![]() The London awards, popularly known as the BAFTAs, have a reputation for predicting who will win at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles. All four of last year's acting prize winners went on to take home Oscars. Winslet, Rourke, Meryl Streep, Daniel Craig and Penelope Cruz were among the celebs who braved a wintry London drizzle - and hundreds of screaming fans - to walk the red carpet in front of the grand, neoclassical Royal Opera House. The crowd's biggest cheers were for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - he wearing a mustache, she an elegant, old-Hollywood strapless black-and-yellow Armani dress. Cruz was named best supporting actress for Woody Allen comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Ledger's widely anticipated victory was the only win for the The Dark Knight from nine nominations. Clint Eastwood's LA noir Changeling was nominated in eight categories but won none. |
