Moore added the Bafta to her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards as there was no surprises in the Best Actress category last night.

Moore saw off tough competition from Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Amy Adams (Big Eyes), and Reese Witherspoon (Wild), for her portrayal of a woman with early on-set Alzheimer's.

Collecting her award on stage from Chris Evans and Henry Cavill, the actress said: "Thank you for including me among these beautiful performances both British Felicity, Rosamund and American Amy and Reese I'm honoured to be honoured with you tonight.

"Film is a collaborative medium, there's no way you can give a performance by yourself and the thing I value most about my job is the creative partnership with others. Mostly our filmmakers who made such a beautiful movie about our essential self.

"To the five Scottish women who poured love into me My great-aunts May, Mary and Cissy, my grandmother Flora and my mother Anne this is for you."

Still Alice is based on the novel of the same name by Lisa Genova and sees Moore team up with directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. The movie also sees Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth, and Hunter Parrish on the cast list.

Since the beginning of the awards season, Moore has been the favourite to scoop the Best Actress Oscar - now, with the Golden Globe, Bafta and SAG Award under her belt, she looks a certainty.

Moore has been nominated on four previous occasions for an Oscar - twice as Best Actress and twice for Best Supporting Actress - but has failed to take home the award.
