#bafta 2016

And we are back in 2016 ✨

Rough seas on the ship last week, but most of us are still happily sipping our umbrella cocktails on the lido deck. And, because of that, and @minny5ca2018, we have good news!

Thanks to our fRiEnDs, on the other side of the fandom, we found a little nugget that we would like to share with you!

The clip in question was intended to highlight Cait kissing her PA then “boyfriend”, A.G. McGill, as she stood up from her group’s table to go accept her 2016 BAFTA for Best Actress in a TV Series. Except...she didn’t kiss her PA “boyfriend.” Instead, she kissed...<<<drumroll please>>>

...Sam Heughan.

The above clip was taken from a wide shot, just after Cait was announced, on this video (see 0:18-0:28):

To highlight how Ashley and I came to this conclusion, we’ve posted some screenshots of the video and the closeup video clip below—

Just as Cait is standing up, and leaning in to the man on her left (Sam, not Tony), the lights flash erratically. Result? A perfect spotlight for what seems to be a lip-to-lip, congratulatory smooch. 💋

Wide shot from OL Russia video (linked just above)—

Closeup of wide shot above—

Cait is seen standing up, Sam directly to her left (more on that later)—

Cait seen leaning in for a face-to-face with Sam (note the difference in hair color between the two men)—

Looking for more? After Cait leans down for her facial tête-à-tête with Sam, she walks around behind him, as he stands. When he stands, those pesky, bright, erratic lights catch the side of his head, complete with auburn-colored hair and extra length curled around his left ear.

Looks familiar to me! Much like this—

Vs. this—

If you are still questioning this, please review the first clip provided, above, about 20 more times, and it will all make sense. Promise!

Another interesting detail we found in the whole video (OL Russia - posted just above), Cait’s name was called, she stood up, leaned over, gave Sam a kiss, walked behind Sam towards the stage, and right past Tony (on Sam’s left) without a thought. (To see it, you have to watch very carefully on the wide shot for the stand/lean/kiss/walk around, then the the close-up cuts in of Cait beginning to walk up to the stage. That’s when she walks past Tony and Duncan.)

And, before you come at us with a hypothetical, “She would never do that in public!”...1) Videos don’t lie, 2) Until the light flashed on them the the exact 👏 perfect 👏 moment 👏 it was über dark in that room, and 3) We’re pretty sure they gave zero fucks on a night like that, in fact...

...this looks like the face of a man who is done. Done with the games, the drama, and the hiding. Too bad we are still here five years later. 😑

———————————————————————

Now, next order of business... As seen in this official table pic 👇, Sam is sitting at the back of the table, but...wait...Cait was just sitting there...🤔🤨 Seems there was a quick game of musical chairs that went on during Cait’s [cait]walk to the stage.

(Blocked out a couple faces for a certain blogger. She knows who she is.)

More musical chairs! After Cait finished her speech, the wide shot takes over, and you can see Sam has vacated Cait’s seat, moved back over to his original seat, to the right of Tony.
