	Still laughing at the reaction shot of Martin Freeman. I'm not part of the Sherlockian/Merlin fandoms at all but it seems pretty obvious that the showmakers didn't really expect to win against Downton Abbey or to mind losing to them. Because it's Downton Abbey. It's had international critical acclaim. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Who's the dude making a face in the second gif? Because I am quite tempted to think he is the coolest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's King Arthur from Merlin. I mean, the actor who plays him, but I can't remember his name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the tongue? No idea. The guy making the :[ is king arthur, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soc_puppet 2013-01-25 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, tongue guy. Frowny faces are amusing, but I'm more interested in someone who's potentially capable of laughing at himself and/or mocking his companions' bad attitudes. Of course, for either of those to be true he'd have to be involved in the show... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tongue guy is Alexander Vhalos, who played Mordred this season. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He is the king of ridiculous faces. Seriously, I spent the entire time he was on the series playing, "Spot Mordred's Ridiculous Face". (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I love how his companion (I have no idea who that is) is laughing at him in such a cold-blooded manner. (Though I'm sure it really just looks like that.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Likewise, oh gawd. And I used to think it was just fans who took these things too seriously! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think they were all making over the top 'upset' faces because people kept asking them to show their 'I lost face' at last years awards. So, it's a joke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soc_puppet 2013-01-25 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	Huh; that makes sense, I guess. I would've gone way more over the top myself, though. Maybe pull out a black veil and a handkerchief to "weep" into. Well, to each their own. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	rosehiptea 2013-01-25 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	That would explain a lot, then. I didn't really think these professionals were sitting around getting pissy at someone else winning an award but I did wonder... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yndigot 2013-01-26 03:47 am UTC (link)
	I believe Martin Freeman did genuinely make a delightfully pissy face when Sherlock lost an award to The Only Way Is Essex a few years ago, but Downton Abbey is a critically acclaimed drama and TOWIE is ... TOWIE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9rUwR53fvs (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosehiptea 2013-01-26 04:12 am UTC (link)
	Oh wow, thanks for that clip. That was a very sad and annoyed face he made. Benedict Cumberbatch (and a few other people) look pretty stunned too. (I live in the U.S. and to be honest this is the first time I've heard of The Only Way Is Essex. I gather it's not exactly the pinnacle of quality television.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yndigot 2013-01-26 04:26 am UTC (link)
	I don't follow any of them, but I gather TOWIE is in the same vein as something like The Hills or Laguna Beach? So ... yeah. I can kind of get being annoyed at losing to something like that. To be fair, though, I think it was a 'public vote' award, not a merit award. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Maybe I didn't watch for long enough, but his first reaction shot seemed more baffled than pissy... Not that I'd blame him for being cranky for losing out to that garbage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yndigot 2013-01-26 07:11 am UTC (link)
	I think there's only one reaction shot of his face (and one of Benedict Cumberbatch later on). Baffled definitely isn't the word I'd use to describe it, but to everyone their own interpretations. ^_^ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I'd say it was more along the lines of a mix of "What the hell" and "Are you kidding me", myself. Cumberbatch looked like he was thinking, "Yep, too many people have no taste."

And was it just me, or did the audience as a whole seem rather put out about TOWIE winning? The applause came across as rather disjointed and half-hearted; not counting the screaming, squeeing, and cheering of the winners themselves, of course.

	Nope, the crowd seemed to be just as 'WTF?' as Martin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That's what I meant. They were like, "Should I clap? It's not a good show but it did win, so I should probably clap." *clap* (pause) *clap* "Oh, now others are doing it better, I should too." *clap**clap* "The winners look happy, so I'll clap for their happiness. Oh, that makes the clapping much easier." *clap, clap, clap*

And I hope that makes sense to someone other than me.
