The 2013 EE BAFTAs

And so this year's EE Bafta awards have come to a close - what did we learn?
Well, for one, London this year belongs to Ben Affleck, with three well-deserved BAFTAs for the stunning Argo.
Elsewhere, Amour picked up a couple, Skyfall finally got recognised, and Django Unchained was garnished with some well deserved praise.
Of course, the night would have been nothing without the glorious Stephen Fry - and watching him at work once again, one is left wondering how the hell Ricky Gervais ever got asked to present so much as a sports day runners-up cup, never mind a premier awards show across the pond.
On a separate note, I know Orange (and T-Mobile) is now EE, but did they have to change the name of the awards? It just sounds like someone on Emerdale or The Archers has just got excited about Anne Hathaway...
