Whee, lovely Baftas!
For this post, I shall type up the notes as they appear in my notepad although I shall also attempt to make them more legible and slightly more coherant. I've bolded the name of the award and the winner, so you can skim read it for that, and then I've just added really nonsensical commentary from my notes.
And I may have got some of the award names slightly shortened, and not heard the names of winners properly (recording the film, for example, and then forgetting the name of the writer) so really, if you want to know things, a list is probably the best bet for you.
This is somewhat pointless, over-uses gleeful adjectives, and I am somewhat rude about people I don't like. I am sorry!
Also, I'll screencap the last hour (the best bit, with Best Actor/Actress/Film) as this is the only hour I managed to record the right channel for. *looks vaguely ashamed* I'll do a picspam of it later - this took a while to write up and I think I need to lie down (if I am ill in half-term, I will not be happy.)

Opening rambles: Wah, Baftas! I just saw Helen Mirren! Okay, they're interviewing the people on the red carpet: Helen Mirren wants Judi Dench to win Best Actress. Kate Winslet wants Helen Mirren to win. Judi Dench doesn't think she has a chance this year - she says she's just there to enjoy herself! (Isn't it nice that two of my favourite people were in the opening minutes?)
Jonathan Ross presents: I love Jonathan Ross, but he's no Stephen Fry. (I now see that he is actually a bit useless at this whole Bafta thing. Stephen, we love you. Come back.) Helen looks sodding gorgeous! As does Kate. Daniel Craig looks dashing. Jonathan Ross makes a joke about Daniel Crag 'filling his speedos'. I'm not quite sure that came out the way he intended!
Judi Dench is sitting in front of Daniel Craig! This amuses me for some reason. Jonathan Ross apologies if he has mocked anyone in the room in the last year. Helen just mouthed something at the camera but I don't know what! (And since the recording went wonky, I WILL NEVER KNOW. *cries*)
Oh, fuck off Joely Richardson. You're bland and I don't like you.
Jonathan Ross makes a Mel Gibson joke and then says he already checked to see if he was in the room. The film reel of films in the last 12 months started with Helen Mirren's little weepy moment in The Queen. Fuck off, Meryl Streep, you do not deserve awards for a chick flick. *hates the world* Back to Jonathan, and he says that a good acceptance speech should be like a Scientology birth - with as few words as possible and no crying.
Best British Film - presented by Kate Winslet: I love Kate's dress but her hair is a bit odd - I personally don't think that scraped ponytail look works brilliantly for her. God, she's pretty.
Winner: The Last King of Scotland. Kate says 'wow' when she reads the winner. Oh God, this acceptance speech is awful. She's said two words and I don't like it - and then I thought she'd finished, but no.
Orange Rising Star - presented by James McAvoy. He won this one last year! Aww, he does some adorable thing where he pretends to be Christian Bale from The Prestige. Oh, he's lovely. I like him. I want Emily Blunt to win this! Oh, or Eva Braun. Ooooh, but Fran likes Cillian Murphy! This is difficult!
Winner: Eva Green. James said 'the winner is' and then says 'oh sorry, I was told to say 'the bafta goes to...'!'. EVA WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR HAIR? (seriously, who thinks about going to an award ceremony looking like they've electrocuted themselves?) SHE ACTUALLY SAYS 'ooh la la'. I love her. Daniel Craig, in the audience, looks stunned and happy. We see her backstage (this is so pointless, they get asked how they're feeling. They just won an award. How do you think they feel? Prats.) Anyway, Eva looks adorable and says she wasn't expecting to win.
Best Film Not in the English Language - presented by Toni Collette. I do not like her. I don't like her dress either, I think it's a tad unflattering. Ahahaha, Apocalypto. Nooo. Black Book looks interesting (and yes, in my notes it says 'Black Books', but that is clearly wrong.). Oh God, I want to see Pan's Labyrinth so much.
