Brady said: ‘I am humbled and very grateful, there is no such thing as best director, it’s like a joke.’ 

Receiving the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film for Conclave, director Edward Berger said: ‘It is a huge honour, outstanding British film, and I’m not even from here! I feel so welcome in your midst. We live in a time of crisis
for democracy. Institutions that used to bring us together are used to pull us apart.

‘Sometimes it is hard to keep the faith in that situation, but that’s why we make movies and that’s why we made this movie.’

As well as Mikey’s Best Actress award, the $6million Independent movie Anora, which beat blockbuster movies at the Critics Choice Awards last week, picked up Best Casting gong. 

Tearful Zoe Saldana accepted Best Supporting Actress award with a expletive-laden speech for her Mexican movie Emilia Perez.

The award-winning actress, 46, was quickly pulled off camera for swearing as she shouted ‘f***, f***, f***’ when the countdown hurried her.

Zoe was in floods of tears as she accepted the award, admitting it is ‘so validating and a true honour’ to be honoured an award after being previously told by dialect coaches ‘that her British accent wasn’t going to work’.
