Alicia Vikander has had a great year on film with releases like The Danish Girl, Seventh Son and my favourite Man from U.N.C.L.E. But tonight Alicia was in attendance for Ex Machina which scooped a total of four awards including Best British Independent Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay went to Ex Machina‘s Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Dredd 3D) and Outstanding Achievement in Visual Effects going to Andrew Whitehurst.

Marion Cotillard was in attendance to support her nomination in Macbeth, looking moody and slightly goth on the red carpet. Love it!

A One Take Kate favourite Kate Winslet was the recipient of the Variety Award which recognizes a director, actor, writer or producer who has made a global impact and helped to focus the international spotlight on the UK, presented to her by Stanley Tucci (Hunger Games). Kate’s classic look on the night suited her illustrious and credible career.

In attendance on the night in support of his Best Supporting Actor nomination for Brooklyn, Domhnall Gleeson (Unbroken) actually ended up accepting the award, not for his performance, but instead for his Dad Brendan Gleeson‘s (Harry Potter, In The Heart Of The Sea) winning performance in Suffragette! Pictured here with Alicia Vikander.

Imagine being up for the same accolade as your dear ol’ Pop!
