious event. I have never

been invited to the Oscars... Because as you know, they are

racist. But the Baftas have diverse members. And that is what we all

want to see in life, isn't it? Diverse members.

One day I hope to return here to win a Bafta myself. I have already been

practising my transgender phase. And now, to the award of Best Supporting

Actor. Sorry! Idris Elba, you are making me a bit nervous. I am just

sociologically programmed to want chocolate on Valentine's Day. Five

really attractive men have been nominated. And I really look forward

to any congratulating the winner. Although, I am looking forward even

more to consoling the four losers. Let's take a look at these actors'

incredible work. Are you being sarcastic

with us, Mike? Lawrence, I don't know

how to be sarcastic. I mean it, move away

from him right now. Don't ever point

a weapon at me again. A pencil, piece of paper,

cigarettes, please. Mr Donovan, you have men like me

doing the same for your country. If they were caught,

I'm sure that you We have been defending ourselves

against the killings and rapings of our own people

from the PLF and now But it has awakened

a sleeping beast. It has put the weapons of this war

back in the hands of the young. They knew and they let

it happen to kids. We have to show people

that nobody can get away with this, not a priest,

a cardinal or a friggin Pope. And the Bafta goes to... Mark

Rylance for a Bridget Spies. Mark is currently performing on Broadway.

So, to accept the award, Stephen Spielberg! -- for Bridget Spies.

Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day. Mark, in the event that this

actually happened, asked me if I would stand in for him and read a

note. My sincere thanks to the British Academy for celebrating my

acting with this award. My apologies as my theatre work in New York City

means that I cannot be with you. I am particularly pleased to be

celebrated as a supporting actor as I very much enjoyed the wonderful

quality of work which supporting actors do in films these days -

especially all my Fellow nominees. Lead actors are of course unique and

gifted and often, as in the case of Tom Hanks, generous, humble and

supportive as well. I had an unfair advantage this evening working with

Tom and my dear friend Steven Spielberg who has graciously

supported me this evening, as he has done since we met. Thank you to all.

Now, I've been given the plum job of voicing the introduction

To make the presentation, a supreme comedian, actor

and writer, a genuinely unique talent - and I don't mean that

in the showbiz, non-unique way, I mean it in the "there really is no

Please go ballistic for Eddie Izzard!

Now, Animated Film is a powerful medium. But the pitch meetings can

be somewhat unusual. So, there is a pig and he plays the banjo. But the

monkeys do not want him to do that so they nail the pig to the back of

a spaceship and he is off to another galaxy. But the pig discovers that

he can control the spaceship and he plays different chords on the banjo.

It is like The Godfather meets Zulu. I love it! Here is $20 million! I

believe that is how it works! And the nominations are...

And the Bafta is awarded to... Inside Out!

