hello and welcome back to the royal albert hall, we are in the lobby which is starting to get noisy because we have just reached the end of the ceremony for the bafta awards, an important night in the british film calendar, a knight that has been goodin calendar, a knight that has been good in terms of the awards for the british film 1917 directed by sam mendes is but it has been by no means without controversy and we

will touch on that and several winners making a reference in their speeches. people just winners making a reference in their speeches. peoplejust emerging winners making a reference in their speeches. people just emerging from the ceremony, that is why it will get noisy. jason solomons has been here with me, we were on the red—carpet and watching the ceremony. we will talk about some of the controversies but let's start with the winners and it has been a good night for some mendez. seven ba ftas for good night for some mendez. seven baftas for 1917, a huge hall, could not quite break the record of nine but a tremendous night to do the double, outstanding british film and best farm, only achieved quite recently by the kings speech and three billboards and some mendis has w011 three billboards and some mendis has won with american beauty and sky

for, a crowning mate putting him at the centre, i think it is a future classic of british cinema so i was pleased to see it winning particularly cinematography, anyone who sees the farm remarks on the cinematography and the story is the great thing about that so i think it isa great thing about that so i think it is a really deserving winner and it has carried all before it tonight. let's see a little of part of the a cce pta nce let's see a little of part of the acceptance speech because the story was co—written by sam mendes and based on stories in his own grandfather had told him. it features an array of the very best british acting talent alongside over 1000 performers and supporting actors but we don't1917 to tell

over 1000 performers and supporting actors but we don't 1917 to tell the story of a one foot ship the fabric of our society and the unbelievable bravery of those who fought an editor thank you very much. applause sam mendes has talked a lot about his grandfather only told him a little and he has tried to piece that together and everyone was delighted with the award for roger dickens for cinematography. he is one of the most nominated people, and we will see that the oscars and will be difficult for him not to when as well. a lot of people thought parasite made when director, did well as a fawn film winning on a jewel screenplay and foreign—language category i think 1917 as the film to beat which no

one has managed, a film like the irishman which brought robert de niro and martin scorsese, at one nothing at all. some people go away empty—handed when there is a big sweep like 1917. let's talk about the four big acting categories because in terms of who won it was a slam dunk. we sat together on the day of the nominations and said who can beat working phoenix, who can beat reddy zellweger and all those categories have gone that way. even in the supporting category with monitoring and brad pitt, he was not with us tonight. he sent a very funny acceptance speech and it was the acting categories that give us the acting categories that give us the most interesting speeches. joaquin phoenix who won forjoker,

graham norton referred to that and his opening monologue about white the white people had dominated the ceremony and he said the joker was a white man who made himself even more white. lacking phoenix do not laugh at that and we found out these later as he talked about inclusivity and the lack of diversity and said this problem is systemic racism and there was a sharp intake of breath, people we re was a sharp intake of breath, people were shocked he was going there but then he said it is systemic, it is on us then he said it is systemic, it is on us to change it. he is part of the problem. and he said those who benefit must work with the system to change that. we are sending a powerful message to people of colour that they are not welcome and that was a big shock to the audience. they digested the message and they got a one round of applause at the end. let's see if anyone in the room

does something about it, that is the big task for bafta going forward. the head of the british academy came out pretty swiftly after the nominations were announced on the day and put out a statement talking about how disappointed she was that the nominations were as they were, particularly and those acting categories. now do you think the next year until toby are standing here is some work to do. nobody wa nts a here is some work to do. nobody wants a hand—outs and you cannot just looking for these films with black or ethnic minority talent and force them, it is about getting the members to look for a more interesting performances, to look elsewhere. it is not about who wins but there's nominations. we saw evidence of that talent welling up, evidence of that talent welling up,

evidence of that talent welling up, evidence of female film—makers and the documentary category with the filmic from syria brought her daughter sam on stage, a very touching moment to be so daniel career day handing on his award to michael ward and that was a moving moment. we have that representation, it isa moment. we have that representation, it is a question of putting that more centre stage and getting people to recognise it. no one is talking about tokenism, that is why it is difficult because we cannot think of films we have seen and the last year going that is an amazing performance. i remember tweeting coming out from harriet saying that is simplya coming out from harriet saying that is simply a bafta nomination and the bike, i could not conceive she would not be nominated and yet nothing.

