81 days to go - Danny Boyle, Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen share a joke backstage in 2009

2009 was a successful year for Danny Boyle. Not only was his film Slumdog Millionaire (2008) awarded seven BAFTAs, it also won eight Oscars, including Best Picture. 

Boyle was awarded his second BAFTA, after his debut Shallow Grave (1994) won Outstanding British Film in 1995. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen presented the Director award to Boyle, and Greg Williams took the photo of the trio as they spoke backstage. 

Boyle has since directed 127 Hours (2010) and Trance (2012), as well as the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony.
