Last night's BAFTA Awards in London brought out many award season regulars, with Amy Adams and Emma Stone leading the way for the ladies in their bright gowns. Emma Watson, meanwhile, picked a nude Valentino to support her Harry Potter films. Jessica Alba, with red lips and braided hair, picked the popular color of blue in Versace, along with a Tom Ford-clad Julianne Moore and Jennifer Lawrence in Stella McCartney. One star missing from the red carpet was Natalie Portman, whose Black Swan director, Darren Aronofsky, ended up taking home her best actress honor. Emma is so far winning as the evening's best dressed, but who's your pick?

The King's Speech took home best film, with stars Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Geoffrey Rush each also collecting wins for best actor, supporting actress, and supporting actor. Colin and more represented the sexy guys at the show, with Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield, on hand alongside his Social Network costar Jesse Eisenberg. Handsome Scottsmen Gerard Butler and James McAvoy also turned out in their tuxes — check out the entire list of winners!

James Franco was joined by lots of famous friends and family last night at the LA premiere of 127 Hours, just one day after he attended the film's NY red carpet. James, who plays hiker Aron Ralston in the movie, told us filming was extremely demanding and weighed in on the buzzed-about amputation scene. James thinks the gore has caused some people to faint because of the strong emotional connection they make to the real-life story. James's younger brother Dave Franco came to support his sibling, as did several stars of True Blood, Twilight's Kellan Lutz, and dad-to-be Orlando Bloom. Even with the impressive celebrity turnout, the spotlight was on James all night — his costar, Kate Mara, gushed to us that working with the multitalented star was simply "incredible." 127 Hours is out later this month and Buzz says it's among the November releases that may make you feel thankful this season.

Carey Mulligan embraces her newly single status by stepping out solo for the 2010 Hollywood Awards Gala alongside Halle Berry, Leighton Meester, and more. Check out our red carpet interviews on PopSugar Rush!

Any movie that's "based on a true story" feels like old hat these days. It used to be a way to lure in the audience, but the term is so overused that it's lost effect. Conviction, which stars Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell, is the latest drama to be written from real-life events, as it advertises on its poster. But the good news is that Swank and Rockwell's excellent performances save this one from being just another run-of-the-mill sentimental movie.

Swank stars as Betty Anne Waters, divorced mother of two boys and sister to Kenny (Rockwell). Kenny has been in jail for nearly 16 years, convicted of first-degree murder of a woman whose house Betty Anne and Kenny used to break into as kids for fun. In fact, Kenny has quite the rap sheet: from young delinquent to older man with a fiery temper, he's been a regular at the police station throughout his life. Yet despite his reputation, Betty Anne has the utmost faith in her brother. The film's title doesn't just represent Kenny's sentence, it's about Betty Anne's unwavering fortitude.
