Did the stars thank their agents or bash Trump?
Politics were high on the agenda in the speeches at the 2017 Bafta awards.
Acceptance speeches from the likes of Emma Stone and Manchester By The Sea’s Kenneth Lonergan addressed the state of Us politics.
There was also criticism of Brexit and the British government’s scrapping of the Dubs child refugee scheme, with Ken Loach in particular slamming the government’s “brutality”
Even host Stephen Fry made a few political jokes, saying of this year’s awards: “[Let’s] find out who the Russians have decided has won”.
Outstanding British Film
“Thank you to the academy for endorsing the truth of what this film says,” I, Daniel Blake’s Ken Loach said accepting the award. “The most vulnerable and poorest people are treated by government with brutality. Brutality that keeps out refugee children, and that’s disgraceful.

La La Land and I, Daniel Blake take home big prizes at the BAFTAs. Here's the full list of winners...
No harm was done on La La Land's path to the Oscars at today's BAFTA Film Awards 2017, with the British Academy for Film and Television Arts rewarding the acclaimed musical with its top gong.

TorinoFilmLab awards more than $460,000 to several upcoming projects.
Laszlo Nemes’ Sunset was among several titles to win funding at this week’s 8th TorinoFilmLab Meeting Event (Nov 25-27).
The coming-of-age thriller, centred on a young woman in Budapest before the First World War, was awarded a grant of €50,000 ($53,000).
The film marks the second feature from Nemes, whose debut Son Of Saul won the Grand Jury Prize and Fipresci Prize when it premiered at Cannes in May and is tipped for Oscar success.
Sunset will be produced by Gabor Sipos of Hungary’s Laokoon Cinema, the production company behind Son Of Saul.
Speaking to ScreenDaily in June, Nemes said Sunset will be set in Budapest in 1910, when the city was cosmopolitan, tolerant and full of inhabitants from different cultural and religious backgrounds.
“[The Nazis] killed all of that. The 20th century transformed Hungary into an ethnically pure country in a way,” said Nemes.

From big blockbusters to small independent films, here are the movies I.m dying to see this Fall. (Official synopsis provided by studios)
September 18 (Friday)
About Ray When a young woman (Elle Fanning) decides to transition from female to male, her announcement is met with both opposition and support from her mother (Naomi Watts) and her lesbian grandmother (Susan Sarandon).
Black Mass In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James "Whitey" Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history. -- (C) Warner Bros
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials In this next chapter of the epic "Maze Runner" saga, Thomas (Dylan O'Brien...

Werner Herzog won the award for best documentary for “Encounters at the End of the World,” in which the director travels to Antarctica to capture the landscape’s rarely seen beauty.
The Standard Life Audience Award was presented to James Marsh for “Man on Wire,” a documentary about tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s daring but often illegal stunts.
