The Favourite lived up to its name at the British Independent Film Awards last night - winning a record 10 awards, including Best British Independent Film.
Yorgos Lanthimos was also named Best Director for his, which sees two of Queen Anne's acolytes jockey for position. It also won Best Screenplay for writers Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, while Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz picked up the Best Actress and Supporting Actress gongs for their roles in the film.
The Best Actor award went to Joe Cole for A Prayer Before Dawn, with Alessandro Nivola picking up the Best Supporting Actor prize for his role in Disobedience.
Orlando von Einsiedel won the Best Documentary prize for his personal film Evelyn, which sees the filmmaker go on a walking holiday with his family and consider the suicide of his brother a decade on from the tragedy. The Douglas Hickox Award for Best Debut also went to a very personal story - Richard Billingham's consideration of his parents, Ray & Liz.