Winner: Pan's Labyrinth. Yaye! A lovely man does a speech (I didn't catch his name) - he says he's too fat for all the excitement, which automatically endears him to me. He says he loves England because he can be blunt and repressed. Seriously, I love this man.
Cinematography - presented by Damian Lewis and Joely Richardson. (In my notes, it says 'Damian Lewis (!!) and shitty Joely'. Hee.) Her dress is okay. Oh oh Damian, I love you. He says the cinematographers make the actors look better than they are, so he has to be nice to them - he does something original. She is dull and sticks to the autocue. Oooh, Pan's Labyrinth is back! And Casino Royale, that was gorgeous.
Winner: Children of Men. The guy that accepts it is teary and stuttery - v. sweet.
Babel looks pretentious and bleh. (This is from the little segments they had on each of the Best Film nominees.)
Carl Foreman Award - presented by Jamie Bell. Hmm, what has he done since Billy Elliot? He looks crap (I'm not very nice, I've just noticed!) He sounds weird too! Black Sun looks interesting - so does Pierrepoint! (This award is for an actor, director or producer in their first feature, I think.)
Winner: Red Road. Apparently, this director just lets her actors go until 'the scene finds a natural place to end'. Hmm. She seems a bit forced. Her jokes fall repeatedly flat but they made me chuckle! She says she'll spend the money (this award also comes with a £10,000 cash prize) on a new boiler, as hers has just broken. (I didn't get her name either! Ha, I'm a bit rubbish at this.)
Best Supporting Actor - presented by Sienna Miller. Lovely dress. Oh, she's nice too. I've never really given her much thought before! Heh, Michael Sheen (He played Tony Blair in The Queen) was good (this is me being made laugh by the little clip).
Winner: Alan Arkin, for Little Miss Sunshine. I should really watch that. He's not there - Sienna says she'll give the award to him (all the presenters who present an award to a not-there person say that - they don't personally do that, so this is mis-leading. Heh.)
(This bit is from the feature bit on The Queen). Hee, Jonathan Ross says Helen Mirren mades the Queen (something completely illegible, which looks like 'liberwsh' on the page) and sexy. Oh oh, Helen interview! The director thinks the film itself isn't sensational but can see how making the film can be considered so. Helen says she's grown to respect the real Queen for her self-discipline - she says she is trying to fight towards that in her portrayal in her own, 'Helen Mirren-y, not-like-that-at-all kind of way'. She has a darling laugh!
Achievement in Film Music - presented by Kylie. (My notes says 'Kylie, in something ghastly, presents...')
Winner: Babel. The guy's name is Gustavo something. Kylie actually just said his name and didn't say the name of the film, so I was forced to find this out through the bit that came up on screen and told me. He's a bit pompous looking but not bad. Go now.
Fuck off, Joely.
Best Original Screenplay - presented by Simon Pegg. Oh, he drops in a mention for Shaun of the Dead and its numerous awards, but says he isn't bitter about not winning this award for it. And then he presents the award in a silly, uptight voice. Hee. On a completely unrelated note, the set this year is gorgeous.
Winner: Little Miss Sunshine. (I didn't catch the writer's name) The person isn't there and Simon Pegg says it looks like he gets the award after all!
Best Animated Feature - presented by Ricky Gervais. I don't like him either! Ahahaha, he says Jonathan Ross stole Stephen Fry's job! I might like him after all. (It says in my notes to just type out what he says from beginning to end, but sadly this was on the bit that wasn't recorded.)
Winner: Happy Feet. (and here I have the name of the guy that comes to collect the award! His name is George Miller.) And Ricky Gervais originally says Helen Mirren won, and that it's getting ridiculous!
