The 2018 Bafta Film Awards take place tonight - PA

It was a big night for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which won five awards - including best film and best original screenplay as well as best actress for its star Frances McDormand.

In many ways its story - a strong woman standing up for injustice - was just what Hollywood needed.

Many stars wore black to the awards ceremony as part of the ongoing campaign against sexual harassment and abuse in the film industry.

As expected, Gary Oldman won the best actor award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, setting him up as the clear favourite to win an Oscar.

Underperformer of the night was The Shape of Water, which was expected to sweep the night by some critics. It was nominated for 12 awards but only came away with three.

Baftas 2018: the stars in pictures

The winners:

Best Film: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Director: Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water)

Leading Actor: Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour)

Leading Actress: Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)

Original Screenplay: Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)

Acclaimed playwright McDonagh's drama about a grieving mother's attempt to seek justice for her daughter's rape and murder has a sharp comic tone, despite its dark subject matter. "It is a film that continually forces you to interrogate your own reactions to it – both in terms of what you’re laughing at and why," wrote The Telegraph's critic Robbie Collin in a five star review.

Supporting Actress: Allison Janney (I, Tonya)

Janney danced her way to the stage to collect her award and joked that she "could simply murder a glass of water right now".

She said: "I want to thank Bafta, and I want to clear up a little lie that I've perpetrated for the past 30 years. I did not, in fact, graduate from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art."

The American actress joked that she attended for a "two-week programme" though, and added that it is why she "fell in love with London and the theatre". Janney thanked the I, Tonya team, and the film's writer Steven Rogers, for insisting she play the role of LaVona Fay Golden, figure skater Tonya Harding's mother. "You've given me a gift I will never forget, my friend, I love you, cheers," she added to Rogers.

Adapted Screenplay: Call Me By Your Name

The screenplay for Call Me By Your Name was adapted from a 2007 novel by André Aciman – and the man who adapted it, 89-year-old screenwriter James Ivory, is now one of the oldest award-winners in Bafta history. Ivory is best known for the period dramas he wrote and directed for Merchant Ivory, the film company he created with producer  Ismail Merchant, who passed away in 2005.

Speaking to The Telegraph about the company's legacy last year, Ivory said: “It is poignant, of course. How can it not be? But there we are. There was a time when [screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala] and Ismail did all the speaking, and all the writing. Now I feel I have to speak for everybody. It’s up to me.”

Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)

Rockwell paid tribute to the late Alan Rickman as he accepted his award, and quoted a line he accredited to the late actor, saying: "There are no great actors, only great roles."

He added: "I've been a journeyman my whole life, I never dreamed I'd be standing here in London, celebrating this incredible movie, and I stand here as a result of many people who believed in me over the years, sometimes when I didn't believe in me."

As he signed off, Rockwell said: "I'm very lucky to be here tonight, thank you to the British Academy, this is for my pal Alan Rickman, I'll see you at the bar!"

Outstanding British Film: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Receiving the award, producer Graham Broadbent said on stage: "We finished this film about a year ago, it's the story of a woman taking on the establishment and status quo, and it seems more timely now than we ever could have imagined.

"In the last few months with Time's Up in the US and now the UK, the tectonic shifts are taking place. It turns out meaningful change can happen very quickly if we put our mind to it, not just for the film industry, but for everyone."

EE Rising Star Award: Daniel Kaluuya

The Get Out star, who is also nominated for leading actor, said upon receiving the prize: "I am a product of arts funding within the United Kingdom, and I'd like to thank the people that financially support that."

He thanked his mother, who was sitting in the audience, and said: "Mum, you're the reason why I started, the reason why I'm here, and the reason why I keep going. Thank you for everything – this is yours."

Original Music: The Shape of Water

Prolific composer Alexandre Desplat has worked on a number of recent Bafta- and Oscar-winning films, including The King's Speech, The Danish Girl, Argo, and The Imitation Game.

Make-up and Hair: Darkest Hour

Japanese artist Kazuhiro Tsuji, who helped to transform the slender Gary Oldman into a jowly Winston Churchill, was lured out of retirement to work on Darkest Hour. Tsuji has speculated that at least 60 different facial prosthetics were used over the course of the film’s 54-day shoot, with sweat and wear and tear forcing the majority to be thrown out at the end of a day’s filming.

Animated Film: Coco

Inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead festival, this family film follows a young musician's adventure in the afterlife. In his review of Coco, The Telegraph's critic Robbie Collin wrote: "Pixar’s latest feature crosses a frontier that most films, animated or otherwise, can only tip-toe up to at best. It’s a zingy, sunny family adventure about what it means to be dead."

Costume Design: Phantom Thread

Paul Thomas Anderson's film about a brilliant and obsessive fashion designer had its own haute couture expert in Mark Bridges, who in 2012 won both a Bafta and and Oscar for his work on silent comedy The Artist.
