Open BAFTA Thread

The BAFTAs start all tape-delayed on BBC America very soon now... if you haven't spoiled the show already by looking up the winners at other Oscar-happy blogs, you can watch and act surprised when Slumdog Millionaire wins everything. All right, all right, acting surprised will be difficult even without spoilers -- you'd probably have to be Streep-good to pull that off.

I won't be typing up the BAFTA evening and my own reactions until the second airing at 10:30 or so EST. It was a choice between watching the looney British Academy or attending a concert starring happiness itself Kristin Chenoweth and Marni f'ing Nixon y'all (!!!). So, yeah... wasn't even a contest.
