Tonight, the Royal Opera House plays host do some of the most

celebrated stars in cinema. He is is hugely thrilling for Main.

one of the nights in the business that is the pinnacle. The BAFTAs

are a great events. And the red carpet is where it starts, the fans.

Very passionate! To have people who love music -- movies this match,

the love the event, who want to see the people on screen, standing out

in the sleet and snow, it says a lot to me, it is really inspiring.

We are British, we can handle this! I feel bad for them standing in the

wet and cold. This is not bad weather, it is summer rain!

No-one does glamour like London. The biggest names in film. Who will

be taking home the much coveted BAFTA mask? Django Unchained was

probably my favourite. There are so many international nominees tonight.

I hope the British take it home! They are all good, that is why they

are here. A lot of Bond fans. expect me to say anything but

Django?! Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats for the 2013

British Academy Film Awards. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you, thank you. Good evening, my lords, ladies and gentlemen. Yes,

sorry about this, but I suspect that I'm not the only actor who's

come here tonight with a beard. It gives you great pleasure to welcome

me to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden for the EE British Academy

Film Awards. The EE British Academy Film Awards, I hear you scream! Now,

please, do not become hysterical, I assure you there is no need to

panic, you are in the right place, we have simply prefixed a new

prefix to our name for reasons. Allah loyal supporters have just

had a makeover, we hope the evening will be doubly good. That is the

kind of skill for, kidney rupturing hilarious word play you can expect

this evening, you lucky people! It is our philosophy here at BAFTA,

and I use that word quite wrongly... To focus not on self-congratulation,

but on admiration and celebration, so let's get on and be quite

unabashed about celebrating what has been based simply magnificent

year in film-making. I can honestly say, having presented these awards

on many occasions, I cannot remember a roster of films,

performances, scripts and productions that I have so admired

and more importantly enjoyed. We are bursting at the seams here

tonight with more panache, elan, radiance, joy, esprit, verve and

obsession than you'd find at a perfume counter. This has been the

year of the silent letter with Lincoln, Les Miserables and Django

Unchained all benefiting from wholly unnecessary alphabetic

incursions. Unlike the stars of those films, who are here tonight.

Not a wasted letter amongst their names, just listen to how they

resound, Daniel Day-Lewis, Samuel L Les Miserables, from the French

novel, featuring stand-out American and Australian performances is, of

course a British film! It was a remarkable experience, quite

astonishing, not least seeing Helena Bonham Carter burst in to

spontaneous song before she'd had a drink. I am joking, of course, she

was drunk every day on set! Banging the drum a little more, our very

own 007, James Bond, came up against his most formidable

adversary yet last year, a steely foe who sat at the head of a shady

operation hell-bent on world domination. Of course, as ever, he

emerged victorious when in the final scene he threw Her Majesty

out of the helicopter. Talking of old queens, oh, no, I promised the

BBCi would not do that one! 2012 was the year of the film franchise

With the likes of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a film I don't

mind telling you I played a small part in, though it remains in the

cutting room, thus making it for me, more of The Hobbit: A Wasted

Journey. In fact, I think my scenes will be shown next year in the

second Hobbit film. Or if they can squeeze, by which I mean of course,

lovingly craft another six films out of the slim volume Tolkien

wrote, expect to see me in The Hobbit 9: Are We Nearly Home Yet,

Gandalf? There was also Men In Black 3, The Twilight Saga:

