2017 BAFTA Awards: Top Moments From the Ceremony1 of 11
Dame Meryl
Hosting the BAFTAs for the 12th time at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Stephen Fry opened the night by declaring Meryl Steep “one of the greatest actresses of all time” and added that “only a blithering idiot would think otherwise.” He then received a kiss from the Florence Foster Jenkins star after stating she would have been made a Dame five times over if she were British. He added: “Underrated, is what I’d say.”
Launching into the prizegiving, Fry said: "Let’s crack on with the awards and find out who the Russians have decided have won."
