Jamie Dornan and Rafe Spall came out to present the Outstanding British Debut award, with Stephen Fry hilariously referring to Dornan as "star of the S&M classic Fifty Shades of Grey" to scattered laughter from the audience.

Rafe started the back-and-forth by saying, "I think everyone in this room can identify with how hard it is trying to get your first break. Take Jamie, who came up the hard way. People just don't want to give extraordinarily good-looking people opportunities in this industry."

Dornan had a sassy reply up his sleeve, though: "Yeah, but look at Rafe here, his father is one of the most respected actors of his generation, so it was very hard for him to get seen for anything."

Spall ended with "Nightmare, couldn't get in the room". Classic.
