Hosted by Stephen Fry the awards saw Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel winning the most prizes, gaining five from their eleven nominations. The Theory of Everything, Whiplash and Boyhood followed, winning three awards each. Boyhood walked away with the Best Film and Best Director prizes and Eddie Redmayne added to his trophy cabinet, winning the Best Actor award for his performance as Professor Stephen Hawking and looks to be the front runner for the Oscar. Redmayne praised Professor Hawking in his acceptance speech and The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller had a dig at the Academy when they collected the award for Best Animated Film. Jack O'Connell won the BAFTA Raising Star Award which is voted by the public. But the awards ceremony was met with controversy with viewers noticing Bob Hoskins and Rik Mayall were absent in the tribute montage.
