Waddingham also used Sign Language to welcome former Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who was nominated for best supporting Actress for As You Like It.
Mescal thanked his parents in his acceptance speech, and told his Mum, who has been undergoing cancer treatment: " I hope you get better soon. "
He won for playing The toxic Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar, and was Oscar-nominated for playing The troubled Calum in Aftersun, after getting much critical acclaim for playing sensitive Connell in TV drama Normal People .
The Actor told The Bbc afterwards that when he chooses a role, he is " interested in exploring The Myriad of different versions of what masculinity is".
" I think creative death for me would be for people to predict what I'm doing next, " he added. " I Don 't want that. So hopefully I'll keep it moving in a direction that surprises people. "
In a One -woman Show , Comer plays a barrister specialising in defending people accused of sexual assault, who questions The System after being date-raped.
She Said in her acceptance speech: " To any kids who haven't been to drama school, who can't afford to go, have been Rejected - Don 't let anyone tell you it's impossible. "
The Actress told The Bbc afterwards she was " actually quite embarrassed" she had not " questioned" how The legal system operates before.
Comer researched The Role by sitting in on cases at The Old Bailey, and speaking to barristers, judges and police offers who were " very honest" about how they had to " put aside their own feelings as A Woman , to commit to The Job that they do".
Beverley Knight did two performances during The Ceremony - One for Sylvia, and The Other for Sister Act - and said as she accepted her Award : " Just over 100 years ago, Emmeline Pankhurst stood on this Stage and said,' I incite this meeting to rebellion'.
" She told each of The Women in The Room , 'be militant in your own way'. The Next year they banned The Women 's Social and Political Union.
" One hundred later we're stood on this Stage - we have reclaimed The Power for those women. "
