What did you think of the Bafta last night?

Dame Helen Mirren has added the best actress Bafta to her long list of awards for The Queen, which was also named best film at the London ceremony.





British film-maker Paul Greengrass was named best director for United 93.





What are you views on the Bafta’s last night?

What did you think of the Bafta last night?
I think that Forest Whitaker deserved the best actor award as Idi Amin is a much more difficult and complex character to play than James Bond, for starters he was a real person whereas James Bond is open to as much interpretation as you like. Daniel Craig is much tastier though ;-), and he made a fantastic job of playing Bond.





I'm happy that Helen Mirren won best actress although I think that Judy Dench would have been just as deserving of the award.





Lastly did anyone else think that Eva Green looked like Edward Scissor Hands. What was she thinking wearing her hair like a birds nest.
Reply:I thought it was pretty good, I was sorry that Judy Dench didn't get *Best Actress* although I think Helen Mirren is brilliant too.
Reply:It was good. I love the Fact the Dame Helen won. Also, thrilled for Jeni. Hudson. Very happy.Hope the get the Oscars too...
Reply:It was good, though I preferred Steven Fry as a host.
Reply:I wanted Cars to win the animated category. OIther than that it was good. I felt sorry for Damian Lewis when his joke fell flat. Dont worry Damian, i laughed.
Reply:On the whole I think the awards went to the right people/films.





The Last King of Scotland is a superb film and Forrest Whittaker is a worthy receipiant of best actor.





I'd question whether Paul Greengrass deserved best Director - maybe I'm being cynical but I just feel that film is getting awards through subject matter rather than being a good film.





In answer to other comments about Daniel Craig - he didn't deserve best actor. Likewise Casino Royale didn't deserve best film. There's lots of flaws in it.
Reply:loved the final speech of the old editor lady/special bafta award. forrest though he absolutely deserved best actor gave a boring speech. helen was good and friendly. united 93 deserved to get baftas cos it was an excellent simple movie too.








watched most but not all of it on tv
Reply:i enjoyed waching it, i was disapointed daniel craig didnt get anything!! bbut forrest did deserve the award too so ........... but i love dan he is the man!!! lol
Reply:I would have preferred Daniel Craig to have been chosen as best lead actor. I think "The Last King of Scotland" is overrated. "Casino Royale" and "The Queen" should have won more awards instead of just one each. Glad that Jennifer Hudson still shone in the BAFTA and great decision on BAFTA's part not to have chosen Eddie Murphy as a nominee for best supporting actor. That's another overrated actor this year. Glad to see United 93 win the biggest share of awards.
