Alan Cumming to host BAFTA's Britannia Awards
Scottish actor Alan Cumming is to return for a fourth time as host of the 2012 Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., organizers announced.
Presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles, the event is to take place Nov. 7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"I'm so happy to be back hosting my fourth Britannia Awards," Cumming said in a statement. "It's 15 years since I first came to Hollywood and what better way to commemorate that than to be hosting a celebration of the best of British and Tinseltown. I'm excited to see old friends and raise a few glasses to the best in our business -- and be a bit mischievous too of course."
"We're so pleased that we were able to secure Alan to host this year's awards. We owe thanks to the producers of 'The Good Wife' who were kind enough to rearrange their production schedule to allow for Alan to be with us," said Britannia Chairman Nigel Lythgoe, referring to Cumming's television legal drama, which shoots in New York. "We're grateful that we can do justice to the extraordinary caliber of talent represented in this year's honorees with our esteemed host and presenters."
Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and Josh Gad will be among those presenting awards at this year's show.
The Britannia Awards are to be broadcast Nov. 11 on BBC America.

Peppard: See Alan Cumming’s *&%# Beautiful Two by Two encore
With his semi-regular appearance at Dallas’ Two by Two for AIDS and Art, Scottish singer-actor-director Alan Cumming gives more entertainment per pound than anyone since Judy Garland. Appearing as Eli Gold on the hit show The Good Wife, Cumming is a hot commodity. His act is not for the squeamish who mind jokes about vibrators. “That’s right, I said vibrator,” he told the Saturday night Two by Two crowd at the home of Cindy and Howard Rachofsky.
And his encore song, “Beautiful” did include one really profane word—repeated 28 times in less than two minutes. If you think that word might offend, don’t watch the attached video.
