Earlier this evening, returning host for the night Stephen Fry announced the award winners for this year’s 2014 Baftas during a star-studded ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall. Now taking place just two weeks before the annual Academy Awards in order to draw in the biggest names in cinema for a pre-Oscars night of glamour, this was very much a dress rehearsal for Sunday 2 March’s main event. As predicted by many industry commentators, its was Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (Best Film, Best Director, Best British Film) which dominated the field, with David O. Russell’s American Hustle (Best Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay) just about keeping in touch of the technically spectacular ‘British’ space drama.A full list of all of the 2014 Bafta winners can be found below:
