This year's Baftas didn't deliver any major surprises, but they do set up an exciting battle for the Oscars in two weeks' time.
Will Boyhood repeat its British success and go on to take best picture in Hollywood?
For the past six years, the best film winner
chosen by British Academy voters has gone on to win an Oscar. Last year
it was 12 Years a Slave, and before that The Artist, The King's Speech,
The Hurt Locker and Slumdog Millionaire.
But the Baftas are international awards with a local twist, and only some 20% of the US Academy is made up of Brits.
Birdman may have only won a single Bafta for
cinematography, but this weekend it took the top prize at the Director
Guild Awards in the US, which have previously proved a reliable
indicator of Oscars success.
