As was Coming Down the Mountain, actually. I'm glad Andrew Garfield won, anyway - he was just so good. And I too am bewildered by the enduring apparent popularity of Harry Hill.

Stephen Fry, on the other hand, is brilliant. Incidentally, just quickly flicking through the comments and seeing the "Baffy waff" bit, my first thought was Russell Brand.

I mean why? He's really not that funny and the jokes he tells got old when he started out 15 years ago. Now they're just dull. But worst of all to me is the sight of a grown man getting up on stage and giving an acceptance speech that began (and I quote): "Baffy waff! Baffy waffy wim wam, wim wam, baffy waff! Waff waff, wiffy waffy wafta!" I know he's supposed to have this reputation for being surreal, but it's not even surreal anymore, it's just silly gobbledigook that he's doing for the purpose of trying to uphold a reputation for being surreal. How does that ridiculousness win over Stephen Fry? The Harry Hill thing amazes and disturbs me. I mean why? He’s really not that funny and the jokes he tells got old when he started out 15 years ago.

I didn't watch it so it's all a surprise. Harry Hill wins over Stephen Fry? What what? OK what's with all the Harry Hill love, I know he can be funny and everything, but still. Erm...Boy A shoulda won that one. Heroes wasn't really a surprise seeing as some of the cast were there. The IT Crowd is not funny. Ooh yay it didn't win. Yay for Andrew Garfield!! He was amazing in that. Who needs to watch when you do things like this? Much more entertaining. I will reply to your post in the same manner. I didn’t watch it so it’s all a surprise.

Now that you've caught my typo, I can't subtly fix it, can I?

They weren't just coming across to meet Graham Norton. I had a little momentary hope that Alan Dale would suddenly announce Ugly Betty and present the award to himself but he's not as narcissistic as I want him to be. Psst... It's Gina Mckee, G not J. She's quite fabulous so I need to be petty. The “International” Award winner was fairly obvious as soon as the guys from Heroes presented an award.
