Post BAFTA reaction

I have managed to watch the whole show via YouTube (unofficially from the normal format of the BBC iPlayer, because you cannot watch it abroad in India). My first reaction is atypical, definitely expected results, some surprises but then again BAFTA are always a more sophisticated individual award ceremony. The only one in the season that is from the British Academy, signalling us out as one of a kind. The soiree weather as I could tell from the initial broadcasts afterwards, featured rain and sleet at the same time, something to greet the Hollywood stars with, only in England.
