BAFTA TV Awards 2010

-

Watching bits of the BAFTAs on TV. There was Richard Armitage having a right laugh at something Graham Norton (the presenter) was saying - didn't hear which, as it was just as I switched over to BBC1. At ca 20:40, the man himself was introduced to present the award for Supporting Actress. Just me, or did he seem a little bit nervous?

Anyway, here are the winners, which I got off the BAFTA website.

Fellowship: Melvyn Bragg

Special Award: Simon Cowell

Leading Actor: Kenneth Branagh - Wallander (BBC One) - Nice one! It's odd to see a bunch of British actors filming a Swedish book in Sweden... in English. They couldn't get the pronounciations right, to start with, but it was still a good watch. Plus, I can't really say no to the effort they made.

Leading Actress: Julie Walters - Mo (Channel 4)

Supporting Actor: Matthew MacFadyen - Criminal Justice (BBC One) - Aww, he's even starting to look grown up! Just give it a few more years and then we'll talk...

Supporting Actress: Rebecca Hall - Red Riding 1974 (Channel 4)

Entertainment Performance: Anthony McPartlin & Declan Donnelly - I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here! (ITV1) - Seriously?! They won over QI? Travesty!

Female Performance in a Comedy Role: Rebecca Front - The Thick Of It (BBC Two)

Male Performance in a Comedy Role: Peter Capaldi - The Thick Of It (BBC Two)

Single Drama: The Unloved (Channel 4)

Drama Series: Misfits (E4) - As some other show got an award, I mentioned to the Squeeze that Spooks must've been nominated for something, as I could see Harry and Ruth in the audience - and then there was of course Lucas as well - and yes, it was. This category, which it obviously didn't win. Maybe next year, eh?

Drama Serial: Occupation (BBC One) - Aww, Strike Back wasn't nominated? I wonder why...

Continuing Drama: EastEnders (BBC One) - 25 years going now, and I still can't be bothered.

International: Mad Men (BBC Four, but isn't that the show on FX?)

Factual Series: One Born Every Minute (Channel 4) - The clip they showed was of a woman who wanted cake, but who was told she couldn't have any - and what did her numpty of a partner say? "You could look at one" or something like that. Bloody sadist!

Specialist Factual: Inside Nature’s Giants (Channel 4)

Single Documentary: Wounded (BBC One)

Features: Masterchef: The Professionals (BBC Two) - Beating both Heston’s Feasts and the excellent James May’s Toy Stories.

Current Affairs: Dispatches: Terror in Mumbai (Channel 4)

News Coverage: ITV News at Ten – Haiti (ITV1)

Sport: World Athletics Championships (BBC Two)

New Media: Virtual Revolution (BBC Two)

Entertainment Programme: Britain’s Got Talent (ITV1)

Comedy Programme: The Armstrong and Miller Show (BBC One) - Standard! Isn't it? Random. And awesome! We've got tickets to see their live show this year - woohoo! I've also really enjoyed That Mitchell and Webb Look and the Kevin Bishop Show, but Stewart Lee... just didn't find his show funny. At all. But he didn't win either, so hah.

Situation Comedy: The Thick of It (BBC Two)

YouTube Audience Award: The Inbetweeners (E4) - A show I wish I had seen more of, because the bits I've seen have been hilarious!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