Breaking Dawn Part 2, The Bourne Legacy and the latest in the Batman

series, The Dark Knight Rises, where the caped crusader works

tirelessly for the good of his beloved city. Interestingly, I

believe they based it on London's very own superhero, Boris Johnson,

though he doesn't keep his alter- ego as a millionaire quite as

hidden. Then there was the first in The Hunger Games trilogy, where

children are forced to fight to the death in a simulated arena, an idea

we were very keen on to determine tonight's winners, but Quentin

Tarantino was just a bit too keen on the idea. Most marvelously,

though, the young shining star of The Hunger Games, the mesmeric

Jennifer Lawrence, is with us tonight hoping to bag a BAFTA for

her simply sublime performance in Silver Linings Playbook. Now,

Jennifer, last year a certain Brad Pitt was here and did us the great

honour of blowing a kiss to our audience at home, a joyous moment

that I replay in my mind often and 18 times a day on YouTube. It is a

tradition we had started, and we would be delighted if you would

continue the contrition down the barrel of camera nine... Gone, blow

a kiss! Wonderfully kind! A nation's hunger has been sated! We

also welcome along one of my all time heroines Sally Field, star of

Lincoln and of course amongst so many other things, Forrest Gump's

mother. Just to be in the same room as her makes my heart beat a tiny

bit faster. Also here is the director of the incredible Life of

Pee, Ang Li. Hang on, went astray there somehow. He knows what I mean,

a brilliant film and director! Star of The Master, the masterful

Joaquin Phoenix is with us, he's hoping to join the BAFTA winners'

club and become a Baftologist, where he could reach Thetan level

and... I'm being told by the voice, I think it is Tom Cruise telling me

to stop! I will leave it there. Yes, a terrifically terrific year all

round, so let's take a trawl, and who better to take a look through

such a wonderful year in film with than the ravishingly brilliant

young British singer-songwriter who has penned hits aplenty, as well as

appearing in St Trinian's and The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus. To

take us through this year in film, who better than the radiant Paloma

outstanding British film presented in honour of Alexander Korda. As

this is the first award of the evening, the award genie granted us

three wishes. So, first I wished for eternal youth, which as you can

see, was indeed granted. And then I wished for two of the biggest, most

talented stars of the moment. And would you believe it? Those wishes

also came true. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the star

of Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper, and the director and star

of Argo, Ben Affleck. His home city is currently under three feet of

Skyfall was conceived 60 years ago when Ian Fleming wrote the first

James Bond novel. It was born 50 years ago when the first film was

produced. Since then, it has been nurtured by a whole host of

directors, actors, cast and crew. So today, James Bond is loved

throughout the world. It is on behalf of those film-makers that

Barbara and I accept this award. 1292 people worked on this movie

and I stand here on behalf of all of them. We all had very high

expectations for the film and I think it is fair to say that all of

them have been exceeded. This really is the icing on the cake.

Thank you very much, BAFTA. There are two people I want to say a

special thank you to. The person around whom we build this movie and

without whom the movie could not have happened, and that is of

course Daniel Craig. For his bravery and his brilliance and his

friendship and his sheer bloody- mindedness. And last but by no

means least, I want to say thank you to someone who is not here, the

great Ian Fleming. 60 years ago almost to the date, he sat down and

wrote that he was a secret agent and still alive thanks to the

detail of his profession. Here's to Although the Royal Opera House is

nothing like as glamorous as a car- park in Leicester, let's hope we

can unearth some royal bones here in what I hope will be confirmed as

the fabulous Eddie Redmayne, but he seems to be puking his guts out

well, we will know what it is and we are all doomed because this

thing spreads like mad. I am absolutely thrilled to be here and

And the BAFTA goes to... Oh, Thanks a lot. This is really nice.

Really cool. First I want to thank my actors for doing a banger out a

job with my dialogue. Thanks a lot, guys, I appreciate it. And I want

to thank BAFTA for giving me this. I think you guys are a terrific

organisation. I am famous for not joining organisations but having

said that, I am proud to be one of yours. And one last thing about the

script. I would also like to thank, in particular, Harvey and Amy

because this was a pretty hot potatoes script. For them to do it,

pony up a lot of money, do it in the right way, take that same

script and go out and make a hit, that is pretty impressive. Thanks a

Congratulations. Now, ladies and gentlemen, 5 Great films including

Django Unchained are in contention for the best film accolade. There

are five films, just five, in contention for best film. I could

tell you who has won now and save a lot of time and shiny envelopes.

Although times are hard, that is not how we roll around here. We are

very much going against the fabric of award shows and we would destroy

them for ever and then where we would be is... Don't answer that.

We will take a leisurely look at each of the five contenders for

best film and the first is the edge of your seat powerhouse Argo. It

could be my age, my hectic schedule, or my alcoholism, but when I heard

of this film, I fell foul of a misunderstanding. I was thrilled

when Argo turned out to be unnerved shred of the highest order.

morning and be in the movie business? I need you to make a fake

movie. You are going to be the big shot without doing anything? He yes.

