:00:20. > :00:28.This programme contains scenes of Hello! Welcome to the EE British
:00:28. > :00:33.Academy Film Awards red carpet show. I am Edith Bowman, we are outside
:00:33. > :00:37.the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden. I know what you're
:00:37. > :00:42.thinking, that is some incredible wheat intolerance she has got going
:00:42. > :00:47.on. No, a fact and heavily pregnant, but with the likes of Bradley
:00:47. > :00:57.Cooper, Hugh Jackman, all in attendance this evening, somebody
:00:57. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:34.has got to look for being a birth Now, I'm hoping to speak to as many
:01:34. > :01:37.of the stars and the red carpet as possible tonight. Also, we will
:01:38. > :01:41.take a look back at some of the most memorable and hilarious
:01:41. > :01:45.moments from the past 10 years of the awards, and we're going to
:01:45. > :01:50.start with some of our favourite winners, the most excitable, and
:01:50. > :02:00.one gentleman who did not even realise he had won. Peter Jackson
:02:00. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:20.Wow! I do want to thank all of the I have the e-mail in My Out box,
:02:20. > :02:24.telling him that I couldn't possibly do this, and I was about
:02:24. > :02:28.to send it when a man came through to repair my fridge. I would like
:02:28. > :02:38.to thank the fridge guy. I would like to thank my family, who live
:02:38. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:56.If you are watching, it is not about the winning! This is England!
:02:56. > :03:01.Sylvester Stallone? The third time I have been nominated, and the
:03:01. > :03:09.previous two teams I took on a regime, press-ups, sit-ups... That
:03:09. > :03:19.sort of thing, to get me in shape in case I won. This year I gave up!
:03:19. > :03:25.
:03:26. > :03:32.I just thought, I will go with the He gave me a second chance after
:03:32. > :03:36.BLEEP my career for 15 years! thought Jonathan was going to do
:03:36. > :03:40.all the BLEEP, did you? I under normal circumstances, I would be
:03:40. > :03:45.very excited about this, but sitting in front of me is one of
:03:45. > :03:55.the Beatles, so WiMAX that! That was a fabulous beach, that is all
:03:55. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:06.Your nominated for everything tonight, Ben Affleck! We are really
:04:07. > :04:12.lucky, it is a thrill. We were on the list for the Town, so I am
:04:12. > :04:18.really excited to be nominated. I have never been to the BAFTAs. This
:04:18. > :04:23.is my first time, I am really excited. You must be gutted it is
:04:23. > :04:31.raining! I heard the host is really funny. Have you met him? I hear he
:04:31. > :04:36.is very funny. He is so good. know you like your comedy. The last
:04:36. > :04:44.time we met you, you did a great Borat impression. Sometimes it is
:04:44. > :04:49.terrible! If you find it funny, that is a good start! You still get
:04:49. > :04:54.excited about being nominated? Did you phone somebody to tell them?
:04:54. > :04:57.was really elated. There is something about the way the
:04:57. > :05:02.Americans see the British, as being refined and having real taste, you
:05:02. > :05:06.know. Shakespeare was British, after all! I think there's
:05:06. > :05:09.something really special about these awards, I am sure it is not
:05:09. > :05:19.just Americans who feel this way, so finding out I was nominated was
:05:19. > :05:22.
