Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore were among the winners at this year's BAFTAs taking home the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.
Redmayne was named Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, which was named Outstanding British Film. In his acceptance speech the star said it was "one of the best nights of my life."
The star also thanked the Hawking family, "I want to thank them for their trust, their generosity and their kindness. And for reminding me of the great strength that comes from having the will to live a full and passionate life."
Moore's performance in Still Alice, a film about a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's, earned her the Best Actress in a Leading Role award and she thanked the people in the Alzheimer's community "who were so generous with their time and telling me their experiences."
Richard Linklater's coming of age drama Boyhood scooped the award for Best Film, with Patricia Arquette also picking up an award for Best Supporting Actress.
Whiplash's JK Simmons took the gong for Best Supporting Actor. The film also won awards for sound and editing.
