Baftas 2010: the winners

For some, so rapid was the ceremony they barely had time to take their coat off. Here's Andrea Arnold and Nick Laws with their awards for outstanding British film, Fish Tank

British acting talent did especially well on the night. For this is not the little German lad with the dead budgie from The White Ribbon, but Carey Mulligan of An Education with her best actress award

And here's Colin Firth, winner of the best actor award for A Single Man. Firth's back-up plan in the event of a loss was to biro his skin blue in an effort to impress James Cameron. You can see where he's begun on his hand

Another Brit: Duncan Jones, director of Moon, and winner of the award for outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer. So, you have to be British to win that one. Still, no need to be quite so abashed

Other nationalities can get jealous. First Terry Gilliam bestows the award for outstanding contribution to British cinema to technician Joe Dunton, then attempts to karate chop it from his hands

Fab hair, ace makeup … the least you'd expect from Jenny Shircore, winner of best makeup and hair for The Young Victoria

But it wasn't all about the Brits. Mo'Nique won best supporting actress for her role in Precious. This isn't her; it's the director of Precious, Lee Daniels, collecting it on her behalf. That happens, sometimes. Yet Matt Dillon is still confused

Say what? He's a Nazi …? Anna Kendrick learns more about the part for which she presented Christoph Waltz with the award for best supporting actor

Some transatlantic action: Aaron Johnson gives it the full smoulder as he clutches Michael Giacchino, winner of the Bafta for best music for his soundtrack to Up

A little film called Avatar picked up some awards, too: here's Joe Letteri, Stephen Rosenbaum, Richard Banehan and Andrew Jones with their best visual effects gongs

And here's Avatar's production design team: Rick Carter, Robert Stromberg and Kim Sinclair

But that was their lot. Avatar, and all the rest of the hopefuls, were muscled out by the dominance of Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker. Here's Bigelow with her best director award. She keeps trim by fashioning any Minstrels she's offered into a frock

The Hurt Locker picked up awards for best cinematography … here's Barry Ackroyd playing scissors, paper, stone with his Bafta

And, last one: best picture. Bigelow will doubtless keep this laughing face on all the way to the Oscars