although she has actually been nominated at the oscars. cynthia devo was invited to sing but she said she was not coming just two do you a turn, this is a integral part of my performance so these things do get seen, they have a knock—on effect. be people say audiences do not care, black and female audiences ca re not care, black and female audiences care about representation and they got the biggest cheers when rebel wilsonjoked got the biggest cheers when rebel wilson joked about not being able to do what directors do, saying i do not have the balls. it got the biggest cheer of the night. a quick thought about renee zellweger, i love to performance asjudy, she did her own singing. your thoughts on that, she seems to be a real darling

of the crowd. she is playing judy garland so you get points for an impression, they always win as the old tale of hollywood but it is a story set in london in the 60s so there is an ownership, it is a british film after all so be felt very precious about that even when the first pictures of renee zellweger was back performance was released they said it cannot be her, it looks likejudy released they said it cannot be her, it looks like judy and released they said it cannot be her, it looks likejudy and she carried that all the way through the film of which is built around the performance, i think she thoroughly deserves it, i thought go for the 0scar now. she has gone all the beat through, i think it is a great performance and i have no problem with that. i do not thinkjudy is an amazing film but it is a wonderful performance and i could not see anyone else knocking her off, the irony being thatjudy gathered

herself another one a bafta or an 0scar. herself another one a bafta or an oscar. someone who is a real darling generally seems to be a laura dern. marriage story was nominated but did not convert into wins but dead with laura dern. ithought not convert into wins but dead with laura dern. i thought with a home crowd they might go with florence pugh but they went with laura dern and a good statistic you have is she referenced in her speech she has history at the baftas. when i was six years old my mother received this very award in this

category thanks to martin scorsese and it sat on our piano and my friend asked me what is that mask andi friend asked me what is that mask and i said my mum told me it is what friends give you to congratulate you because you get to have the job you love. so thank you bafta for including me in this room of extraordinary artists and beloved friends as we get to tell stories and do the job you love. laura dern talking about her mum winning in 197a. they were together and wild at heart. what struck about parasite, at one best film not in the english language, it is from south korea but this was being

looked at because it is plain strongly, suddenly everyone is talking about south korean cinema as if it has just been discovered. talking about south korean cinema as if it hasjust been discovered. when parasite won the pandora at cannes which is the biggest prize to win for a film—makers film, everyone thought it was perfect. the uk is one of the last territories to have it, the distributors waiting for the bus. it is about a family who take over a house, it is full of surprises, a russian doll of a movie. very clever developments which we will not spoil. it is a perfect little film, smooth gear can

distance day transitions was the matter is not an art form, it is a one and eight social comedy, a family drama, ken loach means spooky horror. i think it is a very classy film, it has done very well and box office, a bit big hit in america and korea, everyone office, a bit big hit in america and korea , everyone once office, a bit big hit in america and korea, everyone once to see it and they were very happy to see director bong joon—ho on stage twice, talking about writing the film in a cafe, w011 about writing the film in a cafe, won best screenplay another thought he would be at the royal albert hall which is a famous landmark in south korea. he endeared himself to the public here. it will be interesting to see what happens next week at the 0scars to see how that may or may not play out. i think foreign language films at the oscars, roma was a favourite but could not quite