Thank you Bafta. It is amazing being here. I was fully expecting to see a

charming, domesticated farm animal appearing! I am honoured to be in

this company. Our film takes place inside the mind of a in your old

girl. That was hard to figure out. Though not as not as tough as

actually being 11. For anyone out there who is struggling to figure

things out in secondary school, it is OK to feel scared or angry or

sad. But please do us a favour and express yourself. Seeing, draw,

write - the world will be a better place for it. I want to thank our

amazing team. We make a pretty good team. Everyone at Pixar and Disney

for supporting us on this weird and wonderful journey. Lastly, I want to

thank my wife Amanda, who kept the family together even as the film was

falling apart. Thank you. We now scooch along

to Supporting Actress. To present it, one of the finest

British talents of recent times, an actor who has played a man

trapped in his own body, and, if I had my way, a man trapped

in my basement. Please

welcome Eddie Redmayne. Do you think I might be

switched off because I don't I don't know the answer

to your question. I love that you don't care

how much money a person makes, you care what they make,

but what you make isn't supposed When you're a father,

that's what's supposed to be the best part of you and it's

caused me two decades of agony, Steve, that it is

for you, the worst. She's going to get

tired of you and you are going to wish

that you've never... I have never been more

awake in my life. Though why should I want to be

with you when all you do is argue It's a letter from Lincoln,

a letter from Lincoln, to him. They was penpals and this

is just one of the letters. And the Bafta goes to... Kate

Winslet for Steve Jobs. Oh, my gosh! What an incredible year

to be nominated. What an incredible year to be in this room. Thank you,

Bafta, so much for voting for me, for nominating me. It has been an

extraordinary year for women and I feel so proud to stand alongside all

four of you. Your performances are also extraordinary. I really am

quite overwhelmed, actually. I must thank Donna Langley and your team at

universal for supporting Danny Boyle and his unconventional shooting and

rehearsals structure, which was so precious to all of us. Danny Boyle,

you were amazing to work with. Thank you forecasting me when you really

did not have to. This film was so much about the words the actors were

saying. Aaron Sorkin, I don't know how you do it. You're out of your

mind! Thank you so much. Michael Fassbender, you lead us through

this. I don't know how you did it. I would watch you every day and be

completely blown away. You are an extraordinary actor. Thank you for

everything you gave to this film. Our brilliant cast. I want to just

mention if I may a woman who would prefer to remain completely

anonymous, which is the real Joanna Hoffman, who was a devoted and loyal

friend to Steve Jobs and was so wonderful in sharing her stories

with me. Dallas Smith, thank you for making sure that I have always got a

job. And my husband, you're in this room, I know you are! Hi, babe,

happy Valentine's Day! And my children, who are probably more

excited than I am! Thank you, everybody!

To present Costume Design, by design and in costume,

You'll know her from Quantum Of Solace and him from Nightcrawler.

They're perfect to present this award because they are hugely

gifted, well turned out and, crucially here, it's Olga Kurylenko

Film is all about taking someone's vision and making it come to life

The greater the vision, the greater the expertise,

dedication and creativity needed to realize it.

Which are precisely the qualities tonight's nominees

for Costume Design have in abundance.

They have not just brought someone's vision to life,

they brought it to life with startling colour,

deep brilliance and exquisite attention to detail.

And the Bafta goes to... Jenny Beavan, Massed Max. -- Mad Max.

Oh what a lovely day. I live, I die, I live again. I just have to tell

you one thing, that I think I've worked with some of the most amazing

directors in film and George, thank you so much for taking me on. The

bonnets and corsets, girl. I can't thank you enough for giving me this

chance. It's absolutely brilliant. Thank you Bafta and thank you my

team and it's great. Thank you. APPLAUSE

Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to an

award ceremony dressed as a bag lady.

Our next award is for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer,

Director or Producer, given in honour of Carl Foreman.

It's just one example of how Bafta champions the next

masterclasses and scholarships, ensuring they have the best chance

to succeed, regardless of who they know or where

how it happened. All of tonight's nominees have not

I am sure they will all go When scripting Ex Machina,

established novelist and screen writer Alex Garland tapped

into a topic that's always relationship between

man and machine. Producer and editor Rupert Lloyd

overcame the obstacles of shooting in a remote desert location

and director, Naji Abu Nowar's keen interest in Bedouin law

that inspired this beautifully-shot story of one boy's treacherous

journey across the Arabian Desert. Stephen Fingleton began his film

career writing and directing short For his first feature film,

Stephen has written a dark and thrilling story

Abu Nowar and Rupert Lloyd for Theeb.

Thank you very much. I have been working with Rupert since we were

five years old in kindergarten, so this is a long journey for us. There

are so many people we have to thank that made this possible and for us

to reach here today. From our parents, our families, our friends,

all our colleagues, all our mentors along the way. We hope we've

justified your support and injure generosity. Thank you very much to

poof at that. -- and your. We would like to thank the community behind

the film. We are here because of them. A special thanks must go to

our friend who produced and co-wrote the film.

This goes to him and the tribe. Thanks a lot.

We've come now to the moment where we remember those friends

and colleagues that the past year has taken from us.

I'm really, truly, madly, passionately, remarkably,

No more merciful beheadings and call off Christmas.

Well done, Kasper, the most exciting thing I have ever seen in my life.

