I'm looking forwards to Alison Hammond she's a hoot. Richard E Grant seems incredibly nervous in his opening speech.

Not sure on Kate's gloves

Ha! Helen Mirren couldn’t be less keen to be chummy with Alison Hammond.

IcedPurple · 19/02/2023 20:03

Is Martin Freeman really short, or is Sophie Turner really tall?

MeinKraft · 19/02/2023 20:04

Oh it's so awkward when they joke... I'm at home willing someone to laugh, ANYONE

I thought that too!! She looked right pissed off!

Crumpetdisappointment · 19/02/2023 20:05

Alison Hammond is just appalling

Show quote history

Yes, you're probably right. I know he was short but he didn't look that tiny when he was next to Cumberbatch in 'Sherlock'.

She's probably wearing sky high heels too.

Crumpetdisappointment · 19/02/2023 20:07

Oh the queen loved you, stupid comment. We don't know said Helen, just stop it now Alison

UrsulaPandress · 19/02/2023 20:07

So was the wrong name read out?

SequinsandStilettos · 19/02/2023 20:07

Helen is my Elizabeth in the Richard Osman books. Retired spy - well, she was in Red. Throw in Lesley Manville as Joyce, Art Malik as Ibrahim and Alun Armstrong as Ron and you have a future Bafta nominee.

Fascinating that they have a BSL signer up there as presumably he’s signing in ASL?

Yes. Really interesting to see the two side by side.

Yes. Carey’s was read in error.

Cate Blanchett’s black dress was gorgeous. Really classy.

EyesOnThePies · 19/02/2023 20:14

Oh gosh, poor Richard E

Whatsuppdr · 19/02/2023 20:14

Can someone please give him another hug and take over? He's really struggling with this presenting gig

MrsMariaReynolds · 19/02/2023 20:15

Oh Richard 😞

Yes, at first I thought it was a bit boring.

But after getting a proper look at it I'm reminded that there is really a lot to be said for a simple black dress which is beautifully fitted and accessorised, with no gimmicks or fuss.

And Cate elevates everything she wears.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 19/02/2023 20:16

This has not been a very showbiz evening

Cringy, Awkward, Unfunny "Bits"

Just in no way glamorous

And poor Richard getting overcome there

They've tried to Americanise it rather than embracing what is brilliant about British presenting and film. It's a shame.

BeaLola · 19/02/2023 20:18

At least the Oscar's won't be as badly presented (hopefully)

the80sweregreat · 19/02/2023 20:20

Lesley Manville would make a wonderful Joyce !
Ds2 has met Richard E Grant briefly and he said he was so lovely
His wife died last year, so no wonder he was upset there
Cate's dress was lovely , so classy
Nobody wants to party with Alison Hammond
She's on
Her own

How did Alison Hammond get the gig? Bloody awful.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 19/02/2023 20:20

It's Jimmy Kimmel for the Oscars I think

I used to pull all nighters for it but I don't have it in me any more

How did Alison Hammond get the gig? Bloody awful.

She has recognition in the US because several of her interviews have gone viral
