Yet again, Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist has proven to be the most acclaimed film. It was awarded Film of the Year as well as Director of the Year and Actor of the Year for Jean Dujardin.
A Separation was another triple prize-winner. It claimed Foreign Language Film, Screenwriter of the Year and Supporting Actress for Sareh Bayat. The Iron Lady was the only other multiple award winner with prizes for Actress (Meryl Streep) and British Actress (Olivia Colman). Streep's award, however, was a tie with Anna Paquin for her work in Margaret, while Colman's award was also for her work on Tyrannosaur.
Michael Fassbender was named British Actor of the Year for both A Dangerous Method and Shame, while fellow Brit Kenneth Branagh was given the prize for Supporting Actor for My Week With Marilyn.
Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin was declared British Film of the Year.
Drive and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had led with six nominations each, but although they finished 3rd and 4th respectively on the top ten list, Drive went away empty-handed while Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy managed a single win in Technical Achievement for Maria Djurkovic's production design.
