"Yes, that's right. I'm wearing the big 'TF,'" joked Nick Hoult, as hearrived at the pre-BAFTA party hosted by Asprey on Saturday eveningat the brand's Bond Street store. He was referring, of course, to his new pal Tom Ford, the director of"A Single Man," in which Hoult plays a university student with a crushon his professor. Hoult has been nominated for the Orange Rising Star Award, whichwas to be announced at the BAFTAs in London the UK equivalent ofthe Oscars - on Sunday night. Acting in a Tom Ford film isn't all aboutthe fringe benefits. The makeup, for starters, is a drag. "I had to wear a lot of self tanner.They wanted me to look Californian, which I don't look at all normally.I'm really pale," he said. Other guests included fellow BAFTAnominees Colin Firth, Carey Mulligan, Vera Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibeand Kristin Scott Thomas. Scott Thomas, who was wearing Lanvin, mused on her hometown,Paris. "I couldn't live anywhere else," said the British native. "I like towork in London, but I love living in Paris. It's small, and beautiful."