I'm not a scientist but I know all things begin and end in eternity.

He's got his father's intellect, his mother's

good looks and the devil's own charm.

It's hard to believe some of those faces won't be with us any more.

We mourn their loss and thank them for what they have given us.

Adapted Screenplay is our next category and to present it a hugely

respected actress, star of Olympus Has Fallen

and its sequel, the upcoming London Has Fallen -

It's a never ending argument that, in many ways, is superfluous

as they are such different mediums, such different experiences.

But there is no argument about the skill, creativity

and craft of the writers whose wonderful adaptations brought

Your products are better than you are, brother.

And knowing that - that's the difference.

You can be decent and gifted at the same time.

I don't know the word, when you go along with everything.

Amenable. Yeah, amenable.

You have no idea the kind of crap people are pulling.

Everyone is walking around like they're in a damn Enya video.

They're all getting screwed, you know.

They care about the ball game, or they care about what actress just

And the Bafta goes to... Adam McKay and Charles Randolph for The Big

Short! Wow! This makes me happy! Thank you

so much. Thank you, Didi, Jeremy, Brad Pitt, you are phenomenal

producers. And mostly, thank you, Adam McKay. You are a man of

bottomless creativity and fears integrity and I am just so proud to

share this with you. Also, I want to thank Paramount for taking a risk on

this movie. I want to thank my amazing editor, Hank Corwen, for

going to creative places that I have never been before. He is an amazing

guy. He already said Jeremy Kleiner. I will thank him again. Really

thoughtful, brave producer. I want to thank my beautiful wife. This

movie is not just about banking. It is about income inequality, it is

about making choices for our society which are made by all of us, not

just a select few. And we thank you all for nominating us and giving us

this award. Thank you so much, Bafta.

Since then, they have grown and are now established as world

Where would we be without the next award? If it were not for Original

Screenplay, Hollywood would just be making remakes of old movies and

sequels! To present the award

for Original Screenplay, a fabulous actor who was terrific

in The Butler and superb in Selma, and who also happens to be

the son of Cuba Gooding. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

The last time I was on this stage, young man

The last time I was on this stage, again? Oh, Cuba! Thank you. Bless

you. Here are the nominations

for Original Screenplay. Best chance is if the Supreme Court

agrees to review our case. I programmed her to be heterosexual

- just like you were programmed And to be honest, Caleb,

you're starting to annoy me now because this is your

insecurity talking. A bastard's work is never

done - huh, John Ruth? You're gonna have

to come and take... We think we have 13 priests

in Boston that fit this pattern, which would be

a very...very big story. Does that sound right to you,

er, in terms of scale? My estimate suggests 6% act out

sexually with minors. So that's how you want

to plate all that? We'll eat our dinner -

right after you eat this...! Aaaagh!

Here comes an airplane! Airplane!

We got an airplane, everybody. I have a ten-year-old daughter, so

we watched Spotlight 100 times! And the Bafta is awarded to... Tom

McCarthy and Josh Singer. Thank you very much, Bafta. I am Tom

McCarthy, the co-writer and director of Spotlight. My dear friend and

compatriot Josh Singer is at home with his pregnant wife. But I have

to pay him the utmost respect. He is just a brilliant mind and he really

drove me through this project. Josh, I share this with you. My entire

creative team and crew in Boston and Toronto, I share this most certainly

with them. And finally, real heroes, the reporters who broke this story,

and editors at the Boston Globe. And finally, the courageous survivors

who came forward to share their stories with us and with the world

and continue to do that now, to put pressure for change. A shout out to

Peter Saunders, a UK citizen and survivor and the great work he is

doing right now in this country and at the Vatican. You are an

inspiration to us all. And finally, to my wonderful Valentine Wendy

Please welcome into your hearts, but mainly onto this stage,

We are honoured to be here to present the award

Is that a joke because I'm Irish? I don't know, they wrote it. I don't

want to dedicate this award to my father, the memory

best friend, my greatest teacher. Thank you. Please, come on.

You. Thank you very much to and my granddaughter. And thank you

very much to Bafta for giving this. Thank you very much.

