One of my favourite actresses Kate Winslet poses with Colin Firth (who I must say is growing on me in recent days) and it looks to be a mutual admiration society of these two.  Colin Firth won for Leading Actor in A Single Man.

Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker cleaned up at the BAFTAs with six wins including Best Picture and Director beating out ex-husband James Cameron for Avatar (which btw I saw it this weekend for the first time and it is as great as everyone says it is). Cameron has been very vocal about his support for his ex-wife which is fabulous. This, of course only adds to the Oscar buzz considering she has won a Producers Guild Award, Critics Choice Award, Writers Guild Award and a Director’s Guild Award in various categories for The Hurt Locker.

Also attending the BAFTAs:

• Robert Pattinson
• James Cameron
• Vanessa Redgrave
• Kristen Stewart
• Claire Danes
• Carey Mulligan
• Joanathan Rhys Meyers
• Anna Kendrick
• Saoirse Ronan
• Matt Dillon
• Gabourey Sidibe
• Tom Ford
• Quentin Tarantino
• Audrey Tautou
• Kristin Scott Thomas
• Mickey Rourke
• Christoph Waltz
• Vera Farmiga
