While we were busy handing out Grammys [1] last night, the folks across the pond held their own star-studded award ceremony [2]: the BAFTA Awards [3]. In keeping with many of the awards ceremonies thus far, Atonement [4] and No Country for Old Men [5] were Juno [6] screenplay, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly [7] won for Adapted Screenplay. Many of the acting awards were to be expected (Javier Bardem, Daniel Day-Lewis), though Tilda Swinton's win against Cate Blanchett and Samantha Morton was a bit of a surprise.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, the Orange Rising Star Award — which is decided by the public — was given to Shia Labeouf. He was up against Sienna Miller, Ellen Page, Tom Riley and Tang Wei. Shia was not present to claim his award.
To see a full listing of this year's BAFTA recipients, including The Bourne Ultimatum [8] and The Golden Compass [9], .