carry it out, can parasite do it? it has six nominations which is a lot, i'm still not sure it has the heft 01’ i'm still not sure it has the heft or the wider love to beat of the like of 1917 which is one of those films people see it and think i am blown away, i will vote for that on the top of my ballot, one of the vast films to enter the race and the positioning and once as key. people like the irishman and marriage story and 0nce like the irishman and marriage story and once upon a time in hollywood but they saw 1917 and at is the sort of film that stuns you and it is the best film ever. i'm not sure it is the best film ever but is a very powerful film and i the best film ever but is a very powerfulfilm and i think the best film ever but is a very powerful film and i think it will be seen powerful film and i think it will be seen and schools for years to come. as you are studying the first world war it is a greatest hits of that but never done it so smoothly. great british performances from george mackay and, on fourth and mark

strong. think of a famous british actor and label bn at. i liked 1917 and adore russian deacons and his extraordinary cinematic achievement. 1917 has done well at the expense of the irishman which full... a film i liked but famous for being long, graham norton joked this liked but famous for being long, graham nortonjoked this ceremony liked but famous for being long, graham norton joked this ceremony as long like the the irishman. stony faces from robert de niro and al pacino in the audience. the achievement of the irishman is more than just achievement of the irishman is more thanjust being achievement of the irishman is more than just being long, achievement of the irishman is more thanjust being long, it has become known for its lengthy list which is a shame to the detriment of what is a shame to the detriment of what is a fine late period masterpiece. a shame to the detriment of what is a fine late period masterpiecem is very stylish.

let's hear from robert let's hearfrom robert de niro and al pacino. what is the moment like when you film a scene with robert de niro?“ we can find him... i am trying to jog- we can find him... i am trying to jog. he is great. the thing with robert, you can do anything. that is the pleasure i have of working with him. somehow, you come up with a word, a line, something, he is right there. he is so that in the scene it isa there. he is so that in the scene it is a pleasure for an actor to work with someone like that. i have worked with actors who will sometimes say, what was that? is he going to do that? robert does anything you do, he is right with it. it is like you're playing with someone it. it is like you're playing with someone who is hitting the ball back all the time, it is fun. well, there really were some legends on the red carpet tonight, it was extraordinary. let's talk, very quickly, about little women. it

partly ta kes quickly, about little women. it partly takes us back to the issue of diversity. it won one award for costu mes. diversity. it won one award for costu m es. a diversity. it won one award for costumes. a massive cheerfor the winner when she was announced. perhaps people thought it would go for something more showy likejudy or the irishman, very stylish. british winner, very popular. she started with joe british winner, very popular. she started withjoe wright, with films like atonement. she made the bikini for a keira knightley andy green dress. she has been around for a long time, jackie. she is at the top of her game, doing the costumes with little women. collaborative, doing the costumes with greta gerwig. she muddied up the costumes, she famously did that for pride and prejudice, and she has done it again, the costumes and hair are very sensitive and define the characters. i love that film and would love to see more love for it.

that is what i was driving at. i wondered if the enormous chair that went up, she is well—known well liked, but whether that was, goodness, little women has won something? greta gerwig widely considered to be overlooked in the best director category and stateside at the oscars. there was an audience feeling, i am so glad it has been the winner of something. it has done well at the box office. this is the big thing. if you ask saoirse ronan, who was nominated for best actress, but she is getting out of this, it has been a massive hit, a great hit in the uk and in the us. people have flocked to see it, it has done over the magic 100 million mark, it is a huge success. that is what is important. you can make a film that skews for a female audience, and people do not see it, the studio will say, that is why girls do not do well. this film is a classic. she has played with it and done her own

imprint. people want to see these things and she has done a greatjob. she is unlucky not to be nominated as best director. she did a fantastic job and everything, as best director. she did a fantasticjob and everything, the music, the casting comedy costumes. when you're doing period, eight guides to making the texture of great literature, the feeling you get in pigs. this film rustles in the same way as a great novel, you can feel the pages of it. it is a literary film, but very popular. there are a couple of categories that look at emerging talent, we have touched on the rising star award, micheal ward has taken that tonight. there is also a category of best achievement by a bright and either writing or producing. it has gone to a cornish film—maker, mark jenkin, for a really unusual, and i say that in a good way, a really striking film called bait, said in a cornish fishing village. i was delighted to see that when. what are