We now come to this year's Fellowship Award -

the highest honour that Bafta can bestow.

Receiving it, one the few actors who without the slightest hint

of hyperbole can genuinely lay claim to the title of screen legend.

Let's take a look at some of his work, spanning a truly

I don't know how much you know, so we'll start from scratch.

Don't cry, white boy. You're going to live.

Sydney potaway is -- Potier is the greatest example of what it means to

live your life with power and grace. I just love this man. How long do

you think before they pick me up? Get off my back, I'm not married to

you. What do I care. You are married to me all right. Here is the ring. I

ain't going souted on no honeymoon. He is captivating on screen. The

gravitas he has, the presence he brings to the screen, the

performances, he handles himself with elegance and dignity. You can

see this is on and off camera. All I wanted is to make a future for this

family, to stand in front of my boy, like my father was never able to do

to me and tell him he will be anybody in this world besides a

servant and a chauffeur. He came a symbol of what was possible as an

African-American in the United States. I get up when I feel like

getting up, if I don't want to work, I don't work.

Sir Sydney's importance to the industry should never be overlooked.

I know all the actors today, actors of colour, black, white, whatever,

people that are really struggling it get what they want across, we have a

voice and we have a voice because of people like Sir Sidney Poitier. What

about that speech you were going to give me this morning? Give me

another day. I'm close, I can pull that fat cat down. You are, Mr

Poitier, an unyielding xachl of how true strength of character has the

power to actually shift an industry. You ever been broke, Sir, real

broke, skint? Yes, many, many, many times? In the script, he was my

teacher and my mentor and off camera, off the set, it was the same

as well. So, Mr Poitier, I will always be indebted to you for your

lessons in grace and humanity. You know what she said - the good guys

don't hide. No more hitting. All right turn

around. Do you want to stay late tonight? Turn around. Come on, I'm

freaking. So long, suckers. I would like to say congrtlations to Sidney.

You are an inspiration to us all and a fantastic achievement that is

well-deserved. I sang it to you then, I would like to say it to you

now, all the very best, to Sir, with love. I am just so honoured to call

you a friend and I offer a deep and heart-felt congratulations on

tonight's Bafta Fellowship Award. We gave them a hell of a run for it,

didn't we? Praus

APPLAUSE --

APPLAUSE Never was a Bafta Fellowship better

deserved. Such a hugely influential and gifted actor.

