If BAFTA's still this embarrassed about video gaming, perhaps it ought to just give up on the whole thing?
This is Athlete. They are someone at BAFTA's favourite band, despite churning out really dull electro dirge.
That's Charlie Simpson from Busted, although his press people would prefer it if he was called Charlie Simpson from Fightstar.
Not only do we know lots about youth culture and pop music as illustrated by the above two captions, we can also recognise Dom Jolly from off the telly.
Obviously we have selectively edited the material. BAFTA sent out 9 photos of game developers and publishers, compared to 11 photos of celebrity guests. Three of the developer shots were of Will Wright, though, so technically there were only 7 game pics.
That's Gareth Gates, who hasn't got much to do these days other than sit at home playing Miles' Football Manager.
Men from Hollyoaks. The one on the left got to kiss a quite pretty girl for a while, but then she tried to murder him. The one on the right is the gormless one who's unlucky in love and only gets rubbish comedy storylines about ill-fated business ventures.
Peter Serafinowicz, who is quite popular at the moment with people who have the ability to laugh at other peoples jokes.
Uh-oh. Dom Jolly has resorted to a "comedic point." His career is over.
This is Remi Nicole. We will be honest and say we have no idea who she is, plus she's not pretty enough to bother Googling to find out.
Vic Reeves. Not currently developing anything for Xbox Live Arcade as far as we are aware.
Vicki Butler Henderson. We have supplied this image in clickable high-resolution, just in case you want to analyse her in close-up detail. We are hopeful this will result in significant Google traffic.
And this is why BAFTA mostly sent out celebrity photos.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Incidentally, discovered a new woamn to obsess over instead of the increasingly ropy looking Booth, Anna Fowler. Goodness me.

Honestly, I'm not trying to sound horrible, I just thought it was a man pretending to be funny and pulling a stunt and that was why you put it up as a full resolution pic.

Well Done.
Shame to see Dom Jolly as a right tubber now...
Also, get Blogger to fix their tab order; when I put my username and press tab, it takes me UP, and highlights the Disabled symbol. I find this highly offensive.
No really, I've forgotten the definition of ironic...
