12 Issue 72 / 2015 FILM guestlist.net In case you missed it, we break down the 2015 BAFTA Awards The 2015 BAFTAs returned to the Royal Opera House, and Stephen Fry returned as host. Here's what went down. Kasabian opened the awards, received minimal reaction from the crowd The Leicester rockers started the show, playing 'Bumblebeee' to a montage of this year's biggest films and an under-enthused crowd. And guitarist Serge wore a fluffy tail, because why not. Host Stephen Fry divided opinion, aka not his best year Fry fawned over the star-studded crowd as usual and raised a few laughs, but got nominee (and eventual winner) Patricia Arquette confused with her sister Rosanna in his opening monologue, and his Stephen Hawking quip fell flat. Professor Stephen Hawking ruled Hawking attended the awards with his family in support of The Theory Of Everything, and cracked a joke at Stephen Fry's expense when co- presenting an award, delighting the nation. Two fingers stuck up to the Oscars The Lego Movie, one of the biggest Oscar snubs of the season, rightly won Best Animation, and when accepting the award, director Phil Lord joked, "You are our favourite academy by far, and this is clearly the most fun I've had in an opera house by far also." Take that Oscars! Epic realness served by Julianne Moore As she took to the stage to present Best Original Screenplay, Moore announced "I'm hungry", capturing the hearts of the audience and winning the evening (as well as the Best Actress BAFTA) Hollywood proved to be the wrong choice Both Richard Linklater, who won Best Director and Best Film for Boyhood, and Wes Anderson, who won Best Original Screenplay for The Grand Budapest Hotel, were not in London winning, but in Los Angeles, losing at the Directors Guild of America Awards. However, this did mean we were treated to a wonderful Wes Anderson-ish acceptance speech delivered by Ralph Fiennes. Memorial tribute omissions Film fans were left outraged as Bob Hoskins and Rik Mayall, two huge figures in the British entertainment industry, were inexplicably omitted from the annual memorial tribute. One for the haters Mike Leigh, recipient of the Academy Fellowship Award, delivered a powerful speech on the importance of independent cinema, and had a message to the haters, "To those boneheads, philistines and uninspired skinflints who said no…thank you for keeping away and may you all rot in hell." Stunning predictability The winners were extremely predictable, particularly in the acting categories, there were lots of beards in attendance, and film stars wore designer clothes on a red carpet.
