The 2013 EE British Academy Film Awards took place tonight in a rain-drenched London, but even the best efforts of Mother Nature couldn't dampen the spirits of Ben Affleck and the Argo team as they took Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing.

The biggest winner, numerically, was Les Miserables, which took four awards for Supporting Actress, Production Design, Sound and Make-Up & Hair. Skyfall took two awards with Outstanding British Film and Original Music, while Django Unchained took Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay.

Unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-Lewis took Best Actor for Lincoln with the night's most self-deprecating speech, poking fun at his own Method reputation, while in a more surprising turn Emmanuelle Riva took Best Actress for Amour, which also took Film Not In The English Language.

Life Of Pi took Cinematography and Special Visual Effects, and David O. Russell took Adapted Screenplay for Silver Linings Playbook. The Animation went to Brave.

Searching For Sugar Man won the Documentary prize, but the Outstanding Debut... award went to The Imposter's Bart Layton and Dimitri Doganis. The Short Film prize went to Swimmer and Short Animation went to The Making Of Longbird.

In other words, it was one of the most equitably-shared awards in years. Even though Argo won the biggest prizes, it by no means swept the board. You can read all about the ceremony and red carpet in our minute-by-minute account here, but this will go down as a year when BAFTA honoured everything from European auteurdom with Amour to high-tech dazzle with Life of Pi to the action of Bond in Skyfall. That a classy spy film won the prize, an American president took Leading Actor and an 85 year-old landed Leading Actress is a testament to the inclusiveness of the BAFTAs this year - and we think that's rather a good result.

We scour the interwebs for the coolest movie news and more so you don't have to ...

She's free as a bird and swinging single — let's just hope...

The fifth film in the Die Hard franchise, the confusingly named A Good Day To Die Hard, has been given a 12A rating by the British Board of Film Classification, even though it was classified as an R over in the US.

You can read the BBFC's guidance below, but be warned in advance that it contains the words "mild innuendo".

"The film contains four uses of strong language ('f**k') and a partial use of ‘motherf***er’, the end of which has been cut short so the implied strong language is not heard in full".

"Against a backdrop of explosions, car chases and the destruction of property, there are a number of scenes featuring shootings which occasionally show brief bullet impacts, but there is no focus on blood or injury. In scenes of hand-to-hand combat we see brief punches and kicks, impressionistic rifle butt blows and an implied, but unseen, neck break. Although there are some crunchy sound effects and incidental shots of the heroes with blood on their faces and clothes, no detail of injury is shown.

"A Good Day To Die Hard also includes scenes of gun threat to the head and several brief shots of knife-blades as the heroes prepare to defend themselves. There are also passing references to 'doing drugs' and some mild innuendo."

A few notes from our end. A partial use of motherfucker? If the word motherfucker is going to be used in a Die Hard movie, chances are it'll be said after the words "Sniff my cheese!" "Yippee-kay-yay" so expect that catchphrase to be more muted than previous instances. Also, as previously hinted at, "mild innuendo" sounds more Carry On than John McClane. Sad, but true.

A Good Day To Die Hard will motherf***er its way into cinemas on February 14.

What can't Spider-Man do? As it turns out, quite a lot, as he bumbles his way through defending citizens of Manhattan from purse snatchers, smokers, and Times Square mascots.

The trailer for the One Direction 3D documentary went live last night, and in the space of under 12 hours it's racked up two million hits. In other words, if you thought you could brush this kinda-sorta concert movie under the red carpet, think again: the world record-breaking kiddly-winks are come right atcha... in 3D.

Known by their fans as "AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII!" and by their mums as Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, the impossibly popular manufactured pop band -- as assembled by Simon Cowell on the seventh season of X-Factor in 2010 -- have a fanbase so gargantuan that the film's success is practically guaranteed.

Alas, anyone hoping the trailer would show the auteurial hand of the film's director, Morgan "Supersize Me" Spurlock, will have to re-evaluate their world view. The following 112 seconds are about as generic as you'd expect: all soft guitar plucking, behind-the-scenes antics and footage of the five adolescent-looking millionaires signing fans' memorabilia.

Oh, and lots of screaming. And phonecalls to mum.

A word of advice before you click play on the video above: make sure you don't accidentally click through to the actual YouTube page, as the comments underneath tend to be mainly in capitals and OMGS. Here's a taster for you: "AAH IM CRYING ALREADY I DONT KNOW IF I'LL BE ABLE TO STAND THE MOVIE." Well, quite.

If the stars align for Simon Cowell and his crew, hopefully 1D3D - as fans are already calling it - will make more than Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, which hauled in $100 million at the box office over in US. 

August 30 is the day the four horsemen 1D3D will arrive in cinemas.