I think we were able to get such great actors and that just reflects

on the story. I want to cement in people's minds that this is real

and it is happening. If I am making a fake movie it has to be a fake it.

This will be a first. We are putting them in harm's way and we

have to get them out. We don't say it is impossible. People have no

idea how hard it is to direct yourself and the other actors. When

I am on set, he does it with ease. What is great about Argo, although

it is steeped in espionage and bureaucracy at the highest level,

it is about the inexperience. you give me a break? I can't

breathe. It only takes one second for them to spot you. It is about

normal people facing fear. If they stay here, they will be taken,

probably not alive. There is heroism and patriotism and it is an

escape story. There is an explosive world event when people's lives are

hanging in the balance and the clock is ticking. We do not have

the go-ahead from the President. tried to make something

entertaining and funny and scary and thrilling. This is what I do. I

get people out. I have never loved A film about a script that is

actually written and is never made, as if! But will Argo make it past

the ferocious BAFTA Revolutionary Guard and take off with the price?

That's it is yet to be written, as are the scripts which tell us he

will win best director, actor and actress, not to mention best film.

The award for best supporting actor has now arrived, so to tell us who

has not written an acceptance speech in vain, a brilliant young

actor on such an upward trajectory, trajectory, she will soon be space

jumping with Felix Baumgartner, which is easier to say than

trajectory! Their performance that had us all salivating in The Hunger

Games, quite peckish over here, in Silver Linings Playbook she is

quite breathtaking, so please calculate wildly for Jennifer

Thank you. For a film to beef truly great, every role has to be filled

by the very best. The five actors nominated tonight almost certainly

that, let's take a closer look at the nominees for supporting actor.

I am at a slight disadvantage, in so far as I do not know what they

look like. But you do. Don't you? You want to set up a fake movie,

like to Hollywood, where everybody lies for a living, then sneak 007

into a country where they drink blood on their breakfast cereal.

What do you do? I too many, many things. I am a writer, a doctor, a

nuclear physicist, a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a

man. What violates natural law? I do not give a damn about what

they want. This is for the good of the people without caring much for

There is a first time for everything. What makes you think

And the BAFTA goes to... Christoph Thank you, thank you so much of

this immense honour. It is... Why I get to stand here is not a mystery,

because it says so at the very beginning of our movie, written and

directed by Quentin Tarantino. But of course I want to thank Jamie Fox

and Leonardo DiCaprio and Sam Jackson and Kerry Washington for

their camaraderie and help, and Harvey Weinstein, for the attention

and... I want to thank Adam Schweitzer for his support and

enthusiasm, Lisa Costello for making me shine. But it all starts

and ends with Quentin. And... Really, beyond everything that I

need and want to thank you for, Quentin, the thing that touches me

the most is your unconditional trust that I will put your creation

to its proper use. Use silver pens We now turn to outstanding debut by

a British writer, director or producer given in honour of the

great writer and producer Carl Foreman. He was the writer of the

immortal High Noon, a victim of the McCarthy era, he came to Britain,

and we hear were the winners in gaining Carl Foreman's talents as a

producer-director, and this award is named for him and all victims of

censorship and suppression. To tell us who has again failed to write

that acceptance speech in vain, Scotland's finest folk singer

hairstyle turned hobbit Corp. In fact, Scotland's only one of those,

For the most outstanding debut by a British writer, director or

producer, clearly this is an award for someone relatively new to the

industry, which kind of rules me out of it. But I might be in with a

chance if the Watt was outstanding swansong for an old fart. Looking

around the room, I might have some stiff competition. And the BAFTA...

