Stars of big screen out for BAFTA

The stars of the screen have turned out at London's Royal Opera House for Britain's film awards.

Some of the biggest stars of the big screen are out in London for the British Film Awards, where Australia's Cate Blanchett is up for an award.

Fans have lined the red carpet to get a glimpse of celebrities including Amy Adams, Eddie Redmayne and Martin Scorsese.

The Baftas, or British Academy Film Awards, at London's Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, are being hosted by Stephen Fry with big name guests including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Gillian Anderson.

The star of The Fall and The X-Files posed for photographers in a vintage 1949 dress, while Luther star Ruth Wilson was dressed more for the chilly evening weather in a silver suit.

Another of the stars of hit film 12 Years A Slave, Lupita Nyong'o, posed for pictures on the red carpet in an emerald green Dior dress with matching shoes.

Also among the guests is the Prince William, who is presenting the Fellowship award to Dame Helen Mirren.

William, who is president of the academy, said the awards were "a wonderful way" to recognise the UK film industry.
