Male celebrities have to be sick of the sight of their tuxes by now - we're just two weeks away from the Oscars now - but they were back in them for the BAFTA awards last night.

Colin Firth did some great photo-bombing in the press room behind Meryl Streep, after presenting the Best Actress award to her on stage. He also saved her from embarrassment when her shoe fell off on the way to the podium.

Celebs: They have wardrobe malfunctions just like us… Theirs just happen to be in front of millions of people.

Ever the pro, Meryl just laughed and said, "That couldn't have gone worse!" - but at least she'll have the whole thing down for the Academy Awards.

The Artist picked up six awards at the ceremony, with Jean Dujardin beating Brit favourite Gary Oldman to the Best Actor category. Other nominees in the category, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, were also in attendance and looked predictably good in their suits, while relative newcomer to the A list, Michael Fassbender also looked as divine as expected. Swoon.

Captain America's Hayley Atwell was there too, presenting an award, but in a recent interview she accused the whole thing of being more than a bit sexist, as no women made it from the Rising Star award long list down to the short list. She told the Daily Telegraph:

"There were girls on the longlist and I think it's really odd that girls haven't made it where guys have.

"We'd hope that gender doesn't really come into it and it's about the body of work that they produce that year, but it seems that hasn't been the case."

Maybe next year there will be an all female shortlist? Yeah, definitely not holding my breath for that.
