'Pride' Won At The BAFTAs, 'The Imitation Game' Didn't

Sunday night saw the stars come out for the BAFTAs in London, while 'The Imitation Game' lost out, LGBT comedy 'Pride' earned its award.

A scene of 'Pride' which won Outstanding Debut of a British Writer, Director or Producer at the BAFTAS

Last night, the stars were out for the British Academy Film Awards. Though The Imitation Game lost out in every BAFTAs category, Pride managed to save the night for LGBTs as it took home Outstanding Debut of a British Writer/Director/Producer, with our very own Andrew Scott in attendance.

Though not nominated, a whole host of celebrities (eye candy) came out to present awards including Henry Cavill, Chris Evans, Lea Seydoux, Monica Belucci, David Beckham, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Dormer, and Tom fucking Cruise.

The Lego Movie guys poked fun at their Oscar snub – which was deemed a shoe-in for the Animated Picture category – by declaring the BAFTAs their favourite Academy:

“You are our favourite Academy by far,” the directors said on stage. “You guys win the award for best Academy. This is the end of the awards road for us, so we can say whatever we want. There’s no one left to impress.”

Fry had an adorable and hilarious moment with the one and only Cuba Gooding Jr.