Special Visual Effects - presented by Andy Serkis.
Winner: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. They're not there either! This is silly now.
(News break was here)
If Meryl Streep wins Best Actress, I will kill someone.
Best Supporting Actress - presented by Daniel Craig. He is so ridiculously attractive! Aww, I want Abigal Breslin to win! Ohh, but Frances de la Tour! And Emily Blunt!
Winner: Jennifer Hudson. WHAT? For shitty Dreamgirls? Pah. No.
I really, really want to see Little Miss Sunshine now.
Best Adapted Screenplay - presented by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Aww, I loved him in Kinky Boots! He looks good here.
Winner: The Last King of Scotland (and no, I didn't get this writer's name either. I am fail.)
There's a really 24-like noise after the nominations for each catagory! Now it is the bit where we all remember the people who died last year. Oh noes, the Artful Dodger guy died? And the cranky older guy from Four Weddings that said 'it should be perfectly obvious I'm neither!' And Peter Doyle! And Robert Altman (there's a Gosford Park clip here, yaye) - this is such a bad year! Everyone's dead!
Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema - presented by Emily Watson and Aamir Khan. (Yes, I had to look up how to spell his name. No, I don't know who he is. I'm a very bad person.) Oh, isn't she darling? She seems kind of out of breath.
Winner: Nick Daubeny. He's a location manager. He has an odd manner of speaking. Hmm. Slow. He tries to be witty about God. Kate Winslet is practically crying in the audience. Oh, okay, I'm guessing there's more to this man than I am realising. They keep cutting to Damian Lewis a lot here.
Best Director - presented by Penelope Cruz. She isn't really blowing me away, isn't she meant to be stunning? I like her hair though.
Winner: Paul Greengrass for United 93. Look, I got his name! Ahahahaha! Oh, how sweet, he's all shaky and emotional. Okay, his speech is going on a bit. He's got James May hair and Harry Potter glasses.
Leading Actor - presented by Thandie Newton. No, bad dress. Baaaaaad. Better than her dress last year though!
Winner: Forest Whitaker. (The Last King of Scotland) I think he over-acts a lot. Hmm. I want to see Last King though! Oh shut up - he's talking about being 'an artist of the world'. No. Stop it. And he referred to the other actors as 'his cast'. Okay, he seems fine, but GO AWAY. Wait, he redeems himself to me by thanking his grandma, who recently died. How sweet. He says she's in the 'realm of the ancestors'. Then he walks off, realises he's gone the wrong way, and walks back. It's quite darling.
Leading Actress - presented by Jake Gyllenhaal. Oh, please, please, please let it be Helen or Kate for this. Just not sodding Meryl Streep. In a chick flick. Come on Helen!
Winner: Helen Mirren. HELEN! HELEN! HELEN! Oh, she looks darling. Oh yaye, Helen! Oh God, she's stunning. And lovely - she says all the women had powerhouse performances. Judi Dench looks all thrilled. Oh God, Helen's getting teary. *dies of love* Backstage, the interview guy accosts her and she's clearly all shaky and wibbly and he keeps talking to her and she's crying. Oh. Oh Helen. (She said a dear friend had recently died, and he helped her on her first film and inspired her to believe in herself, and she started tearing up at first on stage when she thanked him. In case you wondered.)
Best Film - presented by IAN MCKELLEN. This is so many kinds of awesome. (Ha, Penelope Cruz is crying too, in the audience. It is a weepfest.)
Winner: The Queen. Helen is back in the audience already?! She still looks all emotional. I love her.
Academy Fellowship - presented by David Puttnam. This award is going to an editor for the first time! Oooh, the presenting guy got this award last year.
Goes to Anne Coates. The montage they show of the films she's worked on really makes me remember why I love film. I like this woman. She's got something adorable about her.

