The TV Bafta awards belonged to versatile star Olivia Colman after she picked up two awards for two very different roles.
The star won the supporting actress award for her role as the mother of a murdered son in Accused (Mo's Story) and picked up her second Bafta for female in a comedy for her role in Olympic satire Twenty Twelve.
Speaking backstage, Olivia said she was 'thinking there has been a mistake' after winning her second award.
EastEnders won the award for soap and continuing dram, while the Radio Times Audience Award, voted for by viewers, went to Game of Thrones.
Host Graham Norton introduced the show, formally known as the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards, from the Royal Festival Hall in London. The evening's first award - for best drama series - went to Last Tango in Halifax.
Sheridan Smith was named leading actress for her role in Mrs Biggs. The tearful star, who played the wife of Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs in the ITV show, said: "Is this a wind-up? Is this for real?" Meanwhile, the Bafta for leading actor went to Ben Whishaw for Richard II (The Hollow Crown).
The award for supporting actor went to Shakespearean veteran Simon Russell Beale for his performance as Falstaff in the BBC version of Henry IV Part 2.
Olympic satire Twenty Twelve won the sitcom award. The award for entertainment programme went to Norton's chatshow with the Irish comic accepting his own award before returning to hosting duties.
The award for reality and constructed factual show went Made in Chelsea, while the award for male in a comedy went to Steve Coogan for Welcome To The Places Of My Life.
There was a special award for sports presenter Claire Balding who hosted much of the Olympics coverage.
Monty Python star Terry Jones presented his co-star Michael Palin with the Bafta Fellowship.
