The ceremony took place in London's Royal Opera House and was presented by Stephen Fry. We provide a wrap-up on Twitter's reaction below:
1. Twitter wasn't entirely impressed with Boyhood's Best Film win:
Boyhood was grueling to sit through. No wonder it's in the Oscar race.

Boyhood- amazing concept but it didn't blow me away. Great performances though.

What to Read Next
Disappointed in the #BAFTAs. Predictable, safe, boring choices all around. Why do so many people fall for #Boyhood's gimmick?
— Melissa (@BombayTalkies) February 8, 2015
Every time Boyhood wins an award, a really talented film-maker dies.
— Gareth Ellis (@ellishaha) February 8, 2015
Had no idea BOYHOOD was this long. Geesh! Nice performances & all but what was with all the hype? 12 years of watching folks grow, I guess

lol well if we're gonna give oscars out 4 mediocrity (*cough*boyhood*cough*) perhaps i'll have a better chance of winning one in the future

I will never understand all the hype around Boyhood for awards I thought it was pretty crap TBH #BAFTAs

2. Reaction was more favourable to Julianne Moore taking home the Best Actress gong for Still Alice:
Also v v pleased that Julianne Moore was best actress #BAFTAs for Still Alice - a seven-tissue movie for me. Out March in UK.
