Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:55:48 PST

London's Royal Opera House was buzzing with stars as the BAFTAs kicked off last night. Brad Pitt popped up on the UK red carpet after attending the Berlin Film Festival premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey with Angelina Jolie on Saturday. He was up for best actor, as was his pal George Clooney, who mingled with Colin Firth and his wife, Livia Giuggioli, on their way into the show. Presenter Penelope Cruz got glamorous in red while nominees Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis, and Meryl Streep followed suit in gorgeous gowns. Michael Fassbender was back in front of the cameras following a win at yesterday's Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin. Other guys to suit up for the event included Jon Hamm, Jonah Hill, Gary Oldman, and Jean Dujardin. Chris Hemsworth, who is up for the rising star award, also went with black-tie and posed alongside his pregnant wife, Elsa Pataky. What did you think of all the BAFTA red-carpet looks?

Brad, who wore a coat by Dolce & Gabbana over his tuxedo, didn't end up taking home BAFTA gold, since The Artist's Jean Dujardin was declared best actor. Meryl Streep added to her trophy collection with a best actress accolade for The Iron Lady. Octavia Spencer from The Help won best supporting actress, and the corresponding male honor went to Christopher Plummer for Beginners. The Artist also won best picture and best director. Whether they won or lost, many celebs were in a happy mood following the show. Meryl, Octavia, Chris, Elsa, and more went to the official afterparty, and the Weinstein Company hosted another of their famous bashes.

George Clooney didn't hang around in the UK long after his night out at the BAFTAs yesterday. He walked through Heathrow on his way out of London this morning. George was nominated, but didn't win, in the category of best actor for The Descendants. The Artist cleaned up at the BAFTAs, however, and Jean Dujardin once again took home the statue over George. Nonetheless, Mr. Clooney is looking forward to their last matchup of award season at the Oscars on Feb. 26. George is even getting used to losing. He joked on the red carpet last night, "You get to be efficient at losing. The funny part is. . . it's actually a really nice group of guys. It's really fun. There isn't any sort of weirdness, there isn't any competitiveness. I know people love to pit people against each other, but that isn't really what's going on."

George Clooney and his The Descendants director Alexander Payne sat down for a "TimesTalks" interview with New York Times journalist David Carr in LA yesterday. It was George's latest press stop as he makes the rounds to discuss his, and the movie's, many Oscar nominations. George is up for a best actor statue at the Academy Awards, which will take place later this month on Feb. 26.
