BAFTA kept the Slumdog steamroller moving, leaving Benjamin Button to pick up the scraps. Slumdog picked up seven gongs, mostly in categories it was heavily tipped to win.
Button walked away with just three, none major. Righteous wins on the night include In Bruges (Original Screenplay) and Wall-E (Animated Film). Strong 'British' wins also came for Man On Wire and Hunger.
The two surprises of the night were I Loved You So Long scooping Best Foreign Film, and Penelope Cruz, winning Best Supporting Actress for VCB.
The really big loser on the night was Frost/Nixon: no wins.