imagined that this amazing journey was going to lead us to be in this

room, doing some shaky public speaking in front of so many of our

heroes! There are so many people we should thank for this. Poppy

Dickson, our co-producer, who is somewhere in the room. We sent her

to taxes enough search of a story that did not want to be found, and

without her we probably would not have the film. -- Texas. Wally

Thompson, Katherine Butler at FilmFour. Tabitha Jackson. They

believed that we could mount this documentary and tell it like a

thriller, rather than a traditional documentary, and they believed in

two first-timers. And obviously, Andrew, our editor, and my very

you so very much, thank you very Well, now it is time to consider

the next of the five nominees vying for the best film supremacy. And

the simply mind-blowing achievement that is Life Of Pi, we are looking

at now. Once again... Yeah, what a piece of work. My feeble mind let

me down, and first hearing of it, I assumed it to be the latest

with fruit filled pastries. I suppose we will have to wait for

the director's cuts. It is of course a magical tale featuring,

among others, that great Russian And it contains some really special

special effects that are so startling, so well judged that they

Life of by is the story of a 16- year-old boy who ends up on a

cinematic as it was in my mind, I thought it was completely on

filmable. You have to take those little symbols on the page and turn

them into a visual reality. Facing the big idea of the unknown, it is

a mental scope. Because of that, I thought I might need another

dimension, the new look of 3D, a I think there were a lot of

And the BAFTA is awarded to Life Of Wow. Thank you, BAFTA, this is

incredible. I am astounded by the other nominees city have this award

is truly spectacular. One of the central themes of Life Of Pi is

asking the audience to question what they think is real. That was

our job in visual effects, to ask the audience if the tiger and the

ocean were real. I guess if we are holding this, we did OK. I thank

you. I want to thank Elizabeth and built for persevering to make this

film for 10 years. And their director, Ang Lee. The work is

astounding and it was a dream job to work with you. Thank you so much.

For those of us that the visual effects, you mark us for our

science at times but we are artists and if you give us the opportunity

then we will make art with you. Now, tonight is amongst other

things a night of firsts. It's the first time Billy Connolly has kept

all of his clothes on in public. And Daniel Day-Lewis is speaking in

a British accent. But most remarkably of all, it is the very

first time this next actor has ever presented an award here at BAFTA.

the best film award is the enthralling Zero Dark Thirty. This

was billed as history's greatest manhunt for the world's most

dangerous man, so naturally I assumed it was the National Rifle

reluctant to see it because I had not seen 29th of the other an Zero

The movie takes you behind the scenes on the decade-long hunt that

led to finding the world's most dangerous man. I want to make

something absolutely clear. There is nobody else coming to the rescue,

it is just us. Nobody knows what it is like to disappear in the shadows

as a CIA operative in that part of the world. Why should I help you?

Why do you only call me when I need help? How about a Lamborghini? I

only need a phone number. But there are lots of people across the world

involved in the hunt and we could not capture every aspect. He has

you out but it is 100. It is going to happen? When? Tonight. The Zero

Dark Thirty means 20 minutes past midnight, which means wait until it

is dark enough and then come in. Quite literally history in the

making and the making of history. But will it complete its not-quite-

as-secret mission tonight and carry off the BAFTA? I have no idea, but

I'll stick my neck out and say it has a one in five chance. The award

for best film is one of the many delights still awaiting us. Others

include, but are not limited to, the awards for rising star,

documentary, actor, actress and of course the fellowship. All in good

time though. Or just time. So, in the pre-ordained order of things we

now come to adapted screenplay. To present this award we have found

ourselves a couple of real belters from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Representing the UK is an English King Midas who has worked his magic

