Baftas 2022: Britain’s big film awards night – as it happened

Now, what can we learn from tonight’s event? Try harder to make the winners show up, probably. And, quite frankly, I don’t have any idea who’ll win at the Oscars. They take place exactly two weeks from today. If you’re game to do this all over again, but longer and louder, I am too. Deal? Good. Goodnight.

And, unless Rebel Wilson has found any more bits of underwear to throw at professional actors, the Baftas are done. The only thing left is to cram in all the awards that weren’t screened.

The weird thing about this is that, unlike the televised awards, all the winners actually turned up for these ones. But if you’re counting, Dune won a bunch of them and we won another. Cherish Oteka’s The Black Cop won best British short film. If you didn’t see it on the Guardian website in January, you can (and should) watch it here.