:05:22. > :05:26.you have a little bit of paper Now, you do not have to win an
:05:26. > :05:30.award to get you noticed that one of these shows, you could snag your
:05:30. > :05:34.dress for end decade-long rumours about your sexuality, or you could
:05:35. > :05:44.be utterly hilarious or inappropriate whilst presenting an
:05:45. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:59.Alloa, everyone. Rusty! I get a little bit nervous presenting,
:05:59. > :06:06.rather awkward. It always looks fake. I was worried about it, so I
:06:06. > :06:13.wrote a little scene. OK. It is not a scene, I don't want to... You do
:06:13. > :06:23.not have to, you cannot improvise. I went, it is pretty good! Brave of
:06:23. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:49.them to give the stage to a couple Good one, Kirsten! Your hair is so
:06:49. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:56.Collaboration can be a wondrous thing. They are tired! I have not
:06:56. > :07:05.got a film out, I think I'm going to do another one about Truman
:07:05. > :07:14.Capote de, you cannot have too many, can you? Wow, pointless, I watch
:07:14. > :07:22.that at home! I am the founding member of the movie-star rock-star
:07:22. > :07:28.exchange programme. Tonight, Sir Ben Kingsley will be singing brown
:07:28. > :07:31.sugar at the Grammys. For many are visiting here tonight, short films
:07:31. > :07:36.were the keystones that helped bridge the gap between a dream and
:07:36. > :07:44.a career. Clearly I did not write this! I think it is important we
:07:44. > :07:48.acknowledge I have already been very funny. Myriad challenges
:07:48. > :07:51.arrive when attempting to adapt an already successful piece of
:07:51. > :08:00.literature into an equally successful film. Chief amongst
:08:00. > :08:05.these challenges is where you fit in all the fart jokes. Our five
:08:05. > :08:10.nominees live up to that challenge. You are presenting an award tonight.
:08:10. > :08:16.I do not know what award. Best documentary. Have you got a
:08:17. > :08:23.favourite? I thought West Of Memphis was very good, The Imposter.
:08:23. > :08:27.Marley, you are a big music fan. is a hero of mine. Searching For
:08:27. > :08:32.Sugar Man is very good, a very strong category for producers. One
:08:32. > :08:39.of the most exciting categories, genuinely. Do you know your are
:08:39. > :08:45.presenting with? Superman! Very exciting, yes. Superman and The
:08:45. > :08:50.Hobbit. Two civic heroes. Is it we are going up there? Do you know
:08:50. > :08:55.Henry? I have never met him. Do you have a couple of seconds to say
:08:55. > :09:01.hello? Yes, then back to our seats. Do you get involved of what you say,
:09:01. > :09:06.are you going to freestyle? I do not think I will freestyle, if you
:09:06. > :09:10.get a script through and you do not want to say it's, you can freestyle.
:09:10. > :09:14.So they do it to you in advance? Yes, just in case and endorsing
:09:14. > :09:19.Mitt Romney or something. Well, listen, good luck, I cannot wait to
:09:20. > :09:29.see if you do freestyle, it is great to see you, looking forward
:09:29. > :09:33.to part two. Now, it is inevitable, if you have
:09:33. > :09:37.a number of the world's sexiest people at an opera house, there
:09:37. > :09:41.will be flirting involved, I mean every time Ben Affleck and I are in
:09:41. > :09:47.the same building, it is inevitable! It happens every time.
:09:47. > :09:52.Here are some blatant examples of sexual tension over the last few
:09:52. > :09:57.years at the British Academy Film Awards. Once again, I am as excited
:09:57. > :10:03.as a given on heat to welcome you to this night of high drama, high-
:10:03. > :10:09.tension, high excitement that we, for legal reasons, call the Orange
:10:09. > :10:14.British Academy Film Awards. I do not get a kiss. It is a pleasure to
:10:14. > :10:24.be here at the film awards, although from behind that set it
:10:24. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:32.looks like... That is my kind of awards show, yeah? Kate Winslet has
:10:32. > :10:38.got to be a front-runner. Seriously! You have got kids,
:10:38. > :10:43.right? Haven't you? You have got kids. I might have. I think you
:10:43. > :10:53.make the shortlist. Anyone want to nominate themselves, after the show
:10:53. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :11:00.All five nominees are absolutely gorgeous, and I get to give it to
:11:00. > :11:07.all of them. Yummy! My girlfriend is here tonight, I love her and she
:11:07. > :11:10.looks really hot tonight! A British actor so good looking his face has
:11:10. > :11:19.been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which
:11:19. > :11:26.makes it the perfect spot on which to set and enjoy a picnic.
:11:26. > :11:30.Catherine keener is here, and she is hot. Old Mother Fry has
:11:30. > :11:37.sharpened a critical eye, she says, tremendous film, and I like that
:11:37. > :11:46.very nice Jude Law, didn't I catch you up in bed with him once? No, I
:11:46. > :11:52.was in a film, Mother. Sorry, I was miles away! Marisa Tom Maher for
:11:52. > :11:58.putting up with me, she is a hell of a talent, it was very brave of
:11:58. > :12:08.her to take her clothes off all the time. And I enjoyed looking at her!
