I’m sure I could just write “Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter” here and this post would still get 300-plus comments, right? But I won’t do that! Benedict and Sophie made their SECOND red carpet couple-appearance last night at the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards. I have to say, the turnout at this event was pretty spectacular and rather A-list. When I was looking through the photos, I was happy to see how many people came out for it.

Benedict wasn’t nominated, he just came to present an award and (I suppose) to shill for his turn on the London stage next year in Hamlet. Plus, Benedict has ties to the London theatre community. As does Sophie! Remember, she’s some sort of avant-garde theatre writer/director… when she’s not starring in bizarre, half-naked music videos. Anyway… Sophie looks nice. The dress is Erdem, the same label she wore for her first red carpet with Cumberbatch. This dress is conservative, flattering, not really anything crazy or noteworthy (but I’m not the biggest Erdem fan, so there). I would have liked to see her do an elegant chignon for an evening event though.

Meanwhile, The Imitation Game had a stellar weekend in limited release (in NYC and LA), earning $482,000… in just four theaters. Variety had a glowing write-up about Harvey Weinstein’s strategy for pushing TIG, and Variety basically says that Harvey is pushing it like The Artist and The King’s Speech, with a slow-burn limited release in November/December, building to a wider release around Christmas. The game is all about momentum and apparently TIG has some serious momentum. MOAR BENDY.
