The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) turned out to be a surprise in case of the winners this year. "American Hustle" actress Jennifer Lawrence beat this season's favorite "12 Years a Slave" actress Lupita Nyong'o for the Best Supporting Actress Award while the Best Movie Award was too won by "12 Years a Slave" and not by "Gravity," "Wolf of Wall Street" or "American Hustle" as predicted by various critics earlier.

Another surprise winner of the evening was Barkhad Abdi from "Captain Phillips." Abdi beat out Bradley Cooper, Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon and Daniel Brühs to take home the Best Supporting Actor award.

The movie "Gravity" ended up the biggest winner at the BAFTA ceremony taking home six prestigious awards, including outstanding British film, original music, cinematography, sound and special visual effects award too.

"American Hustle" took home three BAFTA Awards including original screenplay for Eric Warren Singer and O. Russell, make up & hair, and Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Lawrence.

Cate Blanchett won the most celebrated award of the season - the Best Actress Award for her role in "Blue Jasmine" while Chiwetel Ejiofor won the Best Actor BAFTA for his role in " 12 Years a Slave."

"I want to start with Steve McQueen," an excited Ejiofor said during his acceptance speech. "This is yours, I know it, you know, but I'm going to keep it, that's the kind of guy I am," he added.
