Kiwi costume designer Kate Hawley is flying home with a BAFTA, following her win at the Awards yesterday for her work on Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. Earlier this month she spoke to Nine to Noon about her success this awards season - she's also up for an Oscar next month for her work on the same film. In January she took Best Costume Design at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards and since we spoke to her she's also won an award for Excellence in Period Film from the Costume Designers Guild.
The BAFTAs represent the biggest night on the British film calendar and are often a marker for success at the Oscars. Kate joins Kathryn from Heathrow.
