SciFi Red Carpet: Jamie Bamber at the BAFTA Party

Jamie Bamber Battlestar Galactica BAFTA Tea Party 2008

Jamie Bamber, who plays Lee "Apollo" Adama on Battlestar Galactica, hit the red carpet tonight for the 14th Annual BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.  The event was smaller than usual due to the scaled down Golden Globes ceremony the next day, but the early word is that it was a lot of fun.  For more pictures of Jaime from the event, click the "more" button below.

Other stars at the Beverly Hills Hotel today included Atonement’s James McAvoy, Pushing Daisies’ Anna Friel, The West Wing’s Allison Janney, Brad Bird who wrote and directed The Incredibles for Pixar, Lauren Holly, CSI’s Marg Helgenberger, Lucy Davis from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and the British version of The Office, Elijah Kelly from Hairspray, Jurnee Smollett, and Laurel Holloman from The L Word and Angel.

BAFTA, or the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, traditionally holds a tea party to kick off awards season on Golden Globes weekend.  While much of the festivities related to tomorrow’s Golden Globes have been canceled along with the telecast, this is one event that partied on.

BAFTA is outside the realm of the writer’s strike, which means it may be one of the few entities to temporarily gain from the dispute between the producers and the writers.  With the cancellation of the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards in flux, Los Angeles is sorely in need of some glitz and the annual BAFTA awards may provide the town with a relatively uncontroversial excuse to put on a tuxedo and party.

"It’ll either be a room with no American talent, or one filled with it. But the British awards will almost certainly go ahead," one insider recently assured The Telegraph, a British newspaper, about the upcoming BAFTA awards.  Either way, we hope Jaime is on the guest list.

    [...] 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. [...]
