The sexy Orlando Bloom was in attendance at the annual "Orange British Academy Film Awards" which took place in London yesterday. Not only was the lovely Orlando there, but also Hugh Laurie (House), Daniel Radcliffe, and a bearded Viggo Mortensen. I was so wrapped up in the Grammy's that I completely forgot about this one.Men have no stress when getting ready for an award show. Their formula is so easy!

Viggo Vs. Ryan?

Both actors attended the Toronto Film Festival showing off very different looks. Viggo Mortensen sported new facial hair while Ryan Gosling sported a few extra pounds. I actually like him at this weight. It makes him look more manly. Well, here is the questions - if you had to choose... who would it be???

New Stills From Eastern Promises With Naomi Watts And Viggo Mortensen

So happy to see Viggo Mortensen is working again. I SO enjoy him on the screen! :) Here is a lenghty synopsis of his new movie, Eastern Promises with Naomi Watts.---The new thriller re-teaming acclaimed director David Cronenberg with his A History of Violence leading man Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises is written by Steve Knight (Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of Dirty Pretty Things). As in the earlier film, director and star together explore the psyche, physicality, and fortunes of a man whose true nature may never be wholly revealed. The mysterious and charismatic Russian-born Nikolai Luzhin (Mr. Mortensen) is a driver for one of London's most notorious organized crime families of Eastern European origin. The family itself is part of the Vory V Zakone criminal brotherhood. Headed by Semyon (Academy Award nominee Armin Mueller-Stahl), whose courtly charm as the welcoming proprietor of the plush Trans-Siberian restaurant impeccably masks a cold and brutal core, the family's fortunes are tested by Semyon's volatile son and enforcer, Kirill (Vincent Cassel), who is more tightly bound to Nikolai than to his own father. But Nikolai's carefully maintained existence is jarred once he crosses paths at Christmastime with Anna Khitrova (Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts), a midwife at a North London hospital. Anna is deeply affected by the desperate situation of a young teenager who dies while giving birth to a baby.Anna resolves to try to trace the baby's lineage and relatives. The girl's personal diary also survives her; it is written in Russian, and Anna seeks answers in it. Anna's mother Helen (SinÃ©ad Cusack) does not discourage her, but Anna's irascible Russian-born uncle Stepan (Jerzy Skolimowski) urges caution. He is right to do so; by delving into the diary, Anna has accidentally unleashed the full fury of the Vory. With Semyon and Kirill closing ranks and Anna pressing her inquiries, Nikolai unexpectedly finds his loyalties divided. The family tightens its grip on him; who can, or should, he trust? Several lives - “ including his own - “ hang in the balance as a harrowing chain of murder, deceit, and retribution reverberates through the darkest corners of both the family and London itself.Click on the thumbnails to see more:
