Mescal and Abrams go red carpet official, a 'strong language' apology and other Bafta highlights
This year's Bafta Film Awards had it all... A-listers, a touch of royalty, Paddington Bear - and the sun even came out, for what felt like the first time all year.
There were plenty of tears - and also a major upset - as Timothée Chalamet, the frontrunner to win best actor, lost out to Robert Aramayo.
Here are six highlights from the biggest night in British film.
The biggest gasp backstage was when 33-year-old Hull born Robert Aramayo beat Hollywood royalty to win the Bafta for leading actor.
Aramayo, who starred in I Swear, took the trophy away from frontrunner Timothée Chalamet, who seemed unstoppable heading into the awards at the Royal Festival Hall.
His win was richly deserved, but it was still a hugely dramatic moment when that category was announced.
Chalamet’s film, Marty Supreme, was also snubbed.
It came into the night with 11 nominations. It left with zero.
In the film, the lead character was always trying to succeed - but never quite got there. Maybe there was a message in that.
It wasn't just Hollywood royalty at Sunday night's event.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also made an appearance, walking the red carpet before attending the ceremony, in their first public appearance since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.
Prince William is the president of Bafta and also gave a speech on the night.
Before the awards began, Prince William and Catherine gave an insight into the films they've been watching as they chatted behind the scenes.
Prince William said the F1 movie was "fantastic", "mainly because of the music" which was created by Hans Zimmer.
He admitted he hasn't watched Sinners yet, but said it's a "bit dark".
He has seen One Battle After Another, and said he "was not expecting it to start the way it did", describing it as "weird" but good.
As for Hamnet, he said he needs to be in a "calm state" to watch it, adding: "I'm not at the moment".
Catherine, wearing a pink and white gown with a burgundy velvet belt which matched William's suit jacket, said she saw the Shakespeare drama on Saturday.
But she admitted the pair still have "a long list of films" they haven't seen.
"Hopefully this will help," she said.
Red carpets always hold surprises - and we were delighted to spot none other than Paddington Bear.
Fresh from the West End play, everyone's favourite Peruvian bear made an appearance at the Bafta's to present the children's and family film award.
"I am the first presenter to get marmalade all over a Bafta," said Paddington.
He then handed the "slightly sticky Bafta" to the film Boong.
Paddington seemed to miss the black tie memo. But he's cute so we'll let him get away with it.
Host Alan Cumming apologised a number of times for strong language heard from the audience during the ceremony.
John Davidson, whose life with Tourette's syndrome was portrayed in I Swear by Robert Aramayo, was among those at the awards.
Cumming explained that Tourette's is a disability.
"You may have noticed some strong language in the background. This can be part of how Tourette's syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience," he told the audience.
“Thanks for your understanding and helping create a respectful space for everyone."
Later on in the ceremony Cumming made a further statement, saying: "Tourette's Syndrome is a disability and the tics you've heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette's Syndrome has no control over their language.
“We apologise if you are offended tonight."
A BBC spokesperson said the strong language "arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and was not intentional. We apologise for any offence caused by the language heard."
One film that wasn't recognised was KPop Demon Hunters.
The Netflix film was a massive, viral smash hit last year - but it's not eligible at the Baftas, because in the UK, it was released on Netflix first, before any cinema screenings (although a singalong version was released in cinemas later).
But the singers behind the film still made an appearance at the ceremony.
They performed the catchy song Golden, which was one of the biggest hits of last year.
Jessie Ware also took to the stage to perform during the ceremony's In Memoriam section, which pays tribute to the artists and creatives who have died during the past year.
Jessie sang Barbra Streisand song The Way We Were for the segment - which paid tribute to Catherine O'Hara, Rob Reiner, Brigitte Bardot, Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman and Robert Redford, among others.
Hamnet star Paul Mescal and his partner Gracie Abrams looked loved up as they took to the red carpet earlier on Sunday.
Mescal, who was nominated for best actor, wore a loose-fitting black suit with a white shirt under, while singer-songwriter Abrams turned heads in a dark brown dress with a floral green pattern.
They then went in for the ceremony, and at one point - ahead of the announcement of the outstanding British film winner, Mescal couldn't help himself from peeking at his phone.
Host Alan Cumming was quick to catch him out, leaving Mescal red-faced.
Don't worry Paul, we've all been there.
