I've been lurking in this thread for a while and wanted to say hi. I'm a romance writer...glommed onto Michael to stimulate my own creative process, and now I've become hooked on him as a fan. I've lurked at a few places but I like the tone of this place best so I hope to stick around.

I'm also in Atlanta and wondering if Twelve Years a Slave will be filmed here...possible Michael-stalking opportunities. :graucho::D

My BAFTA experience was lots of fun, but sans Fassbender. The only famous Ginger I saw this weekend was Prince Harry when he left BAFTA on Friday and that guy is super fast when it comes to jumping in a car. Jeez!

Yesterday morning my colleagues and I went quickly on stage and I noticed that they had changed the seating area and that Michael had been moved to stage right. I believe his seat was on the 4th or 5th row. I was also surprised to see that Brad Pitt was sat one row behind Daniel Radcliffe and Penelope Cruz. WTF?

During the recording I was mostly backstage so the only people I saw where the winners and the presenters of those awards. When Pitch Black Heist won best short I screamed YES!! and I slapped the guy sitting next to me on the shoulder. He must have thought I was completely mental.

As the evening went by it was becoming quite apparent that The Artist was taking over the BAFTAS. It's an amazing film, but there were lots of other great (British) films out there as well. They could have devided the awards a bit better.

To my huge surprise Dujardin ran off with the BAFTA, something I didn't expect at all. I had thought that only Oldman would have been able to beat Michael. Guess I was wrong and I wasn't the only one. People backstage were a bit shocked that Dujardin was the winner instead of ‘The Bender’ as some chaps called him. I nearly bumped into Jean on my way to the main stage, and I couldn't help but think that it should have been Michael.

As soon as I walked on stage I tried to find Fassy in the crowd. I couldn't find him. I did see Ian Canning and Emile Sherman, but no sign of Michael or Steve. I looked over to the other side and I saw Pitt and Clooney chatting together, but no Fassy. Perhaps he and Steve had left early or they were chatting to people in the back.

As the winners were asked to come back on stage for the winners group shot, I felt a little disappointed that some handsome French guy was standing where a hot German-Irish guy should have been standing. But then Film God aka Martin Scorsese gave a smile and I that made my night.

I have some crappy pics taken backstage if anyone wants to see them. No pics of Pitt or Scorsese, because I couldn't take pics on stage.

Oh and let me repeat: Michael Fassbender is NOT short! The same cannot be said for Daniel Radcliff. I nearly backed into him on stage during rehearsals. He was wearing brogues with 1inch soles and he was still tiny and very skinny.

I can vouch. When we met briefly we were nearly eye level (and im short) Nice guy though :smile1:

Here is a story from the night from a fan:
The day Michael Fassbender hugged me

I first met Michael Fassbender (who, if it hasn’t been obvious enough, it’s not only my favourite actor but also someone I like to - jokingly ;) - refer to as ‘my future husband’) at the A Dangerous Method London premiere last October. I took a small poster that said ‘You transfix me quite’ (my favourite quote from Jane Eyre). He thought it was very funny and that’s why I ended up talking to him for longer than normal. I asked to take a picture with him but he said that unfortunately there wasn’t time, so then I lost my dignity and said “Can I get a hug, a handshake, anything?!”. Fassy, being the sweet gentleman he is, smiled and reached for my hand, held it for a bit, winked and carried on. But as he signed autographs for two other people he kept turning back and smiling for a picture my friend was taking, without either of us even realising it at the time. :)

So basically, it was perfect and I knew no other meeting would be perfect enough.

But hello, BAFTA Awards.

After a night in the FREEZING streets (I never felt so cold in my entire life), we got a pretty awesome spot in the red carpet. But it was SO crowded that I started worrying I wouldn’t even see him. And then, there he was, waiting to be interviewed, across the carpet from me. So I started yelling “MICHAEL!” and as soon as he turned, showed him my poster - the same one as before (‘You transfix me quite’). He smiled and winked at me. I assumed that was it, and was happy.

And then, some 15 minutes later, I see Fassy walking in my direction. Not coming back to sign autographs (he hadn’t signed any before), but walking straight to me. He just stopped in front of me and smiled (as I freaked out, of course). He signed my book while I probably said some nonsense and then I added: “Can I hug you?” and he just said “Of course”, and went for it. And I just stood there hugging Fassy in complete disbelief that it was happening. Then I told him he had made my entire year and he was so sweet, just smiling and saying that he really appreciated it. Then I asked to take a picture and again he said ‘of course’ (no talk of not having time whatsoever!) and I just put my arm around his shoulder and he did the same and the picture is so perfect and I cannot believe it really happened.

Only after all that (ah, I also mentioned that this was the best birthday present ever as my birthday was on Friday and he wished me a late Happy Birthday) did he start giving other people autographs - with my pen. After a few he was told to leave and asked around ‘Whose is this again?’ and I joked ‘Mine, your crazy fan’s!’ and he just smiled and said ‘No, not at all!’.

So yeah. Michael Fassbender is perfect, in case anyone had any doubts. And I’m the happiest girl in the world today. I can’t believe he did all that. And with that perfect shark smile of his.

What a great story!! It brings a smile to my face. I'm glad that she didn't wait in vain in the cold. It was freezing out there with drizzle.

Don't know about you guys I'm a bit sad that the award season is over for the Fassbender. His next premiere is in June so we might be looking at a Fassbender free period for a while.

Yes, yes, I certainly will. I'm not an experienced star-finder though...if anyone has any tips, when the time gets closer, you'll have to share. :cool: I have several gals around here who I know will be my partners in crime.

So, has anyone seen that Fassbender and Fassbendering have been added to the Urban dictionary? Funny:

Fassbender:

1. (verb) An attempt to seduce or entice a female into an amorous or sexual situation; often facilitated through an intense, non-verbal stare. Derived from actor Michael Fassbender's powerful performance in the 2011 film Shame.

2. (adjective) To display the qualities of Fassbendering.
1. Last night was a total success - my buddy and I Fassbendered a couple of girls at the bar and woke up in their apartment.

2. Did you see the Fassbender look that handsome guy just gave me? I know who I'm going home with tonight...

I know for me, with Michael, it's always been all about the stare.

I was having a good laugh over the Fassantasies. What a tongue twister but I definitely have those.

My friends and I also coined the term Fassturbation, which is pretty self-explanatory. I was doing a lot of tweeting about it until people started unfollowing me. :laugh:

Hahaha well let's not use the word "stalk". I've read some real doozeys from fans trying to meet their favorite celeb 0o

His award season may not be totally over. There's still a chance that he'll make an appearance at the Independent Spirit Awards. Shame is nominated for Best Foreign Film, I believe.


He looks so much like his father.
