There's likely a lot of sore heads this morning at Media Molecule and Naughty Dog, but rightly so; the devs had much to celebrate as the two Sony studios walked away with multiple awards at last night's BAFTAs.

The UK-based awards crowned The Last of Us as Best Game and Best Action/Adventure, beating out GTAV on both accolades. Rockstar shouldn't feel too sore though, not only did their crime epic nab Best Multiplayer, but the company received the BAFTA Fellowship, with head Dan Houser making a rare appearance to accept.

It was a fairly even spread between the two titles after that - The Last of Us picked up Best Story and Best Performance, while GTAV also won Best British Game, Best Game Design and Audio Achievement.

Media Molecule's excellent PS Vita title Tearaway was rightly honoured in the best Artistic Achievement category, but it also picked up the Best Family and Handheld awards.
