The German epic film 'All Quiet on the Western Front' dominated the BAFTA Awards in London on Sunday night with a record-breaking seven wins, including for Best Director, Best Film and Best Film Not in the English Language.
The tally means the World War 1 epic now holds the record for a film not in the English language. The previous record was held by 1988 film "Cinema Paradiso", which won five BAFTAs, reports 'Variety'.

Meanwhile, Colin Farrell-starrer "The Banshees Of Inisherin" won the second most awards of the night, including both supporting actor categories with wins for Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon, who emerged as the correct winner after fellow nominee Carey Mulligan's name was initially called in error. Writer and director Martin Mcdonagh also won for Original Screenplay and Outstanding British Film.

The ceremony was hosted by "Loki" actor Richard E. Grant, who arrived in a Batmobile wearing a floor-length white cape with a train. As he took to the stage, pretending to run late, he quipped: "What could be more British than a delayed train?"
He also joked, in reference to last year's now infamous Oscars slap, "Nobody on my watch gets slapped tonight -- except on the back."

BAFTA Chair Krishnendu Majumdar opened the ceremony by paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who died last September. Later in the ceremony, Helen Mirren -- who played the monarch in 'The Queen' -- also delivered a two-minute tribute.
As per 'Variety', Queen Elizabeth II's grandson Prince William and his wife, the Princess of Wales, were in the audience at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday evening. The prince is President of BAFTA, an honorary role.
