And if you're wondering how the results are out here so soon when the TV broadcast is still going on... well, the ceremony actually starts around 6:00pm and the BBC broadcast is a truncated 2 hours, so by the time the broadcast starts to air, the show is almost finished. I was following a live-blog from one of the newspaper sites. Unfortunately I'm not writing this from the Royal Albert Hall. One year...
On a personal level, I'm massively chuffed for both Letitia Wright and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse for winning their respective awards (I voted for Wright to win the Rising Star Award).
The Favourite was by and far the runaway winner of the night, with seven awards. Roma walked away with four, whilst Bohemian Rhapsody had two.
Congratulations to all winners!
The next Awards season post will be next weekend, to quickly update you on the winners of this year's Writers' Guild (WGA) Awards which are handed out next weekend (17th February)
