Richard E. Grant – Official Website

ACTOR…DIRECTOR…AUTHOR…LEGEND! >>>>> The REG Temple…

53rd BAFTA Awards 2001

April14

Richard first appeared on film wearing a blue shirt looking VERY tired. He talked about Mary Selway, the casting lady, and congratulated her on her award.

He then turned up to give out the award for Audience’s Vote of Best Film. He was very smart in a 3/4 black jacket with white shirt and black tie worn in a “Withnail’s” style.

He did NOT look at all happy. I mean he was majorly pissed off at something. Anyway, with a look on his face that could have killed he read the nominations and then handed the winner the award.

Even after the presentation – the camera quickly went to Richard when he was sitting down again – he was clapping, but he still seemed in a FOUL mood. All was not happy on the Swazi front!!

At the end as the credits came up they showed a brief bit where he was being interviewed by the presenter but, as it was, we’ll have to get hold of the Sky One version that was shown the previous night to see more of the scenes that were “deleted”. Otherwise we won’t know what was said, or done, to Richard to annoy him in such a way.
