"The Revenant" dominates the BAFTA's


Best Director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, joins presenter Tom Cruise and Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio backstage at the British Film Awards (BAFTA) in London yesterday.

16 Feb – Alejandro G Inarritu's "The Revenant" was the clear winner at the 69th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) taking home five awards.

Leonardo DiCaprio who bagged the Best Actor award, paid a moving tribute to his mother and thanked his co-star, Tom Hardy for his brilliant performance.

Brie Larson won the Best Actress award for her performance in "Room".

88-year-old legend, Sidney Poitier was awarded the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award. The iconic actor was too ill to attend but still gave an acceptance speech through a video.

"Today my cup runneth over because I am here with my daughter and the future filmmakers of the world in celebration of this wonderful art form. To my family, my life force, I am nothing without you. And all of you, thank you for your warm embrace and this extraordinary moment and memory I shall cherish."

As the event coincided with Valentine's Day, BAFTA did something out of the ordinary by setting up a 'Kiss Cam' which saw couples such a Fassbender and Vikander lock lips and less likely pairs such as Maggie Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio playing along.

Below are the list of winners and nominees of the awards.
