Movie giants arrive to battle it out for Baftas

Updated

Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are making their way up the red carpet for the Baftas.

Among the first to arrive was Star Wars actor John Boyega, who is up for a Rising Star Award.

British star Eddie Redmayne, 34, will do battle with American heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio, 41, for the leading actor gong at the star-studded bash.

Redmayne is up for the honour for a second year in a row, this time for The Danish Girl, while DiCaprio will be hoping to continue his triumphant awards season tour for his role in The Revenant.

The event, formally known as the EE British Academy Film Awards, is hosted by Stephen Fry.
