Here's what I said when the nominees were announced.

Never in my life have I been so happy to have been so wrong (well, two for four, anyway).

Winners so far this evening:

Drama Series: Sherlock

Awwww, the whole gang accepted together! And they said how fitting it is that today is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday!

Best Supporting Actor (DESERVEDLY SO): Martin Mother Fucking Freeman. (That's MMFF to us plebes.) That should cheer him up a bit--he's been having a rather rough time getting work since Sherlock.

Alex Kingston presented Best Supporting Actor -- that was a nice fandom mash-up. And, goodness, I know she's tall, but Freeman is just wee, isn't he.

(Oh, God, "The Wee Freeman." Kill me now, Terry Pratchett.)

Best Actor: Daniel Rigby - Eric and Ernie

Well. Okay, I didn't see it, so I can't judge but. Well. That's. Well.

Fuck.

My guess is that Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch split the vote. Ah, well. BC can't be feeling to great about that. Three-time BAFTA nominee, no-time BAFTA winner. And tonight, especially. Ouch.

And YouTube Award went to The Only Way is Essex. Whatevs, British public.

But YAY SHERLOCK and YAY MARTIN FREEMAN.

I love this: The BAFTAs as animated GIFS. (well, the four awards pertaining to Sherlock, anyhow.)

And oh, my heart:
