Academy Fellowship - Sir Christopher Lee
Despite a slightly odd opening dance sequence, the Baftas were a very enjoyable couple of hours on BBC 1 last night. Jonathan Ross was funny as always, very well received and even his sarcasm went down well (despite the bad hair / facial hair!).
All of the acceptance speeches were very heartfelt and heart warming particularly Helena Bonham Carter who was as endearing and funny as always, I didn’t think it was at all too long! Colin Firth was modest as ever and Christopher Lee brought more than few tears to my eyes. It was a really lovely moment when he accepted his Academy Fellowship as well as the honour the Harry Potter series has received (I agree with Stephen Fry, franchise is an awful word!)
I was disappointed with how many winners were unable to attend the ceremony. In particular David Fincher whom I was incredibly pleased won Best Director and would have loved to see how he reacted. Geoffrey Rush was a much deserved winner of Best Supporting Actor also not there and Tom Hardy, particularly as all of the other nominees for the Rising Star Award were in attendance. Natalie Portman is forgiven however considering she is heavily pregnant!
Emma Watson looked stunning as always and definitely gets my vote for best dressed.
My favourite moment has to be without doubt when The Kings Speech won Best Film. The woop from the cast and crew proves just how much it means to them and many of their thanks went to the UK Film Council, proving how much it will be missed.