Unfortunately due to ill health, Sidney couldn't be here in person

So, presenting it to him and his daughter on our

It's an honour to be here with Sir Sidney Poitier and his lovely

daughter Sidney to be able to give him this incredible award. How he

impacted on me in so many difference ways, not just an African-American

or a black man, a man who transcended race, who happened to be

a person who happened to come to America, to Hollywood and who

happens to be the most incredible actor of our time. I am completely

honoured and excited to be able to give him this award, the Fellowship

Bafta. Thank you to the British Academy of

film and television arts for honouring my father with the Bafta

Fellowship. There is little that peel don't already know about his

career so I will speak to him as a mavenlt he is a scholar, a seeker, a

mentor. -- as a man. He is a humanitarian and he is a terrible

dancer. Lest you start to think he is perfect, he is not it is really

quite something to see. While he has inspired countless actors, myself

included with his talent and grace, the role that is truest to his

nature, that comes closest to defining him, is he is a dad. I'm

happy to share him. He is too good not to share. He has shown us all,

not only how to be better actors and artists, but how to be better human

beings. I am proud to present my dad, Sir Sidney Poitier, with this

year's of about at that Fellowship. Oh my goodness me. My goodness. I am

sorry I am unable to be there with you in London for this wonderful

occasion because I hold a very special place in my heart for your

great city. I've been honoured by Her Royal Highness the Queen and

have had the privilege of being recognised by Bafta for my previous

work on a few occasions. But today, my cup run et over because I am here

with my daughter and our future film-makers of the world, in

celebration of this wonderful artform, moving pictures, that has

brought me tremendous joy. To the wonderfully talented and courageous

film-makers I have worked with through the years, I thank you for

being a part of bringing me to this moment. And to my family, my life

force, I am nothing without you. And to all of you, thank you for your

warm embrace. And this extraordinary moment and memory I shall cherish,

always. We now find ourselves

in the astonishing position Forming an orderly queue just

round the corner are the awards But having wormed its way to the top

of the pile is Director, which is awarded in

honour of David Lean. And to present it, a simply

outstanding actor who shone in Spotlight, and as Ceasar

in The Hunger Games presides over a contest where the participants

kill, maim and turn in to wild He should be perfectly

at home here tonight. Very honoured to be here tonight to

present this award. As an actor, I believe

the role of the director A great director is the creative

glue that holds it all together. They inspire you, they challenge

you and in some cases scare You have no idea what it was like on

the set of Spotlight! It was like mucking out a stall at the end of

everyday! But it's all for a very good reason,

and that is to create wonderful work such as we are celebrating tonight,

from five of the best exponents Let's see what you got. You smell

that? What is that smell? Cologne? No. Opportunity. No, money.

I have a mandate to serve you. Nobody else does. Quite frankly,

everybody else has a mandate to send you to the electric chair. You don't

seem alarmed. Would it help? You cannot imagine what he is going

through at that. He is 50 million miles away from home. He thinks he

is totally alone, he thinks we gave up on him. What does that do to a

man psychologically? What the hell is he thinking right now? I'm

definitely going to die up here. If I have to listen to any more god

awful disco music! A la hand in a read to for The

Revenant. Thank you the British Academy for

this award. It is a true honour, not just being nominated, but with such

amazing directors, it is truly an honour to receive this. This award

comes with remarkable British punctuality, because I wanted to

celebrate, to share and to dedicate to my wife Maria, with whom

tomorrow, we both together we will be yes, abating our 24th anniversary

together. -- will be celebrating. So, that is what I call heroism,

endurance and survival! And talking about survivors, Leo, your work,

your talent, your commitment everyday kept this film breathing.

And all of us thank you very much for that. Without you would not be

possible. And I would not be here without the work of all the crew

around the world, people from all around that we worked together to

make this possible in very extreme circumstances. Trying to tell this

human and tender story of a father with a mixed-race son which I felt

very, very close to, in the Times that we are living. And I would like

to give thanks to all the cast, the Native American cast, all the people

in Native American lands that allow us to shoot there. And now that I am

here in the UK, I want to salute Mr Will Poulter, who is here. To Paul

Anderson, to the incredible, in comp rubble Tom Hardy, which I love. And

my Irish friend, but I cannot pronounce, it is worse than Inarritu

to pronounce - Domhnall Gleeson! Finally, all the people from New

Regency Fox. Really thank you for trusting that we could make this

together very risky project. Thank you. I am sorry if I forgot anybody.

But I love you all. Thank you very much.

So, Alejandro Inarritu thinks Domhnall Gleeson is hard to

pronounce! Presenting the award for Actress

is a prodigious talent, whose characters are known

all over the world. Such a man, such a talent,

such a hero - Sacha Baron Cohen! Good evening. The main reason I

agreed to present at this award ceremony is because Bafta has shown

none of the discrimination and prejudice which is so shamefully on

display at the Oscars. It gives me great pride that every single year,

Bafta makes sure that at least one of the nominees for Best Actress is

a dame. Dench, Smith... And the nominations

for best to... White actress go to...

What with all this to do, I think I am about to be taken short. Can I

use your lavatory? It is on the blink. I don't mind. Where is it?!

Go and get him. I can't. I need to talk to my husband. I need to hold

get him? It is real oceans, real trees, real cats. How do they

get him? It is real oceans, real fit? They just do. They

get him? It is real oceans, real in the world. Jack, come on. You're

so smart, I know that in the world. Jack, come on. You're

take it or leave it. But if you leave it, we

take it or leave it. But if you go to court, it will

take it or leave it. But if you we are not ugly people.

I have thought about you. And I like you. And I like being with you.

