DHAKA: Wilderness drama The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has dominated this year's Baftas.
It was named best film while DiCaprio won best actor and Alejandro G Inarritu best director.
The Mexican director described the win as "overwhelming". He said DiCaprio's "talent and commitment" to the "risky project" had "kept the film breathing", reports the BBC.
The ceremony at London's Royal Opera House on Sunday was hosted by Stephen Fry.
DiCaprio, who plays fur-trapper Hugh Glass, said he was "humbled and honoured" and praised the influence of British actors on his acting career. He also used his win to wish his mother a happy birthday.
Apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road took four awards: for make-up and hair, editing, costumes and production design.
Brie Larson won the best leading actress award for her role as a kidnapped mother in Room.
Director Lenny Abrahamson, who picked up the award on her behalf, called her "one of the best actors of her generation."
Both supporting acting prizes went to British winners.
Steve Jobs star Kate Winslet was named best supporting actress, beating double nominee Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rooney Mara and fellow Brit Julie Walters.
Picking up her statuette, Winslet praised her fellow nominees saying it had been "an extraordinary year for women".
She also gave thanks to the real Joanna Hoffman, Jobs' loyal assistant, who she said was "so wonderful telling her stories to me".
Mark Rylance won best supporting actor for his role as British-born Soviet agent in Bridge of Spies.
The first award of the night, for outstanding British film, went to period drama Brooklyn, in which Saoirse Ronan plays a young Irish woman who emigrates to New York.
Its director John Crowley said: "One of the things this film is about is kindness of strangers - as this film has made its way out into the world the warmth of response has been overwhelming."
