Upbeat musical La La Land has triumphed over gritty dramas at the 70th EE British Academy Film Awards.
The film picked up five of the 11 prizes for which it was nominated - including best film, top director for Damien Chazelle and leading actress for Emma Stone.
Dev Patel has been awarded the supporting actor Bafta for his role in Lion.
Patel, who stars opposite Nicole Kidman in the film, said he was "overwhelmed".
Accepting his award, he said: "I love you guys, this is a film about a love that transcends borders, race, colours, anything and you guys are my driving force."
He thanked his "amazing team, who had the insane task of trying to get this Indian dude, this noodle with wonky teeth and a lazy eye and floppy hair work in this industry".
The other nominees were:
La La Land won five Baftas at the ceremony on Sunday night, which also saw success for Brits Dev Patel and Tom Holland.
