And our Bafta style awards go to ...

Worst hair: Eva Green Hours of work clearly went into this 'do' but how was the look achieved? Experts have already calculated that two litres of Elnett and three hours of backcombing went into this magnificent production. Some are speculating that a banana clip was used in this tonsorial tribute to Adam Ant.

Best dress: Helen Mirren Flattering in every way, and there's no need to reflect too much on what the sartorial semiotics of wearing a champagne-coloured dress suggest here. Mirren celebrates another well-deserved win, although the crumpled effect suggests that she isn't too uptight about this whole evening gown thing. She looks the part, but in true British style she might swear a bit as well.

Best comeback: Sienna Miller And best back, come to mention it. Sienna's first appearance since knickergate, wearing vintage Ungaro, was a success. It says: "I can do grown up and classic when the situation demands." Not surprised she claimed to be a "little chilly" though.

Worst dress: Thandie Newton It should have been so right. Beautiful actor wears dress by British Designer of the Year Giles Deacon. Shame the effect of so much mushroom pufftail was more taffeta slug than anything else.

Best hair: Kate Winslet Award controversially goes to Kate Winslet for her mastery of the power ponytail. Usually seen on Angelina Jolie, its power is twofold: first, it shows off the articulated earrings to full effect; second, with one swoosh it can take out any obnoxious party guests.

Best make-up: Daniel Craig Usually we look to Kate Moss for a steer on the smudged-eyeliner rock'n'roll party look. This time Craig wins it hands down.

A for effort, E for achievement dress: Eva Green's Dior Dress This Dior backless dress has a lot to do. It desperately tries to detract from Green's hair, it tries to be jewellery as well as a dress, and it's fulfilling the long-sleeve-and-backless micro trend.

The last season award, sponsored by Debenhams: Sarah Harding Harding wears last season's award dress colour (purple), while displaying last season's designated area of flesh (the cleavage). Congratulations, Sarah! Paris Hilton will be proud.

The 'I don't want to be here' award: Judi Dench The lack of jewellery doesn't help, but it's the pointed boots that really give the game away. Too Kate Middleton goes to Jigsaw for words.

Worst neckline: Emily Watson Unflattering and messy. Simultaneously manages to remove her waist and drain her colour. Interestingly, the top half of the dress is the mirror reflection of Watson's ever-so-slightly flicked fringe. Was this planned?
