WINNER! Paul Thomas Anderson, best director
Stuart Heritage
For One Battle After Another. Lots of frankly quite rude close-ups of the other nominees smiling through gritted teeth, but Anderson is gracious. He thanks Leonardo DiCaprio, and then gives a very tender tribute to his assistant director Adam Somner, who died shortly after production wrapped.
ShareWINNER! Robert Aramayo, rising star awardStuart Heritage
Aramayo is the lead of I Swear, the film about John Davidson, which is why someone heckled Paddington Bear tonight. He’s very good about contextualising Davidson, saying that people with Tourette syndrome are often defined by the reaction of others. After he leaves the stage, Cumming acknowledges Davidson’s tics for the first time, and apologises for any offence caused.

We’re still waiting for results in many of the main categories, but Jess Cartner-Morley reckons that the biggest drama of the night has already taken place – in the red carpet fashion battle.

Now it is time for the in memoriam section, accompanied by Jessie Ware singing The Way We Were. Always weird to liveblog these, but lots of people died this year, and so far the audience is being very good about not applauding them.

WINNER! Hamnet, outstanding British filmStuart Heritage
Which is perhaps to be expected, because Hamnet was the highest profile nominee. But this might have been the strongest category of the night, which is heartening. Producer Sam Mendes accepts, calling the film an act of faith and thanking Steven Spielberg for producing it with him.

Unsure what just happened, but Alan Cumming just called out Paul Mescal for being on his phone. Everyone looks embarrassed, but it will still qualify as perhaps only the sixth weirdest thing that has happened tonight.

WINNER! Sentimental Value, film not in the English languageStuart Heritage
Joachim Trier accepts the award, noting that this is the first time a Norwegian film has won a Bafta. He uses his speech to point out that the films nominated this year are different from phone adverts.

Alia Bhatt is here to present best film not in the English language, which she does not in the English language. Form and content, solid presentation, 7/10.

WINNER! Frankenstein, best costume designStuart Heritage
Sadly, Frankenstein can’t be here tonight, so here to collect the award on his behalf is the woman who made his clothes. You have no idea how long I’ve been sitting on this joke.

Hannah Waddingham is here to present best costume design, and describes tonight as “gently raucous”, which is a nice way to describe the sight of several A-listers being thrown by the sound of loud Tourette tics.

WINNER! Paul Thomas Anderson, best adapted screenplayStuart Heritage
For One Battle After Another. The fightback against Sinners begins. Anderson nearly drops his award, and says how much he loves London. It’s a short speech, the sort one gives when you think you may be back for another one soon.

Stuart Heritage
Adapted screenplay now, presented by Warwick Davis, who suggests that he was asked to present because Bafta already had a miniature lectern they wanted to reuse.

WINNER! Akinola Davies Jr and Wale Davies, Outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producerStuart Heritage
For My Father’s Shadow. Very sweet, and very brief speech.
