Three Brits you had never heard of three years ago that are now a big deal: Cara Delevingne, Jamie Dornan and James Corden (taking over for Craig Ferguson) packing BAFTA’s Awards Tea at the Four Seasons on Saturday afternoon.
Striking, and still a bit scary, in person – “Gone Girl’s” Rosamund Pike.
“Nightcrawler” writer-director Dan Gilroy with wife/star Rene Russo. TheWrap’s Jeff Sneider loves their chances at the Oscars.
Patricia Arquette (with her “Boyhood” director Richard Linklater) pulled a fashion inverse: no coat for the outdoor carpet in the rain (all white, all good) and put her coat on while inside the ballroom.
“I just hate Steve Carell’s acting,” Ethan Hawke joked while passing the lead of “Foxcatcher” who was just arriving. Carell pals around with Adrien Brody inside.
In the face of the Brits, the French hang together: Marion Cotillard and the composer who had 5 films in 2014, Alexandre Desplat.
BAFTA declared the party a “selfie-free” zone, a polite way of saying “no cameras”.
Anna Kendrick nabbed the man who has not been left alone all week: Eddie Redmayne.
The scene inside.
Steve Carell is too polite to cut off a conversation, even when the crowd actually listened to the program for once. Usually, they talk over everyone, even Nigel Lythgoe.
Henri Esteve and “Jane the Virgin’s” Gina Rodriguez, who is leading the CW in to new ground – awards season nominations. They have 2, yes 2, nominations. Sorry, “Vampire Diaries.”
That is Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) on the right. Her look on the show does her no favors. Rounding out the crew: Allen Leech (also with “The Imitation Game” this season) and in the center, British Consul General in L.A. Chris O’Connor.
“Game of Thrones” alum Kit Harrington with “The Hobbit” saga alum James Nesbitt.
“Outlander’s” Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe remind everyone that this is a tea party. The menu included “Mini Yorkshire Pudding Roast Beef & Horseradish Cream” and “Coronation Chicken Sandwiches”.
James Corden gives a hooligan’s greeting to pal Dominic Cooper. The onlookers are shocked! Shocked!
Gillian Anderson and Henry Cavill. Both have been on the scene in L.A. over the past few days and nights.
“Thank you for having me. I’ve always wanted to go to a tea party,” Hawke told producer Julia Verdin.
Redmayne, Joanne Froggatt, and “The Affair’s” Dominic West
The other Dominic, Cooper, with Pike. Down the bill, these two worked together in “An Education”.
Hammering sounds permeated the party. Mulberry had a make-your-own leather bracelet factory on site that made it sound like a mine.
Cara Delevingne (who sported sponsor Mulberry), James Righton, wife Keira Knightley, and Redmayne.
