Video: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the BAFTA red carpet

I love, love, LOVE this video clip of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the BAFTA red carpet.

First of all, kudos to the interviewer. I would like to forward the link to a handful of American interviewers who don’t handle the red carpet slots as well as he did. He avoided personal questions about their kids, what they ate for breakfast that morning, how on earth they got ready with all those kids at home, their love for each other, and all the other nonsense that makes for a great magazine or TV show interview – but inappropriate for a minute or so on the red carpet!

I laughed when he asked them to comment on each other’s performance and Brad got all flustered – it was particularly amusing that Angelina had a great, eloquent answer and Brad was embarrassed that her response was better than his!

They were also asked for their thoughts on the big competition, Slumdog Millionaire and they both agreed that it’s a fantastic movie, and Angelina was especially moved by the parts where the characters are children living in the streets, and mentioned that it was very accurate as far as depicting the slum areas of India.

Great, brief interview!

While neither Brad nor Angelina won a BAFTA, I have been told that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button did win a few awards, although not for best movie. I haven’t been able to find a solid answer as to which ones it did win, though I’m assuming that they were probably technical awards. I’ll update this post once I know for sure!

(Thank you to everyone who emailed me with the link to the video of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the BAFTA red carpet!)
