Ruth Jones at the BAFTA awards

I only saw the end of the BAFTA’s , waiting for ‘This City Is Ours’ to begin.

I realise why I don’t watch awards ceremonies, when the girl who won best actress waffled on, thanking the world and his wife, shedding tears, and just talked a lot of nonsense. I hoped she didn’t make whole thing over run, which thankfully it didn’t.

No, it made me smile. She only stayed in character for a couple of sentences anyway.

I enjoyed watching the awards this year.

I don't think they have to be "in character" & often aren't. There was a golden opportunity for Nessa's gag though & it was a good one- too good for Ruth pass by.
On the news 'cos it brightened a lot of people's mornings momentarily - what's not to like? I didn't watch the ceremony.

No. I could listen to Ruth Jones in Nessa mode for hours 😂

I must be the only one who hasn’t watched the comedy series , although I know the chap made it quite big in America

Because it was amusing, you need to watch the whole thing, hearing part of any sort of conversation and acting on it can be rather dodgy!

Oh I thought it was a brilliant touch and very funny.

I absolutely love all the awards ceremony, from the outfits, to the speeches, and the looks on the other nominees faces trying to look happy 😂😂😂😂

Me too!

No, it was funny and charming.

I thought it was wholly appropriate - after all, she won it for playing Nessa so being Nessa for a few seconds cemented her win.

Love Ruth Jones and love Nessa but I agree about the girl who won best actress. She was dire.

Couldn't disagree more OP, I didn't watch it but have googled the clip now and loved it.
Crackin'

I agree, it was an apt comment from her anyway.

I thought it was good, she quick witted and intelligent.
Well deserved award.

At least she wasn’t dressed like Nessa. 😂

What's wrong with the way Nessa dresses?
Very elegant 😁

I agree, nanaK54, Ruth Jones made the audience laugh by behaving in an unexpected way. Likewise Jessica Gunning with with her initial "Hello cheeky chops" comment to the statuette.

Her comment was funny and clever. Most of her speech wasn’t in character. So pleased she won the award.

Love RJ and her hilarious character. Nessa.

She really didn't expect to win, though. I recently binge watched Industry even though it's not the sort of thing I usually watch and hers was the standout performance in the series.

Gosh! She was in character for a minute’ and seeing she got the award for Ness, it was appropriate
