The pinnacle of the star-studded black-tie ceremony, hosted by comedian Robin Ince, was George Miller’s high-octane action extravaganza Mad Max: Fury Road that raced ahead of the competition, taking the awards for Film of the Year and Director of the Year. Many movies, television series, actors and actresses received awards, whereas in other award shows, they barely got any recognition.
