American Hustle has won its third Bafta of the evening, for best original screenplay, written by David O Russell and Eric Warren Singer. Russell celebrated his actors in his acceptance speech, saying: "They make me write better and do everything better, because of their humanity."

Meanwhile, the adapted screenplay award was won by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope for their work on Philomena, which Coogan also produced and co-starred in. Coogan thanked Martin Sixsmith (the journalist he portrayed in the film), Philomena Lee (whose story the film is based on) and he highlighted "the 60,000 other women" who are still, like Philomena before them, searching for children given up for adoption by Irish convents.

After mistaking his producer for theatre impresario Cameron Mackintosh, Coogan heralded "his dream cast choice and someone I've fallen in love with, Dame Judi Dench", who played the title role.
