I don't know. The audience are a bit bewildered, but he is very witty grin
I loved his account of George Clooney begging to be allowed to present an award.

Am only watching snippets, when adverts come on so missed that when I do like him, but not tonight.

Too witty for the americans by far maybe? He talks fast and it is a very English brand of humour.
Billy can still hook a crowd cant he. He comes on and just says something like "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. And steven." and gets a big laugh. never did anyone have the ability to put so many nuances in a few words - its all in the non verbals. Quite the opposite to mr erudite fry who is all about the words.

Though DD Lewis was brilliant with his self parody [if that's the right term?] so I'll forgive him for being in what I thought was a very boring film. Don't understand why Argo won so many awards; pleasant but immediately forgettable film imo. Yes' Billy was brilliant.

A temple to 'loveydom'. Fry completely over the top as usual - I bet it confused all those from across the Pond which is no bad thing grin

Just looking at Helen Mirren's dress fabulous,and I love the tint on her hair.

I once saw a photo of Helen Mirren on her knees hemming up her sister's dress before an awards ceremony. She always seems so normal - as if she has a real life.

I have not seen Argo but, it is a film about the film industry isn't it...
The media are always fascinated by the media hmm

I did see bits of the BAFTAs and did see who came on and say Good evening ladies and gentleman and stephen, but can't remember who it was - even the reference to Billy doesn't trigger anything - please tell me who it was confused

Thanks - that's a good excuse - I'll stick with that.
