Bafta ramblings

They tell me the Grammys are on as well, but the BAFTAs have one thing that no other award ceremony has - Stephen Fry. He so funny. Not just funny, but witty too.

Christopher Walken got an award - I <3 the BAFTAs.
LOTR got all the technical awards.
The BAFTAs, the only awards where a foreign film could win best screenplay.
Still trying to figure out how Philip Glass won the best score award, even though his acceptance speech was lovely.

Discussing acceptance speeches - did anyone understand Pedro Almodovar further than the traditional war is bad?
Much with the feelings. Everyone was so heartfelt. Adrien Brody, the dude that wasn't Adrian Brody, Daniel Day Lewis, Pedro Almodovar, Cathrine Zeta Jones and Saul Zant especially.

On the subject of Saul Zant, I hope he's not planning on returning to America soon. He will however have a place in my heart (and hopefully the British film industry, even if we already have one cuddly producer (vive Lord Attenborough))

Dude, I spotted young Brad Dourif in the Saul Sant montage. He hasn't altered that much really. And I must watch and read One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

And Meryl Streep's speech, so funny. I can picture headlines though "Charlie Kaufman found brained by BAFTA award, film star Streep suspected"

I don't mind that the Pianist won. It makes up for it not winning anything at the Oscars. And if LOTR wasn't going to win, then that was the one that should.

Selma Hayek so should have won best actress.

BTW who was the chap standing on the immediate left of the LOTR producer who accepted the Orange award? I know who it wasn't. Virtual cookies to anyone who knows who it was.

Adrian Brody is a very good looking man, and I have been saying this since Summer of Sam. Ah that was the height of my film geekiness, which is slowly making a comeback.

Just remembered the problem with Sean Bean, he's from Yorkshire, and supports the wrong Sheffield team. Got to admire a man who said that if they ever let him play for Sheffield United he'd give up acting without a second thought.

And Serena McKellen indeed.

And that's it "I spank you all"

Dude, I think I just got dissed.

And I like it. Plus, she so obviously didn't read what I wrote. To fuck with her.

I was disbelieving in psychology, not saying that wife-beating is good. I spit on domestic abusers.

I was about this far from saying, not just cold, but frigid as hell.

Then there was this ( More of Rachel's psychology is the answer to everything blather. )

So I did reply.
