My doorbell rings. The car has arrived. Yes, I have a ‘car.’ He goes by the name of Derek and he’s just pulled up in his Audi A8 to take me to the Corinthia to get my hair and make up done. Yes, this is actually happening. It’s the day of the BAFTAS and I’m nominated…
Lovely account of an evening at the BAFTAs for her work on The Misfits. If I weren’t already jealous of her getting to work with that cast, she had drinks with Dominic West AND Benedict Cumberbatch. Is anyone else incredibly happy to hear that Dominic and Benedict caught up for drinks despite BC not winning? Not that I’d expect anything less than that from either of these great men, but it’s great to picture. 2 world-class actors and this talented and lucky lady, Alex, lounging around. Her anecdote of BC playing The Nightjar for the first time is also just precious. YAY.
My favourite BAFTA night story! A great account of the evening, ending with Dominic West asking for a lift so he can go have a drink with Benedict. Lovely photo at the end, she has such a lovely smile - and Benny right behind her obviously enjoying a ciggie (I almost choked looking at his lips here - ridiculously hot!).
I’m off to work and will sadly miss today’s surely to be awesome “Cumberwatch - the BAFTA Edition” Hoping everyone has some wicked fun hunting down our beloved Ben.
I don’t think I have ever wanted someone to win something as much as I want Benedict to win the BAFTA today (Obama winning the next presidency doesn’t count - that’s a universal given). I may regularly fan-girl about Ben’s lovely appearance but the attraction would not be there if his incredible talent and intellect didn’t grab my attention to begin with. I would just love to see him properly recognized for what an amazing artist he truly is.
Best of luck to you dear Ben!!!! Can’t wait to hear your acceptance speech (dies just thinking about it).

Prince Hal is summoned to court in The Hollow Crown.
I could write a novel about how excited I am to see this…it’s going to be bloody perfection!
Anyone else particularly loving the police-lineup of younger brothers (who are actually all visibly younger than Hal - a nice touch and rarely done)? I know they’re in the clip and not this delightful montage but god they’re adorable.
I actually squeed aloud at that because OMG BABY LANCASTERS.
So happy you liked this! Here’s one of this gifs I had not included in the above photoset with the wee baby Lancasters in the background.

Ahh. The visual magic of this scene.
This is fantastic! but is also reminding me that I have to get ready for work in like…four minutes and I have a feeling this gif illustrates what my next few days are going to feel like. I’ll just have to pretend that John and Sherlock are running around with me. Sherlock would be aces at finding lost books and John could calm down the crazy people.

Am I the only one finding hilarious that Benedict is going to get this? St. Tropez and Ugg-like pink boots… Just me then? Nevermind :D
I expect to see him out and about in the pink Uggs before the week is through…
Knowing him, you probably will.
Well, I suppose they are better than the crocs…..
Anything is better than the crocs…
i have faith that he will draw the line at those … monstrosities.
oh gods….pink UGGS?!?!?!? SHUDDER, verb (to tremble convulsively, typically as a result of fear or repugnance)
