London, Feb 20 : The German anti-war epic film "All Quiet On The Western Front" continues to amass trophies at the BAFTA Awards.

Actor Richard E. Grant was a suave and self-deprecating host — with support from TV presenter Alison Hammond — for the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall, where the U.K’s movie academy heralded its strides to become more diverse but said there was more to be done. Grant joked in his opening monologue about the infamous altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars. “Nobody on my watch gets slapped tonight,” he said. “Except on the back.”
