Films are great, right? But what's better than films, or film award ceremonies? Getting drunk with film award ceremonies, that's what.
What better way to spend a Sunday night than to don a tux and rustle up some cocktails with the BAFTAs (on the BBC from 7pm). And if you really want to get into the BAFTA spirit, then make sure you definitely rustle up the Disaronno BAFTA Originale, the official drink of the awards.
