BAFTA Rolls Along...

The Guardian is live-blogging the event from inside the theater.

Oh, how I have live-blogging.

It's funny... when I talk to people about Blu-ray BD-Live features, like IMing during a synced movie, they almost always get a vomitty look on their face. But for me, I consider that in that case, kids have almost invariably seen the film over and over again on the Blu-ray or regular DVD and that the interaction is, indeed, of some value. Like a director’s commentary, it is a chance to discuss what has already been consumed or to be distracted when the film is not that interesting.

But to see a film the first time with a director’s commentary on… or IMing… or live-blogging?

Not for me.

Still, in this case, with the BAFTA ceremony tape-delayed on BBC America by 4 hours – for no good reason – this is a source of not only the information, but the color. But like a DVRed show, it is better to click in mid-show, so you don’t have to wait for everything to happen.

I don’t want to spoil any of it for anyone who cares, so I will pass on comment until this evening,not even making any minor puns, since this year, it is too easy to give away almost all of the answers with a word or three.

I think it is a good choice for everyone to assume that COMMENTS WILL INCLUDE SPOILERS… so if you want to stay pure, stay out for now…
