The awards ceremony is currently live streamed and you can watch it here! Winners are being updated as announced. Have to admit that this year I'm very pleased with the results of 2015 BIFA as I was simply mesmerized with Ex Machina, the film that became the big winner of the evening as won the top award but also won Best Director, Best Screenplay and Outstanding Achievement in Craft. Unfortunately there was no award for magnificent Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina but then she was NOT nominated (LOL).
Awards ceremony was entertaining and wonder if video was recorded; will check later if video works, but will be moved to end of post.
Winners are in *BLUE. To check winners at the official site go here.

Today Gemma Chan and Thomas Brodie-Sangster announced the nominations for this year's edition of the BIFA's and there are a total of twenty-eight (28) different British feature films nominated. Laurence Green, chairman of the BIFA Board, said, �BIFA�s committed voters watched over 260 films this year � more than ever. After thousands of hours of viewing, nearly 30 jury meetings and two rounds of voting, their nominations cover a breathtaking range of British films and filmmaking talent. With the support of the BFI, BIFA is delighted to be making it possible for the public to see these films before the winners are announced, bringing them to cinemas right across the UK and so giving audiences the chance to discover the very best of British film for themselves.�
The Lobster leads with 7 nominations closely followed by 45 Years and Macbeth with 6 nominations each; with 5 each Amy, Brooklyn and Ex Machina, and with 4 each High-Rise and Suffragette. There are five first-time performance nominees this year (Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtenay, Tom Hiddleston, Marion Cotillard and Luke Evans) and nine past winners: Tom Hardy, Brendan Gleeson Anne-Marie Duff, Olivia Colman, Michael Fassbender, Helena Bonham Carter, Julie Walters and Ben Whishaw, who was BIFA�s Most Promising Newcomer in 2001.
Have no doubt when I say that this year is a great year for Cinema as we are starting to see with the first nominations in the 2015-2016 Awards season some truly outstanding films; but for British Cinema 2015 was out-of-the-ordinary and the following nominations tell that most of the greatest British films come from the Independent side of the industry. Just take a look at the great films that are honored with a BIFA nomination and perhaps you'll agree. Then the Best Actress category is an example of great young and not so-young contemporary actresses; some of you can imagine how glad I'm to see BIFA honoring Marion Cotillard, Alicia Vikander, Carey Mulligan, Charlotte Rampling and Saorise Ronan as the first three are some of my very favorite actresses. The most noticeable snub is The Danish Girl in all categories except Best Actress where Alicia Vikander has the only nomination for the film. I just hope Oscars notices that Vikander has a Lead and not a Supporting role in film, but I know that Oscars Best Actress category is crowded this year, sigh.
As previously announced, 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, will be presented to Kate Winslet. To read about each film go here and use the Learn More link in each category.
The winners will be announced at The Mo�t British Independent Film Awards on Sunday 6 December at Old Billingsgate. The event will be live streamed on www.bifa.film.
