Top Bafta moments
We pick out the top moments from the weekend’s big event
#1 The BAFTAs never disappoint when it comes to cringeworthy displays of loveydom, but Stephen Fry raised the bar this year when he descended from the stage he’s graced for (a few too many) years and kissed Edward Norton and Michael Keaton.
#2 Surprisingly, this was David Beckham’s first ever Bafta ceremony, and he showed up most of the movie stars in his Tom Ford dinner suit. Over the past 15 years he’s mainly watched kids’ films, he said, but he still takes time out to watch the odd “adult movie”.
#3 Celebrated physicist and thinker Professor Stephen Hawking turned up to present the award for best special effects – because that involves, like, science and stuff, right? – and to witness Eddie Redmayne win the award for playing him.
#4 Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch was all eyelashes and bow-ties as he took to the red carpet alongside fiancee Sophie Hunter, with whom it was recently announced he is expecting a child. Their loving gaze went down a storm.
#5 The most awkward moment of the night came when Stephen Fry confused Boyhood star and best supporting actress recipient Patricia Arquette with her sister, Rosanna. The camera caught her exchanging a knowing look with her husband.
