2005 BAFTA winners - as they happened
12th Feb 05
 So a divided Orange British Academy Film Awards tonight, with honours spread over a variety of films. The Aviator flew to the top of the class with four awards, including the big one, Best Film and Supporting Actress for Cate Blanchett, but Vera Drake ran a close race with three BAFTAs, including a Best Director award for Mike Leigh and Best Actress for Imelda Staunton.
Other films to receive more than one award were The Motorcycle Diaries (best foreign film and music), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (editing and screenplay) and Ray (Best actor for Jamie Foxx and Best Sound).
Clive Owen secure a Best Supporting Actor award for Closer, the Orange Film of the Year Award (voted by the British public) went to Harry Potter 3 and My Summer of Love won the British Film of the Year award (unfortunately beating Shaun of the Dead).
