The King's Speech Rules at the BAFTAs!

As very much expected, at the very British awards BAFTAs, a very British film about a royal overcoming a stammer, The King's Speechtook home most of the night's big prizes.  But it couldn't take home Best Director, David Fincher for The Social Network managed to beat out Tom Hooper for that.  Yeah!  Inception won 3 of the technical awards for Special Visual Effects, Sound and Production Design.  And big honors also went to the Harry Potter series and J.K. Rowling for their outstanding contribution to British cinema and veteran actor Christopher Lee was granted the British Academy's Fellowship.  Surprise of the night, The Orange Wednesday's Rising Star award was Tom Hardy, the night's only absentee.  Gemma Arterton, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield and Aaron Johnson all attended but didn't win it.  Awkward!
