Cate Blanchett continued her awards season dominance at the BAFTA Film Awards in London Sunday night, and dedicated her Best Actress win to her friend and Talented Mr. Ripley co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman.

"I would like to dedicate this to an actor who has been a continual, profound touchstone for me, a monumental presence who is now so sadly in absence — the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman," the Blue Jasmine star said as she accepted her award. "Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. Hope you're proud."

Supporting Actor and Actress awards went to Captain PhillipsBarkhad Abdi and American Hustle's Jennifer Lawrence, respectively.
