Bafta
The Best Actor nominee said that while this year’s awards ceremony is a celebration, it is impossible to ignore what is happening in Ukraine.
The stars were out in force and in their finest for the biggest night in the British film industry's calendar.
The Loose Women presenter suggested cancelling the event until peace is restored in Ukraine.
Mahershala Ali, Tessa Thompson and Stephen Graham are also among those nominated for top acting prizes.
And all before the 9pm watershed too.
There were also prizes for Diversity's Britain's Got Talent routine and Normal People's Paul Mescal.
The Black Lives Matter-inspired routine won the only award voted for by the public at this year’s ceremony.
There were some jaw-dropping looks on this year's Baftas red carpet.
Actor and director accepted the outstanding British contribution to cinema award earlier this month.
The late Paul Ritter has also received a posthumous nomination for Friday Night Dinner.
