Fourteen-year-old rapper and actor Khalil Madovi was named best performer for his role as Josh Carter in 4 O'Clock Club, while the young stars of Friday Download were honoured in the entertainment category.
Two other teenagers beat hundreds of other youngsters around the country to pick up Baftas for computer game design.
