Christopher Nolan is a director who has pondered important questions throughout his body of work, but had never won a Bafta for directing until Sunday’s ceremony.

The London-born filmmaker was previously nominated for a total of five Baftas for his dream-bending thriller Inception and Second World War epic Dunkirk.
