Carey Mulligan, Anne-Marie Duff, Colin Firth and Christoph Waltz all picked up gongs at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards at London's Landmark Hotel last night.

Fish Tank was the big winner with four awards, and although Katie Jarvis wasn't there, plenty of other stars were in the UK ahead of Sunday's BAFTAs to collect their awards, including Quentin Tarantino and Michael Fassbender.
