  • Awards season is fully underway and what better way to bring a touch of British glamour to

  • LA than a tea party courtesy of BAFTA? Oh, and these handsome British men too. But before

  • Benedict Cumberbatch looks ahead to this year's BAFTAs, he's been reminiscing about winning

  • the Britannia Award last year.

  • It was a really special night, and especially to receive it from two really good friends

  • that I've known for a while, Chiwetel and Alice, that was really lovely, and what they

  • said broke my heart, actually, because that was my favourite moment. They spoke about

  • me as their friend first and foremost and that choked me up.

  • Onto this year though, and fellow 12 Years A Slave co-star Michael Fassbender didn't

  • want to get ahead of himself when asked if he wants to win at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs.

  • I don't know, you tell me. No, it's nice to be nominated, it's nice to get exposure for

  • the film and hopefully encourage people to go see it.

  • It's Gravity that leads the BAFTA nominations though, and having filmed it in the UK, it

  • sounds like Sandra Bullock has become an honorary Brit, repping those who worked on the movie.

  • We got to go back to England, which is where we shot the film and we had such an amazing

  • time there, spent a lot of time there, worked with a lot of amazing people and artists and

  • they all should be here but there's so many of them, there's so many people that worked

  • on every frame of this film and each and every one of them is English and it's nice to be

  • here representing them.

  • If we were gonna have anyone representing us, we'd quite like it to be Sandra Bullock

  • too.
