On working with Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel said, &nbsp;&quot;It was mindboggling to be sharing the screen with the one and only Nicole Kidman she&#39;s a real screen icon. She&#39;s been nothing but gracious, warm and welcoming. To watch her perform in those scenes is something I&#39;ll never forget.&quot;

Baftas 2017: Indian-origin actor Dev Patel wins best supporting actor for 'Lion'

Hollywood musical &quot;La La Land&quot; picked up five British Bafta film awards on Sunday, including best director and actress, paving the way for Oscar success later this month.

The dreamy tribute to the heyday of Hollywood musicals was named best film, while also picking up gongs for cinematography and original music, in the ceremony at London&#39;s Royal Albert Hall.

Accepting the award for best director -- beating off competition from the likes of Ken Loach and Tom Ford -- Damien Chazelle said it was an &quot;incredible honour&quot; and a pleasure to be there along with those behind the film.

Leading actress Emma Stone, who plays an aspiring actress in &quot;La La Land&quot;, took on a political tone in her acceptance speech.

&quot;In a time that is so divisive I think it&#39;s really special we were all able to come together tonight, thanks to Bafta, and to celebrate the positive,&quot; she said.

A throwback to Hollywood&#39;s Golden Age, &quot;La La Land&quot; took home seven Golden Globes in January and has been nominated for 14 Oscars.

The best actor Bafta award went to Casey Affleck, for his role in the drama &quot;Manchester By The Sea&quot;, beating Ryan Gosling who was nominated for &quot;La La Land&quot;.

Flying the flag for UK filmmaking was Ken Loach&#39;s &quot;I, Daniel Blake&quot;, which won the outstanding British film but lost out in four other categories.&nbsp;

Set in Newcastle, northeast England, the film tells of one man&#39;s battle against the bureaucracy of Britain&rsquo;s social welfare system.&nbsp;

Accepting the award for outstanding British film, 80-year-old Loach said filmmakers stand &quot;with the people&quot; and took aim at the government.

&quot;The most unvulnerable and poorest are treated by the government with a callous brutality that is disgraceful,&quot; he said.

Ahead of the awards ceremony, he urged the public to become active in politics.

&quot;You should know which side you&#39;re on and why and get in and take part in politics. There is no time now to sit on the fence,&quot; he told AFP.

The Hollywood musical picked up five awards, paving the way for Oscar success later this month

Hollywood musical "La La Land" picked up five British Bafta film awards on Sunday, including best director and actress, paving the way for Oscar success later this month. The dreamy tribute to the heyday of Hollywood musicals was named best film, while also picking up gongs for cinematography and original music, in the ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall. Accepting the award for best director -- beating off competition from the likes of Ken Loach and Tom Ford -- Damien Chazelle said it was an "incredible honour" and a pleasure to be there along with those behind the film. Leading actress Emma Stone, who plays an aspiring actress in "La La Land", took on a political tone in her acceptance speech. "In a time that is so divisive I think it's really special we were all able to come together tonight, thanks to Bafta, and to celebrate the positive," she said. A throwback to Hollywood's Golden Age, "La La Land" took home seven Golden Globes in January and has been nominated for 14 Oscars. The best actor Bafta award went to Casey Affleck, for his role in the drama "Manchester By The Sea", beating Ryan Gosling who was nominated for "La La Land". Flying the flag for UK filmmaking was Ken Loach's "I, Daniel Blake", which won the outstanding British film but lost out in four other categories. Set in Newcastle, northeast England, the film tells of one man's battle against the bureaucracy of Britain’s social welfare system. Accepting the award for outstanding British film, 80-year-old Loach said filmmakers stand "with the people" and took aim at the government. "The most unvulnerable and poorest are treated by the government with a callous brutality that is disgraceful," he said. Ahead of the awards ceremony, he urged the public to become active in politics. "You should know which side you're on and why and get in and take part in politics. There is no time now to sit on the fence," he told AFP.