Best Short Film - Do Not Erase
Hair and Make-up - Pan's Labyrinth
Production Design - Children of Men
Costume Design - Pan's Labyrinth

I actually really dislike Sienna Miller, I just don't get what is so special about her. At all.

Date: 2007-02-12 07:14 pm (UTC)> Judi Dench has the grace to know she's not gonna win things this year and the adorable/British-ness to know she's just attending these things to get drunk and bet on people winning.
> Jonathan said something along the lines of "the Opera House is packed tighter than Daniel Craig's speedos". Which made me giggle, because those swim trunks were indeed packed. ;)
> Only light in Babel's dark bleh pretension? It has my dearest darling Harriet Walter in for like like 3 stereotypically posh tourist lines.
> Helen Mirren has a DAMN sexy, naughty, raucous laugh, And a tattoo. And I adore. The clip of The Queen when the little girl gives her flowers? Sooooooo sweet.
> Eva Green had that atrocious hair"style" yet again, Hasn't she learnt already? Oy.
> I want Simon Pegg's babiez!!!!! And sometimes I think Ricky Gervais is fucking funny, his stand-up shows are and he can be relied upon to say what everyone's thinking.
> Emily Watson occasionally freaks me out. She has crazy eyes sometimes.
> I hate Penelope Cruz. I have been saying for years that she looks like a drugged-up duck. I even passionately argued this point with my spanish class and teacher.
> HELEN IS LOVE AND FTW.
> Ian McKellan is a dude, I luff his voice and he is so cute, and I have met him.
> Anne Coates was so very sweet when she was saying all about 'having an Oscar, and most importantly a grandchild.' She also got points from me for nicely saying 'may whatever god you believe in bless you'.
Ah, a good night of tv was had by all.

Date: 2007-02-13 10:46 pm (UTC)I am free for lectures on why Penelope Cruz looks like a duck on Thursday mornings if that's good for you? ;)
Not that I have anything against ducks, I think they're rather cute. /tangent.

Date: 2007-02-13 11:04 pm (UTC)Hmm, on Thursday morning I learn about the Crusades and then English Literature, alas. So the lectures will have to be abandoned, but let's feel free to thwap people who like her with sticks, kay? :D
Ducks are cute. But duck-like people? Not so much.
Though I did once get "bitten" by a duck. I think I just stared quizzically at it and casually told my dad what was happening. ;)

Harriet Walter is fabulous! I read an interview with her the other day in a telegraph magazine where she said that there was a programme about monkeys on the tv so she ran to get her toy monkey from upstairs because she 'didn't want him to miss it'! I kept that quote, I loved it.
Righty ho Moogy...here some replyin' ...
* Screencaps! Excitin! Yey!
* I SO AGREE ABOUT JOELY RICHARDSON! I saw her on stage and I swear I've never seen anything so wooden in my life. Plus in Maybe Baby she looks so self-conscious the whole time I find it hard to watch her. That's NEGATIVE PRESCENCE. NOT GOOD IN AN ACTRESS, JOELY LOVE.
* James Mcavoy love!! Me lovvvvvvvve the Scottish lovely boy..
* Thank you for considering my Cillian darling, v touched you thought of me ;) Did you like his clips?? Did you like the look of him?
* Damian yey :)
* Now I'm a Jamie Bell supporter and I agree he looked quite bad...a little stoned perchance? He was going out with lovely Evan Rachel Wood for a bit...obv not anymore, she wouldn't let him go out like that.
* Pierrepoint is amazing, do see if you can. Juliet is in it also.
* MICHAEL SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! ME LOVE!! (I have realised none of this is actually really helpful or intelligent and most just LOVE for ppl)
* Jonathan Ross is right...in a strange kinda way Helen does make the queen sexy...even if just for those breasts, man (seriously have you EVER seen better breasts??)
* Reeeeeally want to see Babel
* Ricky Gervais nearly made me sick with laughing, I just love him and his damn cheekiness
* Funny, Daniel Craig doesn't strike me as your type? Never seen him act but he looks quite good
* Chiwetel Ejiofor!!! MORE LOVE!!
* Me and Char were also shocked that the Four Weddings guy died, he's a GENIUS! And Robert Altman too (Kristin clip, hoorah)
* That location guy did stuff for Band Of Brothers which is why Damian got cut to a lot...me and Char were wondering if he was a personal friend or something...
* Forrest and Helen made me weeeeeeep
* Awwww Helen was so cute when she was only just sitting down then The Queen won and she did like a 'YEY' thing...so cute!
I bet no-one else could drag the baftas out for so many days talking eh? Fabulous stuff.
Loves youuuuuuuuuuuuu

She is so sweet and funny. I actually posted a letter to her today, of which the shortened version is "omgthankyouforbeingsoawesome!".
Pleeeease could you tell me exactly which Telegraph Magazine that interview was in? I'll need to phone my dad and get him to check he hasn't thrown his copy out or worse, never got it in the first place. *wibbles*
