SciFi Red Carpet: Tricia Helfer’s Tea Party
Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Each year the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angles (BAFTA LA) hosts an elegant tea party in honor of the American film awards season. It is usually a swanky A-List event crawling with potential Academy Award nominees, and usually a few Battlestar Galactica cast members. This year Tricia Helfer represented the Vancouver-based show, while last year’s event featured Jamie Bamber.
Other celebrities at the event included Clint Eastwood (Grand Tarino), Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Leonardo Di Caprio (Revolutionary Road), Kate Flannery (The Office), Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton), David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Josh Brolin (Milk), previous Academy Award winning actresses Kristen Scott Thomas and Marisa Tomei, Alicia Witt (Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Lucy Davis (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), Saffron Burrows (Boston Legal), Viola Davis (Doubt), and many others.

This weekend Canada celebrates the Leo Awards, the event that celebrates outstanding work in British Columbia film and television. While Battlestar Galactica is not nominated (anybody know why? I assume it does not qualify for some reason), two of its stars are up for two awards in the acting categories.
