BAFTAs 2012 – Red Carpet Interview with Eddie Redmayne

Q.	You are looking so dapper tonight!
A.	Thank you very much.  That's very kind.  It's cold, so I thought I would wear a warm velvet number.  Is it a bit much?

Q.	No, it's not too much.  Who are you wearing?
A.	It is made by Burberry, a guy called Christopher Bailey who very kindly made it for me.  It feels cosy and warm and watching all these incredibly beautiful women struggle in very flimsy looking beautiful dresses like yours -- yeah, how are you?

Q.	I'm brilliant, I've got secret leggings on.
A.	No one knows.

Q.	Everyone knows now!  This is a huge night for you, nominated for the Rising Star award,that must be an incredible feeling?
A.	Yeah, it is so weird, acting, you do -- you live a bit of a circus lifestyle, you are a bit of nomad, and you travel around the world doing all these things in little vacuums and then they come out and suddenly you are at award events like this and it is slightly overwhelming, but wonderful, and so I feel very lucky to be here.

Q.	My Week with Marilyn has been received so well, so many nominations, you must be over the moon?
A.	Do you know what, it was a really enjoyable job to make. We shot it at Pinewood Studios, at the studios where they had shot The Prince and the Showgirl, Michelle was in Marilyn Monroe's dressing room -- so it was an incredibly enjoyable shoot.  And often that makes a really awful film; the ones you really enjoy tend to be the ones -- so in this case it was really wonderful it ended up being a goody.

Q.	Eddie, good luck tonight.  We will have our fingers crossed for you.
