Richard E Grant became emotional and struggled to hold back tears as he introduced the in memoriam section of the BAFTA ceremony to remember those in the film industry who died in the last 12 months.
Introducing the tribute, he said: "Tonight is celebration of film in all its mad, sad, funny, frightening, thought-provoking forms.
"Let's take this opportunity to pay tribute to those members of the global film community that we sadly lost over the last 12 months."
