Here is the complete list of winner.

While Uggie the dog didn’t patter away with anything Michel Hazanavicius’s charming paean to the age of silent cinema took home three of the top awards at tonight’s ceremony.
Hazanavicius won for Best Director, his star Jean Dujardin was awarded the Best Actor prize and the London critics placed The Artist at the top of the Best Films of 2011 list.
There was a nicely timed triumph for Olvia Colman as she won the British Actress of the year for her work in The Iron Lady and, more imporantly (BAFTA – what were you thinking?) for her role in Paddy Considine’s mighty Tyrannosaur.
Asif Kapadia’s Senna was celebrated as the Best Documentary of the year and in a first for the Awards, a tie voe led to Anna Paquin and Meryl Streep sharing the Best Actresses of the year, no small triumph for #teammargaret

The Oscar nominations won’t hit us until Tuesday morning, but, by this point, 2011′s awards season has provided the same few winners enough times over, to the point where we can make a good guess with our eyes closed. Just look at the list of victorious pictures for this year’s London Film Critics’ Circle and tell me it doesn’t all feel so familiar. (I can’t wait for everyone to forget The Artist by September, by the way.)
If there’s any truly unexpected choice to be found here, it’s in the Best Actress category, where Anna Paquin‘s work in Margaret ended up netting her a tie with the Oscar frontrunner, Meryl Streep. This doesn’t mean she’ll take a seat at the Kodak Theatre on February 26th, mind you, but it’s been remarkable to see this once-doomed movie rise from its own...
