Joaquin Phoenix won the leading actor award and accepted one of three BAFTAS awards for Todd Phillips' Joker. In his acceptance speech, the actor criticized himself and BAFTAs for not being inclusive enough and lacking diversity. He was also quoted as saying " I think we send a clear message to the people of colour that you're not welcome here."

Renée Zellweger, who took home the award for leading actress for her film Judy won hearts for addressing all her nominees for their performances.  

'Isn't It Romantic' actress Rebel Wilson stole the show with her epic comic timing and hilarious punches.
