BAFTA's! What a night!

Last night along with many others I watched the 68th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA's). And  WOW, what a night for film it was. It just showcased once more the pure talent that Britain has to offer in the film industry, along with amazing films from all over the world. Everyone coming together to simply celebrate film. And all the winners were well deserved and none came of a suprise, but my gosh the competition was certainly tough. 

With the simply beautiful "Boyhood" taking the award for best film and supporting actress. Eddie Redmayne grabbing the well deserved award for best actor for his incredible performance in "The Theory of Everything". His reaction was priceless and so thankful and his speech was simply lovely and genuine. He is just lovely. JK Simmons won best supporting actor for his role in "Whiplash" and I was particulary pleased with this win, as it is such a brilliant and unique film and his performance was faultless and so true. And his speech was so sweet. So very happy with that! And the other win I was particularly happy with was "Birdman" taking the award for best cinematography! Now this may sound quite film geek, but the cinematography in the film is beautiful and visually stunning and it really contributes to the feel of the film and I just loved it! Well done Emmanuel Lubezki!

Stephen Fry was brilliant at hosting the BAFTA's, I love him anyway but he really kept the spirit high and constantly reminded the audience and public on how brilliant film is and especially the british talent in film today. And he certainly made me laugh throughout, he's just brilliant, who doesn't love Stephen Fry! 
I loved that Stephen Hawking himself attended the ceremony with the film about his life being up for multiple awards, and he also presented the award for best special effects along with Felicity Jones who plays his onscreen wife and it was simply lovely.
Kasabian opened the show with a brilliant performance, and with the many films released in the past year being showcased behind them performing, again really emphasised how much film has achieved in the last year and it was so inspiring. And Kasabian were great!
