Daddy's girls: Jaime and Lois Winstone upstage dad Ray at film awards

Jaime and Lois Winstone took centre-stage on the red carpet at last night's British Independent Film Awards.

And with both making a name for themselves in what's become the family business, it clearly won't be long before it will be their names, and not actor father Ray's up in lights.

Winstone senior took home the Richard Harris award for outstanding contribution to British film at the star-studded ceremony attended by Dame Juid Dench, Joely Richardson, Billy Eliot star Jamie Bell and Bond star Daniel Craig.

But as the Beowulf star attended the ceremony with his family, including wife of 28 years Elaine, it's clear that the veteran actor has been rewarded in both his personal and professional life.

However, the East End actor who made his name as a film hardman in the classic Scum showed he's still a bad boy at heart as he flouted the law by smoking indoors.

A source said: "I could smell smoke, and was surprised to turn around and see Ray crouching down, trying to hide a cigarette. He didn't fool anyone." Funnily enough, no one tried to confront him.

Ray and his family were all at the event, which took place at The Roundhouse, in Camden, London, and Jaime brought along actor boyfriend Alfie Allen, a member of another talented showbiz tribe which includes singer sister Lily and his actor father Keith Allen.

Apart from Ray's much-deserved award, last night belonged to the small-budget British film about Joy Division singer Ian Curtis which continues to scoop a host of awards.

Control, which was made for just £3 million and stars an unknown former warehouse worker in his first lead role, won five prizes at the Bifas.

The movie, which follows Curtis's tragic last years before he killed himself at the age of 23 on the eve of the band's first US tour, won Best British Independent Film.

Sam Riley, 27, who was plucked from obscurity to play the iconic singer, was named Most Promising Newcomer.

Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn also won Best Director for his first feature film.

Control, which he shot in black and white with a soundtrack including songs from New Order, David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, and Iggy Pop, also earned him the title of Best Debut Director.

Toby Kebbell, 25, who played Joy Division's manager and Factory Records partner Rob Gretton, won Best Supporting Actor.

The awards for Control threatened to overshadow some of the big-name winners of the night.

Daniel Craig was the recipient of The Variety Award, for putting British film under the international spotlight with his role as Bond, at the ceremony at London's Roundhouse.

Dame Judi Dench won Best Actress for her role as a history teacher in Notes on a Scandal while the film also took the Best Screenplay prize for Patrick Marber.