And... May be I feel the same way. Brie Larson! Brie Larson is

currently filming in Australia. To accept the award on her behalf, the

direct, the fabulous Lenny Abrahamson.

Yes, Brie is looking for a little bit of something nice and light to

do. Wrestling a large gorilla in Australia! But she wanted me to

thank Bafta. She is incredibly honoured by this award. She wanted

me to thank FilmFour and the producer of Room, and also Film

Canal, and also the actor who played Jack in the movie. The fact that she

is not here allows me to say things about her which she would never say

herself. She is an extraordinary person, she is warm and furiously

intelligent and I think she is one of the best actors of her

generation. The dimension is of the room we shot much of the movie in

word pretty tiny. But I think with Brie at the centre of this story,

and with all the cast and crew, we managed to make something of real

emotional scale. Thank you, Bafta. To present the award

for Leading Actor, a super talent who this time last year was picking

up the Leading Actress award for her astonishing

performance in Still Alice. Well, since then I can report

that she is still astonishing, still super-talented and still,

would you believe, Julianne Moore! I'm so happy to have

been asked to present I'm happy because some

of the greatest actors in the world have given us so many truly

exceptional lead performances over Let's take a look at some

of their extraordinary work. Hello, I am adult and trombone. If

you're going to talk about World War II as if you personally won it,

let's be clear. On a film set, shooting blanks, wearing make-up.

And if you are going to hit me, I would like to take off my glasses. I

am not afraid to die any more. Don't send him out to slap me around

in the press. Anyone but rain man. What ever you may think, I'm always

going to protect him. Come on, Steve. That is what men do.

Never spend the night. It does not matter what I wear. When I dream,

they are Lily's dreams. I am warm because I have a decaying

radioactive isotope right behind me. Right now I have got ego problems on

my hands. I have scanned every single data file on Amanda Lewis's

personal drive. This is a officially the least this go file she owns. --

disco file. And the Bafta for leading actor goes

to... Leonardo DiCaprio! Thank you Bafta. I am absolutely

humbled and I'm absolutely honoured by this award tonight. I have to

say, as an actor I have been so influenced by so many British actors

throughout the years. I remember watching Tom Courtney in skop

loneliness of the Long Distance Runner whivens 15 all wait to Gary

Oldman in State of Grace which influenced an entire generation of

actors and the late, great Peter O'Toole and everything Daniel

Day-Lewis has done. I want to thank one British actor, my partner in

this process, Mr Tom Hardy. # APPLAUSE

Tom, I want to thank you for your fierce loyalty, not only as a

collaborator but as a friend. I could not have done this journey

without you. I want to thank the entire crew, and our writer. Sean

and Duncan my make-up artist who is spent hours a day turning me into a

living zombie. The entire crew that we got to work with, all the entire

cast. We stood shoulder-to-shoulder in this entire process. Ricky, you

had the vision of this fi. Thank you so very much for pushing me every

day. I want to thank the entire team back home, all the producers at Fox

and in particular, Arnold. You stood by this film to the bitter end. I

cannot thank you enough. And of course, Alejandro G Inarritu this

would not have been possible without your commitment, your fierce

commitment to authenticity every day. Thank you for becoming a great

friend more than anything throughout this entire process. Lastly, one

person I have to thank. I would not be standing up here if it wasn't for

this person. I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a

rough neighbourhood in East Los Angeles. This woman drove me three

hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity. It

is her birthday today. Mom, happy birthday, I love you very much.

APPLAUSE You see, cut his hair, shave him and

scrub him, he turns out rather nice, doesn't he? Congratulations.

And so we come to the final award, Best Film, and I'm somewhat

embarrassed to say that we've run out of presenters.

No worries though - during the last award,

I wandered backstage to see if anyone was hanging around,

and thankfully, curled up on the sofa in a sleeping bag,

still here from last year, I only found...

As we've seen throughout this evening, this year's filmmaking has

I'm honoured to be here to recognise and celebrate the creative talent

I'm Irish, you're German, but what makes us both American? Just one

thing... The rule book. We call it the constitution. We agree to the

rules and that's what makes us Americans. It's all that makes us

Americans. So don't tell me there's no rule book and don't nod at me

like that, you son of a bitch. No-one is paying attention because

the banks are too busy getting paid obscene fees to sell these bonds.

