Thoughts on BAFTAs

  • The dresses were pretty nightmarish. I don't know who dresses Marion Cotillard but she should fire that person as soon as possible. Chastain looked like she was wearing blue tape and Gemma Arterton....oh my God. Luckily there is always Amy Adams who as usual looked beautiful.
  • Stephen Fry is hilarious and he is the classiest award show host. The stuff he says about the nominees is always so lovey and elaborate, there were times when I don't think people present even caught all of the compliments.
  • Ladies and Gentleman. And Stephen.
    I’m overcome with joy.  I’m awash with bliss... at the very thought of presenting an unsuspecting stranger with a deathmask on a stick.
  • Billy Connolly was definitely the funniest presenter - "Ladies and gentlemen...and Stephen". That was hysterical. Ian McKellen presented the award for best director which was also awesome.
  • Jennifer Lawrence and Christoph Waltz
  • I loved Stephen Fry's hilarious jokes throughout the show - the suggestion that Helena Bonham Carter is always drunk and continuous stabs at Warner Brothers for making as many The Hobbit movies as they possibly can.
  • Sally Field presenting the award was better than her performance in Lincoln. Apparently Eddie Redmayne was supposed to present with her but he was vomiting back stage (food poisoning). She presented best original screenplay to Quentin Tarantino and Jennifer Lawrence presented best supporting actor which went to Christoph Waltz. If he wins his second Oscar this year I will be stunned and delighted.
  • George Clooney and Anne Hathaway
  • Anne Hathaway looked as she was about to mentally collapse during her speech. In fact she might have done that already, because she grabbed the award and went straight to the microphone, just to turn around and hug George Clooney. How the fuck can you walk right past George Clooney on stage is beyond me. Had I been there I would probably launch myself at him and forgot the award in the end. btw Clooney looked GOOD. Oh my God.
  • Bradley Cooper tearing up
  • There were so many tears - Bradley Cooper cried when David O.Russel won for Best Screenplay and Jennifer Garner kept on crying for few minutes after Ben Affleck won for Argo. The dude who accepted the award for Argo with Clooney and Affleck had a wife in the audience, that woman was in hysterics.
  • Martin Freeman is lovely but I don't think any man on Earth would like to present an award with Henry Cavill - you have to stand next to him. If I was an actress and they told me I have to present with Charlize Theron for example, there is no way in hell I would do that.
  • Juno Temple won Rising Star award which is cool - she is great and her speech was adorable, her hands were shaking so much. But how did she beat Andrea Riseborough? Well, apparently the audience votes so maybe that was the reason. It just would be so great to see Riseborough win something at last.
  • The best actress category was the most hilarious part for two reasons. First - they showed Chastain yelling like a moron for her clip, second - Emmanuelle Riva won and Chastain, Lawrence and O.Russel's reactions were priceless. Lawrence looked pissed, Chastain smiled only when she noticed the camera was showing her and O.Russel...Oh God, just look at the picture:
  • Why was HorseFace Sarah Jessica Parker presenting Best Actor? And why was she sitting in the front row? I felt so bad for Daniel Day Lewis. His speech was actually really funny and sweet.
  • Joaquin Phoenix was there - I swear on every single ceremony he looks more and more like Satan.
  • Alan Parker got fellowship award from the hands of Kevin Spacey, who starred in his The Life of David Gale - truly great and underrated movie so see it if you haven't already. He also made Angel Heart which I adore.
  • Samuel L. Jackson was hilarious presenting the best picture, which went to Argo, which I think is now destined to win Best Picture at Oscars in less than two weeks.
  • Amy Adams shining on red carpet, Fassy and Harvey Weinstein chatting backstage
  • Harvey Weinstein was present for the first time ever on BAFTAs giving moral support to Silver Linings Playbook and quite possibly completing the duty of grabbing Phoenix and flying him there. Backstage he was seen chatting with Michael Fassbender so hopefully there will be some big award campaign for Fass next year.
