Indian actor Adarsh Gourav, who was nominated in the Best Actor category for his role in "The White Tiger" lost to the legendary Anthony Hopkins.

The 83-year-old veteran Hopkins won for his role in "The Father", surprising many who had expected the late Chadwick Boseman to walk away with the honour in the category, for his role in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom".



The event saw performances by Liam Payne, who surprised fans by taking to the stage along with a CGI version of himself, thus making everyone see two of him. He performed his latest track "Midnight". Singer Celeste gave a performance of her track "Hear my voice".


Bollywood diva and global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas was among the presenters this year along with Sophie Cookson, Phoebe Dynevor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Hugh Grant, Richard E. Grant, Tom Hiddleston, Felicity Jones, Jonathan Pryce, Rose Byrne, Anna Kendrick and Renee Zellweger amongst others.
