- Richard Linklater's Boyhood scooped the most prestigious prizes of all: Best Film and Director

The Grand Budapest Hotel has swept the board at the EE British Academy Film Awards, taking home five prizes in total, but it was Boyhood that took the top prizes on the night - for Best Film and Director.
Richard Linklater's coming-of-age drama, shot over a 12-year period, scooped the top film prize at the movie awards ceremony, held at London's Royal Opera House on Sunday evening.
And one of its stars - Patricia Arquette - won the Supporting Actress gong too, bringing its total number of wins to a respectable three.
An impressive line-up: The winners of the EE British Academy Film Awards 2015 assembled to complete a star-studded and incredibly talented line-up on Sunday evening
Also performing incredibly well was Wes Anderson's comedy, which won Original Screenplay, Original Music, Production Design, Costume Design and Make Up & Hair.
Hotly-tipped The Theory Of Everything, meanwhile, won the Outstanding British Film prize, as well as three more awards.
The golden gong was presented by David Beckham and collected by Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne, the two stars of the film that tells the true love story of Jane Hawking and her former husband, the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking.
Eddie also won the Best Leading Actor award for the film, and during his speech he thanked not just his family, and the crew but also the Hawkings.
Big winner: The cast and crew of Boyhood were thrilled to win the Best Film and Director prize for the coming-of-age movie at the BAFTAs
Accolades aplenty: Patricia Arquette was named the Supporting Actress for her role in Boyhood, while Ralph Fiennes accepted the award for Original Screenplay for Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel from Julianne Moore
Best Picture: The Theory Of Everything took home the top film gong at the EE BAFTAs 2015 on Sunday night

'Thanks for reminding me of the great strength that comes from the will to live a passionate life,' the actor said from the stage.
Working Title’s Eric Fellner said it was 'a fantastic privilege' to win the Best British award, and Stephen Hawking smiled from the audience after the film based on his life won the top gong.
The Theory Of Everything also received the Best Adapted Screenplay award for Anthony McCarten, while The Grand Budapest Hotel was awarded the Best Original Screenplay gong for Wes Anderson. Ralph Fiennes picked up the award in lieu of his director.
The British actor hopped up on stage and read out a message from Anderson upon retrieving the gong: 'I have a letter from Wes it goes like this: if Ralph Fiennes is reading this speech it must mean I have won a BAFTA for our screenplay in absentia.
'I was already unhappy to miss this event but now I'm really angry and resentful that I am not there, and I'm furious.'
Hamming it up: After receiving the Original Screenplay gong on behalf of his director, Ralph Fiennes posed in the Winner's Room with Julianne Moore
A huge honour: Eddie Redmayne seemed overwhelmed as he accepted his prize for Leading Actor, while Ralph Fiennes read out a letter on behalf of Wes Anderson for Original Screenplay
He read on: 'I blame the Directors' Guild Of America, for requiring my presence in Los Angeles where most likely I have already failed to win a different prize. I extend my many thanks to the British Academy, of which I am a member in good standing and I look forward to very eagerly getting a hold of this award physically in my own hands as quickly as Fed-Ex can possibly deliver it to me.'
Sadly Felicity Jones didn't win for her leading role in the film, as the Best Actress award went to Julianne Moore for Still Alice, the film's only prize.
Meanwhile, Patricia Arquette gave a touching speech as she thanked everyone around her for her award - given to her by Cuba Gooding Jr - which marks her third this movie awards season for her role as a single mother in Richard Linklater's ambitious movie.
Patricia played the mother in the stunning 12 years in the making piece that followed a boy's experience from childhood to adolescence.
'Thank you so much my incredible fellow nominees it's such an honour to be nominated with you,' she said, while clutching her BAFTA on stage.
Winners: Julianne Moore posed with BAFTA Fellowship winner Mike Leigh and fellow winners Patricia Arquette and JK Simmons after the show, with Eddie Redmayne in the background

'Ethan Hawke you are an actor's actor. Thank you so much for being my fictitious ex-husband and making me a better actor,' she went on, praising her co-star, who sadly missed out on the Supporting Actor prize.
'I'd really like to thank Richard Linklater. I've been in many films, in other films that weren't acknowledged until much later. True Romance was a bomb. I have been in a work of art because of you Richard Linklater,' she went on.
'This movie has done something that no film has ever done before. You broke the rules of cinema, you broke history you trusted all of us and you made an ordinary story extraordinary. You made a story about love, and I love you and I thank you.'
Jack O'Connell won the EE British Rising Star Award this year, the only gong to be voted for by the British public. Jack was presented his special blue mask by past winner James McAvoy. 'Public vote, so I guess the people have spoken. Now it’s my turn. Good luck,' the Unbroken star said.
Helping hand: Michael Keaton (C) poses with Martin Freeman and Gugu Mbatha-Raw after collecting the award for Best Cinematography on behalf of Emmanuel Lubezki for Birdman
American success: Patricia Arquette was presented the Best Supporting Actress Award by Cuba Gooding Jr. for Boyhood. Reese Witherspoon presented J.K. Simmons the Best Supporting Actor gong for Whiplash
'I remember I was part of a TV workshop in Nottingham, and taught by a wonderful man Ian Smith,' Jack said in his winner's speech.
'And we had won a BAFTA, I don't know what for but I remember being at that age inspired. Now I find myself with one. Speaking of which are all these spare BAFTAs? Has anyone claimed them? I should have brought a bag with me,' he joked, referencing the stage's impressive backdrop.
Boyhood director Richard Linklater won the award for Best Director, and Ethan Hawke collected the golden mask from presenter Steve Carell on the night.
Hawke said of Linklater's absence: 'He was hijacked by the DGAs, and sat there losing, and is going to be frankly pissed off that he’s not here tonight.'
'[Richard says] thank you to Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater… They went for this and there was nothing more fun in the world than to watch these kids grow up.'.
J.K. was phenomenal in his role as the overly tough conductor who puts Mile Teller's drummer through his paces in the tense musical drama Whiplash.
Alexandre Desplat received his second BAFTA Award for his score for Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel in the Original Music category. He had previously won for The King's Speech.
'Merci beaucoup,' Desplat said after Holliday Grainger and Nimrat Kaur presented him the award. 'It all goes back to Wes. He’s unique, his world looks like nobody else’s. He’s not here tonight but I’m sure he’s watching TV… Well, I’m not sure, actually.'
Make-up artists Mark Coulier and Frances Hannon won the Best Make-Up and Hair award for The Grand Budapest Hotelat the ceremony, beating off stiff competition from Elizabeth Yianni-Georgiou and David White (Guardians Of The Galaxy), Peter Swords King and J. Roy Helland (Into The Woods), Christine Blundell and Lesa Warrener (Mr Turner) and Jan Sewell (The Theory Of Everything).
Bond girls Lea Seydoux and Monica Belucci presented the two make-up artists with their BAFTAs.