:12:08. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:16.I would like to spank... Thank! Thanks Spike Jones! Oh, thank God,
:12:16. > :12:26.it wasn't I would like to thank William Jones. I wonder if he would
:12:26. > :12:35.
:12:35. > :12:42.be a lovely darling and blow a kiss Thank you very much! I am joined by
:12:42. > :12:51.rave sport, how are you? This is so beautiful, isn't it? It is gorgeous.
:12:51. > :12:55.With the rain, it is extraordinary. You have done this before, Life Of
:12:55. > :13:00.Pi, you must be really proud of that. Prometheus is nominated for
:13:00. > :13:05.best special-effects, which I did, I did the special-effects!
:13:05. > :13:10.Hopefully I will win that. I have got my speech prepared. I'm going
:13:10. > :13:16.to thank God, that is it. That is giving away the plot of the film!
:13:16. > :13:19.True! It is great to be here with all these lovely, talented people.
:13:19. > :13:24.Gorgeous people, it is quite intimidating sometimes, all these
:13:24. > :13:29.gorgeous people. I am quite intimidated by you right now.
:13:29. > :13:34.have got to present an award as well. I am presenting Best Short
:13:34. > :13:39.Film and Best short animation. you know Helen? We have met a few
:13:39. > :13:44.times, she is a gas. Sometimes you get a sexual tension with the
:13:44. > :13:53.citation read us. I'm going to try to push for sexual tension, I am
:13:53. > :13:57.all about sexual tension. The peer row Helen McGrory! -- the beautiful.
:13:57. > :14:07.I'm not going to prepare anything, I'm just going to see what happens.
:14:07. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:17.Good luck tonight, nice to see you. Confirmation of sexual tension here
:14:17. > :14:27.tonight and this is the reason why. Let's look at the best dressed on
:14:27. > :14:58.
:14:58. > :15:08.the carpet this evening and I had I have stitched myself into this
:15:08. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:15.and I cannot take it off. I have a So much glamour, however there is
:15:15. > :15:20.one man who is more suave and debonair than all of them put
:15:20. > :15:23.together. He is quintessentially British, strong, dangerous. The men
:15:24. > :15:28.want to be him and the women want to be with him. I am of course
:15:28. > :15:35.talking about the one and only Mr Stephen Fry. He is back presenting
:15:35. > :15:44.the BAFTAs for the 7th time. Ladies and gentlemen, I your host for this
:15:45. > :15:50.evening, Mr Stephen Fry. Thank you. Please, please stop. Oh, you have.
:15:50. > :15:55.The stage is bedecked with mirrors, as you can see, with an original,
:15:55. > :16:00.charming, design idea or the satirical reference to this crazy
:16:00. > :16:09.business? Let the tiara of joy and circle your brow and the elastic
:16:09. > :16:12.panty hose of festivity end girdle your most intimate parts. I am
:16:12. > :16:17.quivering with irrepressible, mouth-watering delirium at the
:16:17. > :16:25.undulating prospect of this most splendid... That is Stephen Fry's
:16:26. > :16:35.script. I did not understand a bloody word! Nobody does. I think
:16:35. > :16:40.that is yours. Thank you. Strewth! Before I give up his award, I have
:16:40. > :16:48.a question that is on everybody's mind. What was that horrible
:16:48. > :16:52.slippery substance on the red carpet? Judi Dench's shoes are
:16:52. > :16:55.ruined and she is holding you personally responsible. I think it
:16:55. > :17:02.might have been a combined years of greasy flattery that have been
:17:02. > :17:06.given out, losing on to the red carpet and beginning to bubble out.
:17:06. > :17:13.You should not! Thank you. I have the Archbishop of Canterbury likes
:17:13. > :17:23.to say on these occasions, that is enough tedious BLEEP. Let's party!
:17:23. > :17:28.Good night and bless you all. joined by this evening's 7th time
:17:28. > :17:34.host. It could even be eight. do you get for your 8th time?
