- Daniel Day Lewis ('Lincoln') logra su cuarto Bafta al Mejor actor
- Emmanuelle Riva, Mejor actriz por su intepretación en 'Amour'
'Argo' volvió a imponerse a 'Lincoln' en la recta final de los Bafta, mientras que 'Los Miserables' barrió como la mejor película británica, con el permiso de James Bond y las ocho nominaciones para 'Skyfall' (ni Javier Bardem ni Judi Dench lograron al final las estatuillas al mejor actor y actriz de reparto).
Ben Affleck, que consiguió también el Bafta al mejor director, avanza pues con paso de gigante hacia los Oscar con su 'thriller' inspirado en la crisis de los rehenes de Irán en 1979.
Pese a encabezar la lista de nominaciones con 10, 'Lincoln' tuvo que consolarse con el consabido reconocimiento al londinense Daniel Day Lewis, que conquistó su cuarto Bafta al mejor actor (tras los conseguidos con 'Mi pie izquierdo', 'Gangs de Nueva York' y 'Pozos de ambición').
La veterana Emmanuelle Riva se llevó el premio a la mejor actriz por su intepretación de una mujer con Alzheimer en 'Amour', distinguida también como la mejor película extranjera. Curiosamente, el cine francés colocó a otra destacada candidata entre las mejores actrices, Marion Cotillard, por 'De óxido y hueso'.
La noche tuvo un descarado sabor francés por cuenta de 'Los Miserables', el musical de inconfundible sabor británico que sirvió en bandeja el Bafta a la mejor actriz a la desmejorada Anne Hathaway: "Me parece que he pillado una laringitis". Judi Dench, nominada por pimera vez en la piel de 'M', se quedó sumar el que habría sido el séptimo premio en el marcador particular de la veterana actriz británica.
Con dos Baftas ya en su alforjas como mejor secundario, Javier Bardem perdió su duelo personal con Christoph Waltz, el dentista de 'Django', que también conquistó el premio la mejor guión, recogido por un 'desencadenado' Tarantino.

It gets hot under those lights. Here's Bradley Cooper - sweating a bit like a normal person - and Ben Affleck, freakishly dry. They're presenting outstanding British film. Affleck has it all - the award momentum, a best picture nomination, a sharp suit - but he doesn't have sweat glands. Poor love.

And here's the best original screenplay winner. He thanked his actors, Bafta and Harvey Weinstein for taking on a "hot potato" script. Luckily QT didn't add any cheese Photograph: Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu/Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu

Ben Affleck won best director for Argo. He seemed genuinely pleased to be rewarded, coming across all affable motor-mouth. He thanked everybody - the wife, the kids, the industry, fate, love and providence. He seemed like he couldn't stop talking. Must be an ...[wait for it] Affleck-tation. [Thank you. Thank you.] Photograph: Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu/Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu
This isn't Emmanuelle Riva. But it should be.She won the Bafta for best actress for her performance in Amour Riva couldn't be at the ceremony, but presenter Jeremy Renner (pictured) said he would "make sure the Bafta got to her". We're not sure how. Perhaps he'll hand it over the next time they go out and sink a few together? Photograph: Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu/Stephen Butler/BAFTA / Rex Featu
Daniel Day-Lewis won the best actor Bafta (surprise surprise) and used his speech to make jokes. We're not kidding. We're normally snarky about DD-L's intensity, but tonight he turned it on us. "I've been working on reacting to winning this award for 55 years. I've had Bafta ceremony sets built in every house I've lived in".

And then - as Sir Alan Parker grabbed the lifetime achievement Bafta from Kevin Spacey - it was all over. Parker - the veteran director of Bugsy Malone, Fame, The Commitments and Midnight Express - gave a tender and heartfelt speech. "It's been wonderful," said Fry.
