British royalty joined Hollywood's kings and queens as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended, where they were met by loud cheers at the bash which was just a short drive away from their Kensington Palace home. William presented the fellowship award to comedian Mel Brooks at the glittering ceremony.
The BAFTA Fellowship is awarded annually at the ceremony and is the highest accolade bestowed by the academy to an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, television or games.
The duke has been president of the academy since February 2010, and both he and the duchess have supported BAFTA's charitable activities by attending events in the charity's learning programme, but this is the first time they have attended the awards ceremony together.
Hot on the royal heels was Emma, who showed off her unique flare for fashion in the dress, which was a spin on a classic midi dress, however she added the wow factor through the matching trousers underneath the look.

Not only was the stunning star stealing the attention on the red carpet, she also stormed the awards show when she was feted with the coveted Leading Actress gong. While she stormed the red carpet she was undoubtedly keen to avoid a run in with her former beau Andrew Garfield, who also hit the ceremony.
Nicole, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Lion, was sure to turn heads in her sizzling gown, which made the most of all her very best bits - drawing attention to her phenomenally age-defying figure.
The 49-year-old revealed on the glitzy red carpet that her young daughters, Sunday Rose, eight, and Faith Margaret, six, did not approve of the gown she opted for.

Playful! Nicole was laughing as she played along in front of the world of film and TV
She candidly revealed to Daily Mail: 'It's too low. If they'd had their say I wouldn't have been allowed out in it because it's low cut and they would have gone: "No , mum.That's a rude dress. They like me more in dresses that make me look like a fairy or a princess.'
Amy meanwhile looked incredible as she masked her sensational figure in a sack-like green pillar gown which perfectly coordinated with her flame red locks.
The gown hung loosely off her frame after falling from a bandeau neckline with a draped back and tie detail. She boosted her diminutive height with a pair of staggering matching heels.

Snog sesh! He then walked off the stage and toward her seat as he said: ‘Ms. Streep, it's tradition here for me to garner a kiss from one of the nominees every year.’ Meryl immediately leapt from her seat before he could even directly ask for it to hug and kiss him
Uh oh! She said: ‘I’m so thrilled,’ as they shared their hug and kiss, to applause from the audience, ‘Never in the field of conflict has my left cheek been so jealous of my right,’ he said as he returned to the stage. ‘Underrated is what I'd say.’

La La Land tells the story of Mia, [Stone] an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician, struggling to make ends meet while pursuing their dreams in a city known for destroying hopes and breaking hearts.

But on Sunday, Lion initially took an early lead over its competitor as 26-year-old British actor Dev Patel scooped one of the night's biggest prizes, the Best Supporting Actor.
Lion is a film about a five-year-old Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta. He is adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later and sets out to find his long-lost family.
Just like Dev was recognised for the film, a Best Supporting Actress nod also went to his co-star Nicole Kidman. However, Viola Davis took the gong in that category for her part in Fences, saying it 'felt good' to win prizes.
BAFTA winner Viola has said she would love to reunite on screen with her Doubt co-star Meryl Streep because of the fun they have when they have had a few drinks.

Davis, who took home the supporting actress BAFTA for her role opposite Denzel Washington in Fences, has been close friends with Streep for years.
She introduced Streep ahead of her powerful speech about Donald Trump at the Golden Globes and Streep paid tribute to Davis when she unveiled her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Asked if they will work together again, Davis said: 'I hope so, it would be an awesome combination.
'When we get together we are awfully fun and funny broads, especially when we have had a couple of sippy sips, as I call them. It would be awesome.'
Responding to President Donald Trump's claim that Streep is 'over-rated', Davis said: 'Well anyone who labels Meryl Streep over-rated doesn't know anything about acting.
Happy times: Just like Dev was recognised for the film, a Best Supporting Actress nod also went to his co-star Nicole Kidman. However, Viola Davis took the gong in that category for her part in Fences, saying it 'felt good' to win prizes.

'That is the way it is, that is not just directed to Donald Trump. This is someone who is the master of her skill and she has lasted for 40 years in a difficult profession.
'On top of those things, they have to know she is the most honourable, accessible human being you could want to meet and that is a lot from someone who is always number one on the call sheet.'
Holding onto her BAFTA backstage, Davis said collecting the prize 'feels pretty good'. She said: 'It's not my style to bask in it too much. I'm good with it, I will have a drink and something to eat and then I'm good.' Asked if she will celebrate with a 'sippy sip', she said: 'Yes and some carbs!'
