La La Land scoops five BAFTA Awards

Despite being tipped to sweep the ceremony, with an incredible 14 nominations, Damien Chazelle’s homage to Hollywood of old came away with only five masks, including Best Film and Best Director.

Dev Patel was the biggest surprise win of the night, picking up the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Lion – and later admitted that his Skins character Anwar would be ‘off his face by now’ if he were at the ceremony.

It was a night where the Academy honoured many movies, with Manchester By The Sea and Lion both taking home two awards, while Arrival, I Daniel Blake, Fences, Jackie, and Hacksaw Ridge all took home one each.

Emma Stone and Casey Affleck both won Best Actress and Best Actor respectively, while Viola Davis took home Best Supporting Actress for Fences.
