This award ceremony was definitely more watchable than most. Celebrating the best of British cinema, the night was full of typical British banter, kiss cams and hilarious speeches. But who was up there on the podium thanking their families this year? While the competition has been tough this year, it seemed almost inevitable that Leonardo DiCaprio would be walking away the Best Actor for his role in The Renevant, which also took home Best Film and Best Director for Alejandro Iñárritu.
