The Baftas are typically the more serious of awards season but Emilia Clarke and Vanessa Kirby were all about letting loose backstage.
After presenting an award on-stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the actresses took part in what was intended to be a sophisticated photo shoot but ended up with Emilia and Vanessa pulling silly poses.
In one snap, The Crown star Vanessa, 31, playfully backs her bum into Emilia’s lap while another candid shot sees them both in fits of laughter.
Anyone else have FOMO?
They did eventually manage to pull a slightly more serious pose in another photo but Emilia looked as though she was struggling to hold it in.
Earlier in the night, the actresses shared the stage to present the award for special visual effects and they couldn’t help but dish a bit of banter to lighten the mood.
Emilia, 33, gave a nod to her former hit show Game of Thrones, joking it was cheaper to use ‘real dragons’ than splash out on snazzy special effects.
However, Vanessa seemed to miss the punchline and after an awkward few seconds, laughed as the penny dropped.
The actress, who used to play Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown, then struggled to pronounce ‘SFX’ but took the stumble on the chin, admitting: ‘I knew I was going to get that wrong.’
Emilia and Vanessa presented the special visual effects award to Sam Mendes’ World War I epic 1917, which swept the board with seven wins.
It also scooped best film after fending off competition from Joker, The Irishman, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Parasite.
Sam took home best director, while the film also won sound, best cinematography and production design.
Margot Robbie was nominated for best supporting actress twice but missed out to Laura Dern, who won for her performance in Marriage Story. Renee Zellweger was crowned best actress for portraying the late Judy Garland in the biopic Judy.
Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for his compelling performance in Joker, and used his acceptance speech to highlight systemic racism within the movie industry after the Baftas failed to nominate a single non-white actor in the main acting categories.
