I love how random the BAFTAs usually are. They seem to have decided to celebrate James Bond's fiftieth anniversary by inviting Tom Jones but not by having say Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig present Best Picture...
Daniel Radcliffe looked so happy to be there! He kept doing huge smiles as if he was auditioning for Broadway again.
I was shocked to see Kristen Wiig presenting because she was so brilliant last night on SNL that one would think she'd need a few days to recover and charge her brilliant batteries. In my mind she and Jean Dujardin (who was stunningly awesome on SNL too) flew together and she went through her Bridesmaids airplane skit. Or maybe just maybe she kept her 20's flapper dress and traveled via Dujardin's favored way of transportation:
Sigh.
Oh you magnificent creature...
The BAFTAs always offer the strangest combinations. Why would Christina Ricci and Jeremy Irvine be together? Also, what was up with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Billy Bob Thornton being there?
I have nothing against the movie and contrary to what its director would think, I knew it had a screenplay.
What I don't get is how it would win for originality when it's such a rehash of so many movies? The clip they played for this category even featured the Vertigo score!
This man's voice! For a minute he made me wish the BAFTAs turned into Dogville and Nicole Kidman showing up to kick everyone's asses...
Chris O'Dowd is just the cutest.
Senna not only won Best Documentary, it also upset The Artist taking Best Editing. Really people. if you have not seen this movie, run and find it now.
Joan knows better...
(I love that they played "All the Lovers" when she presented an award)
Meryl Streep makes winning awards both pleasurable and award-worthy within itself. When she left her shoe on the stairs going up to receive her Best Actress award, not only did she create her own headlines about being Cinderella and loosing at the balls for more than 30 years now, she also made me wonder if this was all planned. She is known for her perfect technical prowess.
She even made me love that Colin Firth was there, even if it should be Jesse Eisenberg handing her out awards.
All bow to Queen Meryl!
Yay Pe!
Pe handing out Best Actor justifies Natalie Portman not being there. I feel like she's been out of the spotlight for too long...a bit over a year fine, but let me be!
Just give this man his Oscar already. I don't get how anyone would have anything bad to say about him, he's so charming and gorgeous and unlike Clooney and Pitt, he does act in his movie. He doesn't play himself...
Why can't the Oscars come up with interesting presenters for Best Picture?
Is it me or does Bérénice Bejo look like she could've given birth to Emma Stone?
Did you enjoy the BAFTAs?

Oh, Helena looks adorable. Did she do anything kooky when she presented? Did she ramble? Ugh, that woman is everything (that expression is so Lucy from A ROOM WITH A VIEW.)
