Pleased to hear it won as well, genuinely one of my fave films of the year. The Times seems to have been fairly convinced it would, considering their prolific use of our minifigs in the BAFTA coverage in the paper yesterday!

Wow, I seemed like TLM was a big deal there, pretty nice newspaper front page if you ask me:)

Didn't find out till the end of the show, but a double fist pump from me upon finding out.

Well at least one of the awards ceremonies isn't a waste of space joke then.

I don't think TLM winning is that big a deal here. Sure, it won the BAFTA, but no-one is really talking about it. The big talking points are Theory of Everything and Boyhood winning numerous (important) awards, and The Imitation Game winning absolutely none. The Grand Budapest Hotel (which won most awards) is not being discussed much as they are pretty minor awards that it won. Animation comes way way below that.

@MinifigsMe I'd like to see a picture of the Lego actors (in character) clutching a Lego head bafta each for their performances.

Emmet - Best Actor
Wyldstyle - Best Actress
Lord Business - collects Best Wardrobe bafta on behalf of the team responsible for his cape, legs and that headgear.

And so on, just for a bit of fun! Could you oblige, please, pretty please?

MinifigsMe

@Lego_Star - that's a really good idea! I wish we'd thought to do that last night (though it was pretty late by the time it was announced). We'll get some more BAFTAs printed and do a little shoot tomorrow :)

^ that would be cool!

How about Vitruvius aka piano man receiving one for music ( he could maybe even get his hands on a grammy if kayne west isnt around ;-))
Bruce Wayne could be producer (he's got the cash)
That leaves Unikitty and Benny scooping the supporting awards
- Although I feel bad for bad cop then, any other ideas?
