Bafta 2015

Well another BAFTA is over. Stephen Fry did yet another stirling job of keeping the audience interested with his natural charm and rapier like wit.

There was no real surprise that Eddie Redmayne won the Leading Actor award for his portrayal of Stephen Hawkin in The Theory of Everything but I was surprised that Boyhood won the Best Film award.
The Fellowship Award went to a British institution, Mike Leigh.
