| Helena, Colin and Geoffrey all took home awards for The King's Speech |
In a night of few surprises, The King's Speech was crowned the big winner at this year's BAFTAs, scooping seven awards including best leading actor (Colin Firth), supporting actor (Geoffrey Rush), supporting actress (Helena Bonham Carter) and best film.
Accepting the best actor award for the second year in a row, Firth joked: "I like coming here, thank you, BAFTA."
There was also awards glory for The Social Network, which picked up best director, adapted screenplay, and editing, while Inception won for its production design, sound, and special visual Effects.

| Andrew Garfield on the red carpet |
The Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award - voted for by the public - went to Inception's Tom Hardy, despite strong competition from Andrew Garfield, Aaron Johnson, Gemma Arterton and Emma Stone. Ironically Hardy was the only one of the five nominees who wasn't present at the event, but the other four were all spotted wowing the crowds outside London's Royal Opera House - particularly Garfield and Stone (see our red-carpet snaps here).
Though the weather was undeniably soggy to say the least, it didn't manage to dampen the spirits of either the fans or the talent. Other big names attending the glamorous event included Amy Adams, Jessica Alba, Jesse Eisenberg (pictured), Samuel L Jackson (awesome hat), James McAvoy, Sir Paul McCartney (pictured), Julianne Moore, Dev Patel, Kevin Spacey, Emma Watson and Rosamund Pike (who almost announced the best original screenplay winner before the nominees had been revealed! In the end it went to David Seidler for - yep, you've guessed it - The King's Speech).
Though there were hardly any big shocks on the night, it was fantastic to see so many stars turn out to celebrate the cream of this year's cinematic crop. Will there be some twists in store at the upcoming Oscars, or will The King's Speech reign supreme there too? Watch this space...
Here's the full list of winners and nominees.
