Silent film The Artist has scooped the three big prizes at the London Film Critics' Circle awards.
The black-and-white picture won Film of the Year, Director of the Year and Actor of the Year at the ceremony, following on from its success at the Golden Globes.
It is also leading the Bafta awards, with 12 nominations.
The film's lead actor Jean Dujardin told Sky News on the red carpet that its success was partly down to the romantic story and his dog co-star Uggie.

"It's not just a silent movie, or black and white movie, it's a love story, a simple story and there's a cute dog and the audience love the cute dog," he said.
The actress of the year award was tied between Anna Paquin for her performance in Kenneth Lonergan's drama Margaret and Meryl Streep for her role as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.
The Iron Lady also saw Olivia Colman taking The Moet & Chandon Award: British Actress of the Year for her portrayal of Carol Thatcher in the biopic.
Michael Fassbender won the British Actor of the Year for his performances in Shame and his role as Carl Jung in A Dangerous Method.
Kenneth Branagh was named Supporting Actor of the Year for his turn as Laurence Olivier in My Week With Marilyn.
