Boyhood has been named Best Film at the 68th EE British Academy Film Awards in London.
The Richard Linklater film received the award tonight (February 8) at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden during the annual ceremony, which was hosted by Stephen Fry.
Boyhood won out over competitors Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything.
Patricia Arquette, who previously won the Best Supporting Actress prize, told those in attendance when accepting the prize: "This award is such an honour. It really goes to our entire Boyhood family."
She added: "The heart of this film beats with the hearts of everyone who worked on it."
Actor Ellar Coltrane said that the decade-long production of Boyhood "didn't really feel like a movie, but rather a collaboration", adding that it was "really scary" to release something so close to his life.
