Last night saw the Orange BAFTA Awards hit London’s Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and we were at every single bit of the event to bring you as much coverage as we could. Jon was live blogging the event live and you can see the fruits of his labour here, while Colin was on the red carpet getting snaps of the stars as they arrived. I was living it up while attending the awards themselves and the afterparty courtesy of Grey Goose. I’m currently writing this at 5.00am in the morning so I think my report can wait until tomorrow when I’m slightly more awake!
I wanted to bring you these video reports however created by Showbiz 411 for ITN which give you a nice well rounded look at the evening as well as Colin Firth’s acceptance speech for Best Actor in The King’s Speech. The movie won a total of seven awards including Best Film. The Social Network walked away with the Best Director award for David Fincher. Inception walked away with three technical prizes including best sound, production design, and special effects for the Christopher Nolan movie. Tom Hardy who also starred in Inception won the Orange Rising Star award which I personally thought was a great choice but all nominees had done some amazing work over recent.
Below is a round up of the red carpet with interviews from Emma Watson, J.K. Rowling, Amy Adams, Helena Bonham Carter and Darren Aronofsky, the director of Black Swan. We also have a round up of the awards themselves and Colin Firth’s acceptance speech for his award as Best Actor.
