February 2012 Archives

Film buff insomniacs / night owls can watch the whole thing live on Sky Premiere from 1.30am on Sunday night / Monday morning hosted by Billy Crystal.

Or Sky+ it at breakfast to watch the best comedy bits / most blabbing speeches / worst dresses etc.

It's bound to have all the fun of the fair.
