The Broadchurch star beat Glenn Close, Lady Gaga, Melissa McCarthy and Viola Davis to win the leading actress prize for her turn as a cantankerous Queen Anne in the spiky period drama. The movie was also named outstanding British film, with Rachel Weisz taking the best-supporting-actress prize, beating her co-star Emma Stone in the category. The film had led the nominations ahead of the ceremony, with 12 nods. Taking to the stage after her name was called, Colman admitted, "I'm very shaky, sorry", and told the crowd she could not read her notes, before adding she thanked "all the producers, obvs." Addressing the other winners from The Favourite, she said: "We are having an amazing night aren't we?" Speaking about her co-stars Weisz and Stone, Colman said: "As far as I'm concerned all three of us are the same and should be the leads and it's weird we can't do that. "This is for all three of us. It's got my name on it but we can scratch on some other ones." The film also received accolades for its costume design, production design, make-up and hair, as well as for its original screenplay.All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