your thoughts? it is a film from another planet, i was delighted, too. it is in black and white, shot and 16mm. home cinema, the sort of thing that your dad used to take pictures of you. he had processed it himself. it was under the radar. people fall in love with this film. it is scary. you jump a couple of times. it is about people dying from london who rent cottages in cornwall at the expense of the local fishing community. they cannot park their ca i’s community. they cannot park their cars where they normally park, the tensions you feel if you go on holiday to cornwall, people who have second homes, it is about the housing crisis, subtly about those things, but it is also about the fishing family and your love for each other. the passing of the tradition. it looks like a documentary from the 1920s, something that humphreyjennings or john grierson might have made, it has that ethnographic texture to it.

extraordinary. whether markjenkin can repeat the trick again, understanding astounding debut, can he carry on like that? i know he is making a horror film scene. you he carry on like that? i know he is making a horrorfilm scene. you can find the film on the british film institute player. i had a chat to edward rowe, the lead actor on the red carpet. he and simon shepherd in the film. they were chuffed to hear that the 0deon chain in the uk has taken it on and it will be accessible because of the buzz it has garnered from the baftas. they we re has garnered from the baftas. they were delighted that something that started as a labour of love in cornwall will be seen by a wider audience. we always call awards that look like they're going to be at the ceremonies awards bait. it is called bait. after took the bait. it is edgy, different, iwould not say bait. after took the bait. it is edgy, different, i would not say it is diverse, it is set in cornwall. it is from a place where films are

diy. people will be saying, i want to see this. it is unusual. we do slam bafta for not advancing in some ways, but they put forward some great films, and it is a shame when you end up talking about the controversies of inclusivity and diversity when there are some great films tonight. bait is one of them. what do we take away from tonight? it has been a bumpy few weeks for bafta because of all the reasons we have touched on. tonight, we are in the albert hall, it is a time to celebrate film, it is a time to think about british film, it is the british academy, we are in london. there is a train of thought that says, sometimes i wish we could, i worship afterward, people are said to me, think more strongly about talent specifically, really rewarding and championing british talent. is that a fair criticism,

that more could be done or not, is it to hollywood looking? it is a tightrope, you want al pacino and robert de niro on the red carpet. you want leonardo dicaprio and brad pitt to come, they did not turn up at quentin tarantino, the director, he did. they go home empty—handed and they feel chastened and sometimes the studios throw parties and they mope around going, no 11. netflix had 39 nominees from around the world and they only had one winner, laura dern. they will be thinking, what have we got to do to when? they are not pushing over the line, they feel resistance. it is an interesting problem about the americans, do we become parties to the american system? british cinema was front and centre tonight with bait winning, 1917, and the outstanding contribution award going to end the circuits, one of my favourite actors, for the work he

has done in pioneering motion ca ptu re. has done in pioneering motion capture. —— andy serkis. has done in pioneering motion capture. -- andy serkis. he has pioneered this for all actors. liquor share. pioneered this for all actors. liquorshare. congratulations. pioneered this for all actors. liquor share. congratulations. an outstanding debut for your marvellous film, bait. i hope your ears we re marvellous film, bait. i hope your ears were burning. i heard you talking about it with mark kermode on the news channel. many congratulations. jason just said to me, ido congratulations. jason just said to me, i do not know how mark follows that. what do you do next? i am doing a horror film in the same way. i will try to stay under the radar a little bit. this does not really help. it is another reasonably small film. kernel —based? yes, set on an island off the coast of cornwall, a made up ireland but we are sitting on the far west of conroe, and we are doing that with filmli. we start shooting in may. we were talking

