Garfield was honoured at the ceremony for his performances in The Social Network and Never Let Me Go.
The 27-year-old beat Academy Award frontrunner Firth, who was nominated for The King's Speech, and Four Lions' Riz Ahmed.
Accepting his award in a filmed message, Garfield said: "I really, really appreciate it and intend to let this spur me and provide more fuel for my fire."
Kristin Scott Thomas picked up 'Best Actress' for her performance in the French film Leaving, while Peter Mullan's gritty coming-of-age drama NEDS was named 'Best Film'.
Other recipients at the ceremony included director Ben Wheatley, who scooped 'Best Newcomer' for Down Terrace, Gareth Edwards, who collected a technical achievement award for the low-budget Monsters, and Christopher Nolan, who was recognised with a special award for his contribution to cinema.
