The EE British Academy Film Awards (the BAFTAs) held their film awards over in the UK tonight. Let’s run down the red carpet.
The road to the Oscars is paved with many awards shows. The final bellwether of the awards season ahead of the big O is actually not actually held in this country at all, but five hours away on the globe in the United Kingdom. The EE British Academy Film Awards (shorthanded to the BAFTAs) is actually a twofold event, since they, like the Golden Globes, recognize both television and film. Unlike the Golden Globes though, they hold each award show separately.
Tonight, the Film half of the awards are being given out over there, which means that the creme de la creme of the BBC who crossed the line into movies (or at least high end television stardom) are on hand, along with the smattering of Americans they saw fit to nominate as well. The question is, how did they fare on the red carpet?
From the best of the looks, to the most unfortunate of the sartorial decisions, we’ve rounded up the highlights of this year’s red carpet for your judging pleasure. Let us dive in.
