Jennifer Ehle wins the 1996 BAFTA award for Best Actress in a TV show for her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, beating Helen Mirren, Geraldine James and Juliet Stevenson.

Jennifer Ehle, then 24, starred alongside Colin Firth in what is regarded by many as the definitive version of Pride & Prejudice.

The BAFTA ceremony took place on 23 April 1996 in London's Palladium Theatre. Jennifer Ehle's award is presented by Stephen Fry.

  • I looked several times and can not see where Colin was sitting that close to her. Besides i'm sure the camera would have shot over to him when she thanked him. This movie was just to huge at the time and their so called romance - i'm sure the camera would have captured him better. If this is the same BAFTA ceremony and I think it is - when Emma Thompson won hers - Colin was sitting pretty much in the front row - the camera zoomed in on him before Emma was named.

  • Colin Firth was himself a nominee for Best Television Actor at this ceremony. (He lost out to Robbie Coltrane.) His seating position was clearly shown - I'll add the clip soon.

    Jennifer Ehle is at the end of the row; to her right, her father, John Ehle; to his right, Colin Firth's partner, Livia Giuggioli (now his wife); to her right, Colin Firth.

  • what year was this in? 1995??

  • P&P was filmed in 1994, broadcast in 1995.

    The BAFTA awards ceromony shown here was on 23 April 1996

  • She thanked Colin Firth!!! yay!

  • There is a very brief and blurred glimpse of Colin Firth at 2.47 - he is sitting 3 places to the right of Jennifer Ehle.

  • Well deserved- the best Elizabeth Bennet ever.

  • Agreed! She's the best Elizabeth Bennet ever. Colin Firth got more well known eventually but she's just as good as him.

  • She is so pretty. But I don't think I've ever seen an actress with so many hair styles. Haha

  • @toothbrush898 do bear in mind that this was 16 years ago!

  • I thought she was american??

  • Its a shame what happened to her wonderful English accent, she sounds like a valley girl nowadays

  • RED LED WHIP

  • @maryfares28 Depending on her audience. :) Having lived in both the United States and England, both accents are authentic for her. Look up her speech at the 2007 Tonys to hear her speaking in her American accent!

  • She really is the best Elizabeth Bennett ever!

  • @amyv5 she looks soo different here