:17:34. > :17:38.get away with it, I hope! The weather is the chief attraction. We
:17:38. > :17:42.rely on Americans wanting wind and sleet to take their minds of the
:17:42. > :17:52.glorious Hollywood weather. I think it was 2005 when the red carpet
:17:52. > :17:57.actually had some news coming out of it. We joked about that and it
:17:57. > :18:03.was very fun. I asked in all innocence the second time I did it,
:18:03. > :18:09.how long is the red carpet? The reply came back, about 40 minutes.
:18:09. > :18:14.It is no longer the object itself. It is a segment, an event, an idea.
:18:14. > :18:18.A different time zone? Yes, not a physical thing. We are standing on
:18:18. > :18:23.a piece of tapestry that his scarlet. This is not the red carpet,
:18:23. > :18:33.the red carpet is the people screaming and you doing your best
:18:33. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:44.to keep warm in the folds there, I am sure. It is false! -- in your
:18:44. > :18:49.false fur. Are you excited about meeting a Sally Field? Yes, I am
:18:49. > :18:53.very excited because she is up there along with Helen Mirren and
:18:53. > :19:00.people like that. Some big names will be up there, and they have
:19:00. > :19:05.never done the BAFTA before. I will not give it away. Does the name
:19:05. > :19:09.begin with the letter B? That person is nominated, so not a
:19:10. > :19:13.surprise. Don't try and guess because you would spoil everything.
:19:13. > :19:20.You seemed so relaxed. The inside I am a cauldron bubbling with
:19:21. > :19:30.butterflies. Can butterflies do that? Probably in a crazy child's
:19:31. > :19:31.
:19:32. > :19:35.cartoon fantasy! Hello, Tim Burton. I have to do some glad-handing and
:19:35. > :19:39.prepare my script. It is mostly done but I have to put some rude
:19:39. > :19:45.words into the autocue now that the sponsors and the BBC have passed it.
:19:45. > :19:55.I can sneak something without them noticing. Have a great evening.
:19:55. > :19:56.
:19:56. > :20:00.Lovely to see you. Goodbye. Thank Could I love Stephen Fry any more?
:20:00. > :20:05.I actually don't think so. Two of the most coveted awards tonight are
:20:05. > :20:09.the best actor and best actress awards. You will be very familiar
:20:10. > :20:16.with most of the nominees but maybe not everybody, unless you are Mark
:20:16. > :20:19.Kermode. Claudia Winkleman will explain who is who.
:20:19. > :20:29.In Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper is a disturbed young man on
:20:29. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:37.a quest to win back his wife. Marion Cotillard plays Stephanie, a
:20:37. > :20:44.trainer who suffers a horrific accident. Ben Affleck plays a real-
:20:44. > :20:50.life CIA agent trying to get diplomats out of a revolutionary
:20:50. > :20:53.Iran in Argo. Shoot him, he is an American spy. Helen Mirren portrays
:20:53. > :20:57.the wife and long-time collaborator of Alfred Hitchcock. The work I am
:20:58. > :21:07.doing gives me pleasure and purpose. It takes absolutely nothing away
:21:08. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:16.from you. Hugh Jackman plays an ex- convict who changes his identity in
:21:16. > :21:20.Les Miserables, adapted from Victor Hugo's epic novel. Zero Dark
:21:20. > :21:30.Thirty's Jessica Chastain is a CIA operative who believes she has
:21:30. > :21:30.
:21:30. > :21:35.found a Osama Bin Laden. You don't know Al-Qaeda. Joaquin Phoenix
:21:35. > :21:39.plays a World War Two veteran who meets a spiritual leader. Jennifer
:21:39. > :21:45.Lawrence is nominated for a patrol of Tiffany, a depressed young widow
:21:45. > :21:50.with a sex addiction in a Silver Linings Playbook. There is just no
:21:50. > :21:53.silver lining. Daniel Day-Lewis takes on the role of US President
:21:53. > :21:59.Abraham Lincoln as he tries to ban slavery in the final weeks of the
:21:59. > :22:05.American Civil War. I cannot accomplish a goddamn thing of any
:22:05. > :22:09.human meaning all worth until we cure ourselves of slavery.
