Stephen Fry - The Orange British Academy Film Awards

[Liz86000]

Wow..

[LatiLovesYou]

Awh. My heart broke when they showed Heath and Jake.

[GrandiaKnight]

He's presenting this year as well! I can't wait!

[splashgirl13]

stephen fry is just adorable

[oprachik]

probably one of the best opening on any film award ceremony, the rich language how it rolls so eloquently from Fry's mouth as if he were enchanting us to a prologue of Shakespeare. Just love the Britain's love of the english language.

[Babsan11]

Is this his funniest speech ever??

[TheConciseStatement]

Jonathan Ross needs to fuck right off because he's a useless, unfunny douche on this type of occasion.

[ThrivingFire]

He even got a grin out of Heath Ledger.... That alone deserves applause.

[aldentesolo]

This could have gone on for an hour and I still wouldn't find it boring.

By the way - I wish someone would post his final speech when he hosted the BAFTAs just after 9/11 - it was filled with solace, humility and courage...

[shazzqsong]

He was one of the best BAFTA presenters. I especially loved his joke about Nicole Kidman's nose in the hours. Hilarious!  Anyone know where you can watch the whole show?

[Babsan11]

I can watch this once every day. I can not believe how serious some actors look. Not Gyllenhall, Zellweger and a few others though.

[rockingreddevil]

Heath Ledger R.I.P.

[lydz25]

That was amazing! And it showed a bit during his BiPolar doc and showed how he was depressed during this time, so it really shows how well he did!

[criminalmindhouse]

see this can be done without insulting other and saying offensive things....

wish he host more often..

[ssss4545ssss]

why on earth did they replace him with Jonathan Ross !

[HughHouselover]

@ssss4545ssss One of the stupidest(?) things!

[HughHouselover]

@ssss4545ssss One of the stupidest things you can do! ;)

btw I LOVE the way he says "holiday" and 4:17 - 4:20 :)

He's the BEST!

[PhanPhoreverever]

Oh my gosh look at the absolute JOY on the faces of the "class stand-outs"!

So charming.

[nahatsu2]

I just found this video; and what a wonderful moment in time it was that I had the delightful honour of hearing the incredible introduction to the BAFTA evening earlier this year! An awesome speech; one filled with enough humour to life the spirit of all audiences everywhere! Bravo!

[CharlesKingsSmith]

I am delighted, honored and (let's not be too coy about these things) financially rewarded

[mediumdensityfibre1]

This speech is much too good for BAFTA. Both writing and delivery are peaches of luxurious texture. And both the writing and delivery are brilliant in a way which is particular to Stephen. Completely lovely speech.

[lamestguyintown]

@mediumdensityfibre1 WHATS BETTTER THAN THE BAFTA? THE OSCARS? DONT THINK SO :P

[SunflowerEyes1990]

who was that at 0:49?? and why is stephen fry so absolutely adorabe? i've loved him unconditionally since i was little

[bellboy64]

@SunflowerEyes1990 I think it's Jude Law.

[rainbowsalads]

Genius Fry.

[graceygrumble]

I saw him writing this while talking about his depression on the telly.

He was writing, smoking and in mid-conversation as he was typing it out.

The fella is clever. Love him.

[Redhotrammstein]

One word: waw!

[Akfilm92]

Very nice speech indeed; well chosen words, and funny to watch as well. A shame though that he isn't doing more of these sorts of things - he sure is talented.

Thanks for uploading this my friend. ^_^

[Yaddaer]

THis is one of those speech I wish to have written!xxxxxxxxxxxx

[helendqueen]

Thank you for posting this

[fryfan20]

aww always lovely, I recognise the beginning from the speech as the practising for it was shown in the SLOTMD docu :) thanks

[Aberjan]

mm...heath and michelle makes me melancholy

[Babsan11]

When was this?

[inckognitto]

@Babsan11 I believe it was 2002 when Stephen held that ceremony. Actually he did it two years in a row (2003).

[Babsan11]

@inckognitto Oh, is it that long ago?? Thanks for your help! Take care!

[googygok]

@inckognitto He's talking about the nominated as the class of '06 maybe that's a hint?

[googygok]

@inckognitto He's talking about the class of '06. :-)

[JessSuxBoloz]

Ron looks way too old for it to be 02/03, it must be atleast 2007

[IronMaiden2924]

@inckognitto Actually I think this was 2006, he did that host that year and I remember watching it on television because I was really hoping for Brokeback Mountain to win Best Film (which of course, it did). He makes a reference to it when he mentions Ledger and Gyllenhaal looking after the school sheep. I'm pretty sure he hosted in 2004 as well.

[StirlingRadliff12]

@inckognitto Class of '06.

[richardarterton]

@inckognitto 2006, he says so during the speech

[jagdwurstmadl]

@Babsan11 I think it was actually 2006... He mentions "the class of 06" in his speech.

[Babsan11]

@jagdwurstmadl I realize I have to listen again. Thanks for your help!

[PoptartNoJutsu]

@Babsan11 I'm going to guess 2006, because he mentions that year and that's the year these movies came out.

[Ellythrion]

@Babsan11 He clearly says this is the class of 06...

[lostfishcustard]

@Babsan11 2:17 he says class of 06'

[Biathine]

I'd like to say something more intelligent, but compared to this speech it would be babbling anyway.

[inckognitto]

@Biathine Incredible speech, right? Well, everything this Man is doing is simply genius! x

[Biathine]

@inckognitto I can't agree with you more!

[NewAgeEagles]

@inckognitto unless you've seen him on whose line.... he can do anything but rap

[HughHouselover]

@NewAgeEagles and other things that include/have to do with singing! ;)

[Biathine]

SQQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[morrrticia]

Love him. Love him. LOVE HIM.

Thanks so much. Amazing indeed. x

[Babsan11]

Thanks for sharing! Brilliant!

[inckognitto]

@Babsan11 Oh, he's insanely amazing! You're welcome :)
