The latter won the award in 2009 for the smash hit Slumdog Millionaire.
Other highlights from last nights award show included Joaquin Phoenix winning the award for best actor for his role in Joker. His previous win at the Golden Globe coupled with his win here at the Baftas has made him one of the favourites to win this year’s Academy Awards.
