Christopher Nolan's film won best film cast, while Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr won individual acting prizes.

Accepting the top prize on behalf of the cast, Sir Kenneth Branagh said they were all "grateful, humbled and proud".

The evening was peppered with remarks about the actors' strike, which brought Hollywood to a standstill last year.

Paying tribute to the US actors' union, Sir Kenneth said: "Thank you for fighting for us, thank you for every Sag-Aftra member whose support and whose sacrifice allows us to be standing here better than we were before."
