Recap – Beefeater 24 hosts the annual BAFTA LA Tea Party

1755

Julianne Moore spent much of the afternoon with designer turned director Tom Ford. The two arrived at the party together and worked the room side by side.

A crowd always seemed to follow Paul McCartney, who spent much of the night chatting with Jane Fonda. he even introduced her to his new girlfriend. Later Quentin Tarantino joined them, along with Eli Roth. The group didn’t even seem to notice the huge crowd watching them.

Hollywood veteran and Golden Globe winner Helen Mirren chatted about “the biz” with Golden Globe nominee and rising star Anna Kendrick.

Alison Brie and Jeremy Renner were seen flirting by the buffet. The two were laughing and chatting together while Jeremy had his hand on the small of Alison’s back.

Though they spent most of the afternoon together, Ed Westwick did find himself separated from his “Gossip Girl” leading lady, Jessica Szohr and quickly tried to spot her among the crowd. when he finally found her again he went straight up to her, grabbed her and gave her a kiss. the two were also seen chatting with Kevin McHale of Glee.

Though Joshua Jackson did admit to some fellow guests that his “German is terrible,” it doesn’t seem to be affecting his relationship with girlfriend Diane Kruger. The two couldn’t keep their hands off each other! Before entering the party, Joshua grabbed Diane and kissed her on the neck while she giggled. Inside, the two were seen sitting together and an otherwise empty table. She would scratch his beard, touch his leg. they seemed very much in love!

Olivia William stole her guest’s Beefeater London 24 cocktail and poured it into her own glass.

Rachael Harris told Quentin Tarantino how much she loved Inglorious Basterds, while Emily Blunt was overheard saying how “Up” was her favorite movie this year.

Alison Brie sipped on a Beefeater London 24 cocktail while scoping out the party. Her fellow cast member from Mad Men, Rich Sommer, stopped by to tell her “I love your show (Community). I never miss an episode!”
