Guillermo Del Toro’s take on the classic tale Frankenstein, starring Jacob Elordi, swept the design categories, first taking home best production design. The ambitious gothic Netflix film featured an Arctic explorer ship frozen on the ice, and Frankenstein’s horror lab on top of a Victorian water tower.
It also won best hair and make-up and best costume design.
Its impressive prosthetics brought Frankenstein’s vision to life via Elordi, who had to spend up to 10 hours a day in the make-up chair.
Other technical category winners were F1, the Formula One film starring Brad Pitt, which was up for three awards, winning one for best sound.
Best special effects went to James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar: Fire and Ash, replicating its win in the same category for the original movie in the hit franchise back in 2010.
Best documentary went to BBC Storyville’s Mr Nobody Against Putin, an expose of what is happening in modern-day Russian schools, filmed covertly.
Director David Borenstein thanked his co-director Pasha Talankin for his bravery in “sacrificing his entire life” to smuggle footage out of Russia.
Other award winners included Indian movie Boong, which took the best children’s and family prize, presented by everyone’s favourite bear, Paddington.
Best animated film went to the hit sequel, Zootropolis 2, which recently became Hollywood’s highest-grossing animated film of all time, after taking $1.7bn (£1.3bn) at the box office globally.
It was a disappointing night for Marty Supreme, the table tennis caper starring Chalamet. It had 11 nominations but came away empty-handed, external – a feat only matched at the Baftas by Ken Russell’s 1969 film Women in Love and 2004’s Finding Neverland.
