Red carpet interview with David Morrissey at the EE Britsh Academy Film Awards in 2013.
CAROLINE FLACK: David Morrissey, how are you?
DAVID MORRISSEY: Very well, glad to be here; how are you?
Q. I'm a little bit cold but I am good. All the better for seeing you.
A. We need the sunny LA shows, they have the award ceremonies with the sun and we have it with the rain and the cold.
Q. Good to have seasons, though; right?
A. It makes us harder, yeah, it's good.
Q. Now, listen, you've got to tell me, who are you wearing tonight?
A. John Hill(?) tonight, so -- I wear a lot -- I've got a lot of their stuff, so, yeah, I'm very happy with their suits and that's what I am wearing tonight.
Q. What is the atmosphere like on the red carpet?
A. It is good, it is -- you know, we're complaining about the cold but the people here have been standing there for hours on end so, you know, I feel for them and -- they are so buzzed and jacked up about it, so it's great.
But it's fantastic. I've just met Dexter Fletcher, as I know you have, he's a great friend, so you do see friends and you don't recognise them because we're are all dressed up. Because you usually see them, like, with wooly hats on and a cold cup of tea in a car park somewhere, so, you know, to see everyone dressed up, it takes me a while just to recognise them.
Q. You are presenting an award tonight?
A. I am. I am presenting the Best Original Music with Paloma Faith and Paloma is going to do a set for us as well, at the beginning of the evening. So I am looking forward to that because I'm a big fan of hers as well.
Q. Yeah, should be good. And who is your top tip for a BAFTA this evening?
A. Well, it's a tough year, I think. You know, I mean, I don't know. I think -- I don't know, I'd love Dexter to win something because he's such a mate of mine. So, I don't know ...
Q. Good friends, right?
A. Daniel Day-Lewis is probably very up there as well. My favourite film of the year was Bavarian Sound Studio, which I loved. And it has been a great year for documentaries. McCullin I thought was a great documentary. Searching for Sugar Man as well was a great documentary. Really, really great.
Q. Have a great night, good luck presenting your award and see you very soon.
A. Keep warm.
Q. Thank you.