just before, about how left the field bait is. tell us about the journey? when you started filming, i do not think you thought, i will end up do not think you thought, i will end up in the alberto? because it is left of field, the film looks like my imagination. for me, it is mainstream. it is only when it goes out to an audience, they tell me how odd it is. when we were shooting, i never think about the audience when lam making never think about the audience when i am making the film. if i do, i am second guessing people. thank you so much. i am sorry to cut your. stay there, we will chat further. we have to close the programme. lovely to see you, and we will see you next year at the good night. —— at the baftas, good night. hello there. coming up later in this long—range weather forecast,

details of what could be some exceptionally windy weather through next weekend and the following week, but in the shorter term, there is some windy weather to come, thanks to this area of low pressure that will be with us through the day on monday, bringing some brisk winds across all parts of the uk but particularly, i think, the further north you are, those winds blowing in plenty of showers to scotland, northern ireland and northern england, some of those showers will be wintry over higher ground. meanwhile, rain affecting the channel islands. that might scrape into the far south of england at times. temperatures in the south, 10—11 degrees, a little bit cooler further north, and it will feel cooler than that, given the strength of the winds. during monday night, gales are likely with gusts of 75—80 mph for exposed spots in western scotland. also, very windy through the central belt, and into the early hours of tuesday, those strong winds extend into eastern scotland and parts of north—east england. there will also be some rain and snow over high ground so there could be blizzard conditions for some. further south, there

will be one or two showers, not quite as windy here to start tuesday morning. tuesday sees us trapped between low pressure, moving away to the east, and high pressure, squashing its way in from the west. that will continue to drive this brisk north—westerly flow across the british isles, but with that high pressure area building in, the shower activity will tend to be surpressed. it should be mostly dry by tuesday afternoon. still fairly windy, as i mentioned, and so while the temperatures might look ok on the face of it, 8—11 degrees, it will feel colder than that if you're stuck in the wind. quite a windy start to the week. there will be showers around, some snow over the hills. from midweek onwards, though, it looks like we will see a drier spell of weather, thanks to high pressure, which, as we get into wednesday, will be building its way quite strongly across the uk. where you are closest to the centre of the high, in the south, that is where we will have a particularly cold start to wednesday with a touch of frost in places, and potentially some fog patches as well. that is the kind of thing we would expect, really,

from high pressure at this time of year. but it also means that through the day on wednesday we are looking dry, there will be a lot of sunshine around. always the potential for more cloud, maybe the odd spot of rain in the northwest of scotland and temperatures between 8—10 degrees. as we move towards the end of the week, high pressure will still be close by, but you can see frontal systems will start to make some inroads towards the north—west. that means for northern and western areas, we will see a bit more cloud starting to push its way in. there could even be some rain at times in the north—west of scotland and it will turn a bit breezy. further south and east, that is where there is the best chance of keeping hold of some sunshine. temperatures typically between 9—11 degrees. now as we move through next weekend, the jet stream, the winds high up in the atmosphere, looking very strong indeed. we could see winds high up in the atmosphere of 250 mph or more racing across the atlantic and winds high up in the atmosphere tend to supercharge the atmosphere closer to the surface,

spinning up deep areas of low pressure, sending them our way. this could bring some really very stormy weather indeed. the details at this range still very much open to question but it looks like, as we head through next weekend and into the following week, certainly it is going to turn wetter. it will become windy but potentially there could be some very stormy weather on the cards. we will keep you up—to—date over the coming days.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 10pm. sudesh amman is named as the man shot dead by police in south london — after he stabbed members of the public. he was released from prison around a week ago after serving a sentence for terror offences. this offender clearly had some history, some clear history in relation to counterterrorism offences. and it is rather the police are now invested getting that and looking into that. three people are hurt, with one man in a life—threatening condition, after what police believe is an islamist—related terrorist incident. how many shots did you hear? three? three shot. what did you do? ijust ran. just ran for my life. how

fighting was
