Dame Helen returned as a presenter a year after being honoured for playing the Queen in The Audience to see Gillian Anderson named best actress for A Streetcar Named Desire.

Helen McCrory and Billie Piper, who were nominated in the best actress category, posed with husbands Damian Lewis and Laurence Fox, while masters of ceremonies Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan took a laidback approach.
