In the clip above, you get to see Robert Pattinson, he of the upcoming Remember Me, arriving at the BAFTAs. Pattinson is only a presenter, but he may just as well have been the evening's top winner as far as fans were concerned. The Twilight Saga: New Moon wasn't even nominated for anything, but no matter. Colin Firth? Carey Mulligan? Andrea Arnold? Kathryn Bigelow? Jeff Bridges? Gabourey Sidibe? Neill Blomkamp? Lone Scherfig? It's Robert Pattinson they want. (I should add that Vanessa Redgrave is at the BAFTAs as well, with surviving daughter Joely Richardson.)
"It's taken me an awful lot of time to work out what I wanted to do with my life," Duncan Jones said upon accepting the award for best debut by a British filmmaker, producer, or screenwriter. "And I think I've finally found it." Duncan's sci-fi thriller Moon, starring Sam Rockwell, received loads of praise but failed to nab a single Oscar nomination. It didn't do all that great at the BAFTAs, either, with only two nominations. The other one is for Outstanding British Film.
"Supporting actor?" Christoph Waltz asked upon getting his Best Supporting Actor award from Anna Kendrick. Inglourious Basterds's vicious Colonel Landa shook his head and put things in perspective: "Supported actor." He then paid tribute to Quentin Tarantino: "No Quentin: no Inglourious Basterds. No Quentin: no Colonel Landa. No Quentin: no Christoph at the Baftas." He might have added: "No Quentin: no Christoph at the Oscars in two weeks."
Michael Giacchino's score for Up won for Achievement in Music, while Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is turning out to be the David that is giving a hell of a beating on Goliath. That's James Cameron's Avatar. The Hurt Locker has won three award: best editing, best cinematography, and best sound. Avatar has won one: best visual effects.
The best short films were Martina Amati's live action Do Air and Emma Lazenby and Sally Arthur's animated Mother of Many.
