BAFTA held its annual mid-day celebration at The Maybourne Beverly Hills on Saturday, honoring both British nominees and non-Brits alike.
But the most popular pastime proved to be a claw machine sponsored by Delta and Virgin Atlantic, where guests could win a round trip flight to London — the line to play stretched across the party.

On Saturday, BAFTA honored both British nominees and non-Brits at its annual midday celebration at The Maybourne Beverly Hills. However, the Adolescence team was treated like royalty, with stars Ashley Walters, Owen Cooper, and Stephen Graham mingling with a steady stream of well-wishers. Graham, who also created the Netflix series, made it clear that the success hasn’t gone to his head by repeatedly refusing to be photographed alone, insisting that he be photographed with his costars and producers because “it’s a team sport.”. “”.
Participating in the event were Kathryn Hahn, Julianne Nicholson (who had already won an Emmy for guest actress in a comedy), Tramell Tillman, Patricia Arquette, Rashida Jones, Quinta Brunson, Ike Barinholtz, Sharon Horgan, Katherina LaNasa, Malin Akerman, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, and Noah Hawley. There were also a number of spreads of tea sandwiches, pastries, a tea and coffee bar, a champagne wall, and a wall where glasses were distributed by gloved hands. However, a claw machine sponsored by Virgin Atlantic and Delta proved to be the most popular activity. There was a line to play, and guests could win a round-trip ticket to London.
On Friday, the agency celebrated its nominated clients on the rooftop of the Waldorf Astoria, including Colman Domingo, Martin Short, Meghann Fahy, Keri Russell, Gwendoline Christie, Sharon Horgan, Tom Segura, Lionel Boyce, Dan Fogelman, Erin Foster, and Sara Foster. A spy inside saw Sirens nominee Fahy busy tending to a partygoer who appeared to be intoxicated as guests such as Sorry, Eva Victor from Baby, Monica Lewinsky from Twisted Tale, Anna Sawai from Shogun, Addison Rae, and several cast members from The Bear, including Gillian Jacobs, Matty Matheson, and Boyce, circulated. (Ayo Edebiri, the nominee, star, and director, is reportedly working abroad and will not be attending the festivities this weekend. Greg Daniels of The Paper, who caught up with former Office writer Lee Eisenberg, Alan Yang (who was in a conversation with producer Melvin Mar), Noah Hawley, Seth MacFarlane, Joanna Calo, Dave Bernad of The White Lotus, and, recently renewed for a second season, May Cobb and Rebecca Cutter of The Hunting Wives were among the party’s showrunner contingent. Along with WME co-chairmen Richard Weitz and Christian Muirhead, they all mingled with a crowded house of agents and executives, including Casey Bloys of HBO, Katherine Pope and Ravi Ahuja of Sony, Karey Burke of Disney, Peter Safran of DC Studio, Nick Grad of FX, Amy Reisenbach of CBS, Ginny Howe of Netflix, James Weaver of Point Grey, and Sam French of A24.