on such as Star Trek and Mission Impossible. And representing the US

is an award-winning actress whose multi-talented talents have been on

display in the likes of Pearl Harbour and Juno. Please go "yee-

Thank you. I think I speak for both of us when I say how excited we are

to be presenting the award for adapted screenplay. You certainly

This is a wonderful year for film and for writers, and it is very

difficult to put all these films together. Our film is about emotion

and people, and this is for every family that faced those emotions,

those struggles, and millions do it every day. I want to think Jennifer

horse, you will know that I do not mean athletically. He was the

time, and with films like Trainspotting and Slumdog

modest man who shuns the limelight, even when his car is nicked from

his driveway. I am very proud to be here tonight to thrust another shy

genius into the spotlight on behalf of the British film industry. Their

incredible effort, determination and belief are why power industry

continues to thrive. She is a visionary, someone who was willing

to take a chance, take a risk and back a writer, director or producer

when others have turned them away. As head of film and drama at

FilmFour, she has passionately championed new talent and actively

sought out challenging and controversial projects that were

deemed too risky or unprofitable by the open market. What is more, time

and again, their uncanny instinct has been proven right, and these

projects have become huge worldwide successes. Many of us here tonight,

myself included would not be where we are today without her wise,

indefatigable, modest and, yes, capable of the odd mistimed tackle,

I can pay her no greater compliment than to say she really is the poor

skills of the British film industry. Let's take a look at some of her

work. -- Paul Scholes. Right, Mr Braithwaite, the sun will come out

Well, thank you, thank you so much. You will have seen those clips and

you will know jolly well that work is by a host of other people, an

army of other people and not me, not least this wonderful man, whom

I have had the most wonderful time working with. I would love to list

aims and do proper thank-yous, but the list is so long that I thought

she would not mind and you would forget me if I just said a huge

thank-you to the extraordinary writers and visionary directors,

the magical technicians and actors, the dogged producers that I have

had the huge privilege of working with. I have learnt something every

day and continue to do so, and in truth those wild, winding, Crazy

Jenny's, looking at Danny, have been the very best bit of the work

for me. -- Crazy journeys. I get to take this wonderful thing home to

put it on my mantelpiece. I have looked jealously at the team's

coming up, because I share this with my team at FilmFour, a group

of people who are truly exceptional and like a second family. They are

incredibly committed, they are clever, they are passionate and

patient, full of ingenuity, and they have huge integrity. They do a

huge amount with very little, and really the reason we can work this

built 30 years ago by some brilliant people, amongst them

David Rose and Jeremy Isaacs. The vision was very simple, and it was

this, to take the values of what was then a very new public service

channel, Channel 4, and those values were of taking risks, of

nurturing talent, of doing things differently, of challenging

preconceptions, and taking those values to the community in this

country, talented people who want to make feature films, and really

that is it. It is as simple as that, and that is the vision we have

today. As the world changes and our business changes at a rate of knots,

it seems those values are what cherishing and working with even

more than ever before. It really works like this, my team and I meet

somebody, somebody we have never met, somebody who has a story to

tell that we could not have imagined. A story that only that

person could have told, and our job is to support that person, to

protect their creativity above all else, to give them time and energy

and money. And there is no greater privilege than supporting people

like that. So thank you very much for this. It is wonderful to be

part of building a legacy that his film for, but in truth the thing

that matters most to me is that it should continue to do bigger and

braver things and that it should be a central part of the cultural life

for very many years. Thank you very For those of you keeping count, and

those of you that can't, we now come to the fourth film sweating it

out in the best film category, the epic, thought-provoking Lincoln. I

actually got an email inviting me to join this film, the call from

Spielberg has come at last, I thought. Sadly, though, on closer

inspection I had in fact been invited to join LinkedIn. A huge

disappointment that we all share, will you stop it, LinkedIn?! But

then I thought, who wants to be in a film about a small cathedral town

in the English countryside. So I bought the rights! Call me Susan in

Lincoln did not turn out to be a master work about a masterful

leader. As my dear old grandmother used to say, cop a load of this,

I have always been interested in telling the story of Abraham

Lincoln, one of the most compelling figures in American history and in

my life. Abolishing slavery by constitutional provision settles

choosing the last four months of the war, you get not only a

beginning, middle and end to an incredibly thrilling question of

whether the 13th Amendment is going to pass Congress... But you also

get Lincoln, you get his interior fighting with himself, you get the

people around him, people he trusts, and you get his political skills.