:22:09. > :22:19.Emmanuelle Riva plays an elderly woman as she is cared for by her
:22:19. > :22:20.
:22:20. > :22:24.husband to. Hello, Hugh Jackman. How are you? I am very well. I am
:22:24. > :22:29.worried about you because it is cold. You can cuddle me and I will
:22:29. > :22:33.be fine! Since we saw each other, you got this nomination for this
:22:33. > :22:37.role that was so important to you. It has been the role of a lifetime.
:22:37. > :22:43.My first British film. I have waited a long time and I might quit
:22:43. > :22:48.now. This is as good as it gets. Wait until we get the results
:22:48. > :22:53.tonight! Are you confident? Here's the thing. After hosting the Oscars,
:22:53. > :22:57.I was saying to my wife, it is so relaxing just to be going! I love
:22:57. > :23:02.watching the BAFTAs and just to be here, I am thrilled. Anything else
:23:02. > :23:06.is a bonus. Stephen Fry sets the tone perfectly. He is a master. I
:23:06. > :23:15.watch him every year because I tried to steal as many ideas as I
:23:15. > :23:21.can. Sorry, I Anstey Lane it! Anything that is good. -- sorry, I
:23:21. > :23:26.am steeling it! Can I say the word speech to you? Are you ready?
:23:26. > :23:31.degree. I can just remember my wife, my wife, my wife. If I get that
:23:31. > :23:38.right, I am OK, right? And if you do not get it tonight, what about
:23:38. > :23:47.your face? If I don't get it? will not happen, obviously!
:23:47. > :23:52.face? It goes like this. Fantastic. That means I hate you. Pretty much!
:23:52. > :24:02.I wish you all the best for tonight. Go and get warm. There are some
:24:02. > :24:07.
:24:07. > :24:11.hand warmers here. I like the body The warmth that man exudes. Five of
:24:11. > :24:15.the world's most exceptional directors are up for the best
:24:15. > :24:19.director category this very evening. Let's take a look at some of their
:24:19. > :24:24.exceptional work. Ang Lee is nominated for the
:24:24. > :24:28.adaptation of the novel Life Of Pi. I need to find a way to feed him. I
:24:28. > :24:33.can eat the biscuit but got made tigers carnivores, so I must learn
:24:33. > :24:39.to catch fish. If I don't, I'm afraid his last meal will be a
:24:39. > :24:44.skinny vegetarian boy. Ben Affleck directs the real-life spy story
:24:44. > :24:54.Argo. You don't have any idea? is the best bad idea we have, by
:24:54. > :24:55.
:24:55. > :25:05.far. The United States Government has just sanctioned it. Michael
:25:05. > :25:13.
:25:13. > :25:23.OK, so how do you know it is Osama Bin Laden? Kathryn Bigelow direct
:25:23. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:32.the controversial Zero Dark Thirty. He is there. Quentin Tarantino is
:25:32. > :25:38.nominated for the slavery epic Django Unchained. Amateur slight
:25:38. > :25:42.disadvantage in that I do not know what they look like. -- I am at a
:25:42. > :25:48.slight disadvantage. But you do, don't you? I am joined by a
:25:48. > :25:52.gentleman who is no stranger to the BAFTAs. I think I totalled 49
:25:52. > :25:58.nominations over the years fall of your films. I did not count. That
:25:58. > :26:05.is pretty good. Very nice. Is that an indication of the appreciation
:26:05. > :26:11.that to get from the British audience for your films? Absolutely.
:26:11. > :26:16.This is the only place that my movies can be a commercial hit.
:26:16. > :26:25.Life Of Pi has struck an emotional chord. Why is that? I think it is
:26:25. > :26:33.an amazing movie! If you do say so yourself! It is an endeavour to
:26:33. > :26:37.bring up a lot, philosophical book to a movie. -- Be loved,
:26:37. > :26:41.philosophical book. And it is a thinking movie and people have
:26:41. > :26:49.great tastier. In terms of nominations for the film, is
:26:49. > :26:54.director most personal? Is that the one that you want? I have got it
