Tarantino and Affleck celebrate Bafta wins, as Day Lewis carries off Best Actor gong

Hollywood bad boy Quentin Tarantino was celebrating today after his controversial screenplay for the western 'Django Unchained' was awarded a Bafta.

The film about a freed slave intent on revenge has attracted criticism for its liberal use of racial insults and Tarantino thanked his backers for standing by what he described as “a hot potato” as he collected the Original Screenplay gong.