Wait, you are the bank, you work for the bank, I bet your margins are

fat. Let's in the talk about my margins. Being nice and fat, that's

a nice shirt. Do they make it for men?

You can come and visit me sometime. You are welcome to. Would you like

to come and visit me this Sunday? Yes. What a strange girl you are?

Why? Show meet church manipulated the

system so these guys wouldn't face charges, show me they put back in

parishes time and time again. Show it it was systemic, that it came

from the top down. Sounds like we are going after law. We are going

after the system. Wait until morning, we'll have a

day's head start and get away. No, you won't. It's afraid. You know so

far, with a they came for, the same, when they get afraid they run deep

into the woods. We have him trapped. He doesn't know it yet. How can you

be so sure? It has everything to lose.

APPLAUSE The Bafta goes to The Revenant.

OK, well, this is overwhelming. You know, so the tradition of

film-making here is amazing, my father's favourite actors were the

British actors. He was always telling me that's acting acting, not

acting, it is really acting. And, you know, tomorrow, funnily, I'm

celebrating my anniversary, I'm celebrating, too, the two years

anniversary of my father's death. I'm sure he is involved in this

award working upstairs. I promised my mum I would not be sad, I would

be celebrating his life, that life gave me 50 years of the most

beautiful man and I have to be thankful for that as I'm thankful

for this. There are so many people to give thanks that it is

overwhelming. They know that, I hope. But the one that is pop into

my mind now, is an amazing visionary and brother and incredible cinemaing

to graph. And the co--writer --

simematopgrapher. My brother, so many people to give things but I

want to shut up and please, guys, who wants to talk? A joke, a dance?

. Thank you Bafta for this incredible honour. It's a beautiful

award, too. Every day getting to be a part of the Revenant was an honour

and to be able to support one of a kind artists like this and to be

part of something that I think hopefully 20 years from now we may

all be able to look back on and be proud. Leo and Tom should be up here

accepting this award because when they were in front of the camera,

doing something brill yapted, when they weren't they were behind the

scenes helping us do a better job. Alejandro G Inarritu, nobody better,

you are amazing, your commitment and passion.

And like and happy Valentine's day, Javier Without Andres's commitment

to this movie it wouldn't have what happened. Every body at Fox and

everyone else, thank you all so much.

APPLAUSE Congratulations to all nominees and,

of course, winners. Woody Allen said - I don't want to

achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not

dying. If only that could be. Maybe it's a function of ageing. But every

time there is what is called an owe by the package, the clip showing

those in the film business who have died over the course of the year it

seems that each year death's sickle has felled a greater number than

before. Generations yet unborn will enjoy the work of those we have

lost. Film is forever. Film defies death, shakes a fist at it and with

that in mind, I'm going off now to Hayesen my own demise, by eating and

drinking like a wild raffling warthog, who knows no shame and in

table manners. I suggest that you do the same. I'll see you at the

trough. Good night from the EE Film Academy Awards. Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE. Awards presented earlier. Make-up

taking us on this journey. The Revenant. Unfortunately Emmanuel

couldn't be here. We will look after this and make sure he gets it. Thank

you very much. Amy. I look like a floating head.

You know. I've got no hair. Our aim and mission was to tell the truth

about her, to show the world what an amazing person she was. Original

music: I am sorry I cannot be there in

the score for The Hateful Eight. All right, OK. Try and calm down.

Listen, listen. I need you to stay where you are.

Thank you, I will keep this short. So many people to thank. Cate and

Vicky for being in the film. Our amazing crew who worked for nothing.

A year ago we were think being how this character was going to be, you

know, how we could empathise with this character who actually eats the

people he loves. Mad Max: Fury Road. Every day, in

the cutting room an adventure. George, thank you so much.

The Revenant. You are an amazing director but you are a better and

more amazing human being. Mad Max: Fury Road.

one of these.
