Alfonso Cuaron's lyrical Roma has been named best picture at the British Academy Film Awards.
It bested The Favourite, which bookies had favored to win the top prize at Britain's equivalent of the Oscars.
Cuaron thanked Netflix for backing "a black and white film about a domestic worker" that is not in English.
Cuaron was also named best director at Sunday night's awards ceremony in London, where "Roma" took four trophies in all.
