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

It was tea time for Emily Blunt and others as they attended the BAFTA/LA 16th Annual Awards Season Tea Party. This small, intimate invited only get together took place at the Beverly Hills hotel where everyone relaxed before tonight’s Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globes is probably one of my most favourite award shows because the atmosphere is very relaxed (could be the alcohol) and of course Ricky Gervais will be hosting and considering he says he hasn’t practised his hosting duties, this could be fun and highly inappropriate.  When I’m in an especially naughty mood, me loves inappropriate.

Attending the tea party:

• Alison Brie
• Talulah Riley
• Olivia Williams
• Claire Danes
• Maggie Gyllenhaal
• Anna Kendrick
• Quentin Tarantino
• Paul McCartney
• Jane Fonda
• Julianne Moore
• Tom Ford
• Helen Mirren
• Amanda Righetti
• Ben Foster
• Gabourey Sidibe
• Ed Westwick
• Eli Roth
• Kevin McHale
• Jessica Szohr

and lots others.

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock both got honours for best actress at last night’s 15th Annual Critics Choice Awards with Sandra winning for her role in Blind Side and Meryl for her role in Julie & Julia.  Sandra said the win was an honour and went on to describe just how similar she and Meryl are:

“I love food and sex like Meryl. That’s how similar we are. You guys just didn’t notice it until now. Meryl is a good kisser”

The Hurt Locker received Best Picture and Best Director for Katherine Bigelow. It is the first time a woman has received the award. Ex-husband James Cameron was also up for the award for his movie Avatar, and gave her a standing ovation when she won.

Avatar won six awards including:  Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, BestSound and Best Action flick.