This gang of talentless six rejected the amendment 10 months

ago, we will lose. I like our chances now. In such a rich way,

through his intellect, his humour, his melancholy, we see someone

whose life is lived at one and the same time in that strange paradox

of public and private. I wanted to make a film that represented the

Times and mood of the nation, the mood of the individuals trying to

find the solutions. I wanted to feel there was a real sense of

authenticity on the set were the only real imposition would be the

camera. Lincoln is relevant to the present because his presidency, I

believe, offers the most vivid model of a leader, and I always

believe that trying to make sense of what actually happened in the

past always helps to shape our present, and that history is always

relevant in the sense that understanding how we got to where

we are well help figure out where we want to go from here. Congress

must never declare equal those who God created unequal! Slavery, sir,

A truly inspired work, but what does the more immediate future hold

for Lincoln? It doesn't have a reputation for doing well in

theatres, that this will change everything. We now come by both

Now, my radar has picked up very strong signals that the award for

documentary is close by, so let's get the presenters out here and

hope that it's correct. One of them has taken a leaf out of my book and

is about to be seen wearing his underpants over his trousers,

went to see Les Mis, I found the 3D effects to be quite remarkable,

stage. I assumed it would be in French and I managed to understand

80% of it! Feast your eyes on the spectacle, the wonderful, filmed

with the accent on the second From the very beginning, what

excited me about doing Les Miserables was doing it live. There

is something about what an actor does live on the day, that whether

you pre-record or post record, is never the same. Singing live is

daunting but what it gives you is freedom. When you are doing a love

scene as an actor you wish there was music to help you get there.

But now you can hear the piano and the music. What comes with this way

of working is the fragility of the voice, which matches with the

emotions of what a character is saying. Everybody felt that it was

breaking a lot of very new ground. You have got to find a language and

the language in this film comes right from the actives' hearts. --

the British version. Les Miserables has to feel real, immediate. There

is an emotional level to those that cannot be created in the studio.

So five awards remain, but not any five, just listen, director,

actress, actor, film and fellowship. They meatier bunch of awards you

could not wish for, and not a trace Macca -- a trace of horse in any of

them. The first to concern us is the award for director, named in

honour of David Lean, and to present it a towering, shining,

multi-award-winning, accolade receiving acting legend, ladies and

gentlemen, the Peerless Divinity, Stephen, good evening, ladies and

gentlemen. Of the many people who contribute to the making of a film

and its success, none works harder than the director. None has more

responsibility, in that the director affects the work of

everyone else working on the film, and that is why actors so often

want to share their best acting awards with the director, and why

the same is certainly true of awards for best film. And now the

people to thank that we will do on our own. I want to turn to Ben

in commercials and he asked his boss if his team could be given a

budget to continue the experiment in advertising. One guy held the

Oh, boy. Thank you. Thanks. God, this is incredibly flattering. When

it was first mooted that I might get this award, I thought about

what I might say. 10 years went by... So Russell Crowe has written

me a poem. It will only be cut out. When you are halfway through your

first film, you are certain that it is surely going to be your last.

Then you kind of blink, and 40 years have gone by. And then you

have made 14 films. It is quite a surprise, really. But you always

know you are going to get there. However hard it is on the movie, if

you squeeze your eyes together, you're always going to get to the

wrap party, even if you think not. When I was a little boy I was aged

about 10 and my junior school. We had been to see Jack plans and Jeff

Chandler in Sign of the pagan. I came back and I divided the entire

playground into Roman's and hands. Although I did not actually say

action, I did give the command for them to attack the Romans, who were

defended the outside toilets. The resultant bloodshed, which was

quite considerable, meant that I went before the headmaster. He said,

why, Parker? Why? If I had known then that I was going to get this I

could have really shut him up! I will be very brief. My mentor, the

great Fred Zimmerman, who used to critique each of my films, not

always kindly, said to me that it is a great privilege to be a

director. Don't waste it. Hopefully over the last 40 years, some of the

time I did not waste it. Thank you, Well, I don't know when I have had

more fun, certainly not without the use of a water-soluble lubricant.

Till everybody watching, thank you for supporting film. Keep going to

your local cinemas, keep talking and arguing about film. Some of you

watching will find your way to this stage one day. If you do, contrary

to popular belief, you will not find yourself in the company of a

bunch of bitches, self-obsessed, up themselves Prix Madonnas, well,

maybe one or two. You will be in the company of film-makers whose

overriding passion is to make a film that succeeds well enough to

allow them to make another one. What they will have in common is a

deep desire to tell stories, stories of today, yesterday and

tomorrow. Stories about you and me. This year they have done it as well

as it can be done. I congratulate everyone here and to those of you

out there, keep watching, get writing, start shooting you sure
