    The 65th British Academy Film Awards were held in London this Sunday, February 12. Surprise winner was “The Skin I Live In,” for the “Film Not in the English Language” category as everyone expected “A Separation” from Iran wins this category.
    “The Artist” was the big winner, scooping up awards in seven major categories, including “Best Film” and “Best Screenplay” and “Best Director” for Michel Hazanavicius. Jean Dujardin of “The Artist” took home the prize for best actor.

    The second clear BAFTA winner tonight was dramatic biopic The Iron Lady. Critics were impressed with Meryl Streep’s portrayal of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the star walked away with an award for Best Actress. The feature was also honored in the Make Up and Hair category.

    Martin Scorcese received several accolades at the ceremony. The venerable director’s first-ever family film Hugo took home trophies for Production Design and Sound. Martin himself was honoured with the BAFTA Academy Fellowship for his exceptional contribution to film, one of the highest acknowledgments of the evening.

    Other notable winners this year include spy film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The film starring Gary Oldman left the event with awards for Outstanding British Film and Best Adapted Screenplay.
