BAFTAs 2014

The best & silly things about the BAFTAs this year (if we ignore who won and lost):



#1   Stephen Fry.
#2   Stephen Fry's introduction to Emma Thompson:

"In film, a goddess.  In real life, a stinking piece of offal."

Bragging & BBCA

Now, I'm not saying this was all down to me, maybe they were planning on doing this post all along, BUT:

When they posted the original "Top Ten British Character Actors,"  I was rather sad not to see an women on their list.  I really wanted to see who they considered the best, male and female.  So I commented, wondering where the ladies were and offering some suggestions (two of mine made the list! . . . feel a fool for not remembering Imelda Staunton).

A week later they posted this post.

Just saying!

P.S.  This is also why I love the Anglophenia blog.  They post such a range of posts, respond to their audience well, and I feel like I learn a lot from them.

Music this week: Ben Howard

I'm going to be doing some driving this weekend so I'm looking for some good tunes to listen to on the road.  The BBCAmerica blog recently did a post on the new sounds from London so I took a look.  Something reminded me that I've been missing Mumford & Sons recently, but I think Ben Howard is going to hold their place for a while.

I was instantly won over by his beautiful cover of "Call Me Maybe."
