Loach, director of "I, Daniel Blake" which deals with the

struggles of living in the UK benefits system, condemned the government in his acceptance speech.

He apologised for making a political speech so early on, but said: "Thank you to the academy for endorsing the truths of what the film says, which hundreds and thousands of people in this country know.

"The most vulnerable and poorest are treated by the government with a callous brutality that is disgraceful, a brutality that extends to keeping out refugee children we promised to help and that's a disgrace too." After Golden Globes, Davis once again paid tribute to her late father, who worked as a janitor and horse groomer, in her speech.

"When he took his last breath, one of the most devastating things that went through my mind is: Did his life matter?" she said.

"August (Wilson) answers that question so brilliantly, because what he did is he said that our lives mattered as African-Americans."

'Spider Man' star Tom Holland won the EE Rising Star award, the only trophy at Baftas that is voted for by public.
