Oooh, fantastic! Thank you for these collections! 

Thank you so much REReader for this Cumberbatch/Hunter pictorial Oscar roundup!   I especially loved the one by the Huffpo Canada titled "Benedict Cumberbatch's Best Oscar 2015 Moments".  You're right that gal must be a full time Ben photo poster!!   

It's really hard to pick a favourite for me.  All of the ones of Sophie and Ben together are just so beautiful and the one of Graham and BC is wonderful. 

I love Sophie's dress - it is in one of my favourite colours (which looks great on her) and I think the style is very chic (and I actually think the style is much more elegantly glamorous, rather than "risque" as some papers are describing it).  I love the fact that they dressed to a style theme together co-ordinating their look, without it being too corny or overplayed.  

Both of them seemed relaxed and really enjoying themselves (maybe all the pressure was finally off for a while - a bit of respite from the rush of the wedding, awards and work lately).  They both have a lot to look forward to in their lives together.

And I love the fact that Ben's parents were able to be there as well.  They sure seemed proud as punch of him and all he has accomplished so far.   The selfie that Ben was taking of the four of them on the red carpet was just darling!!

I love the dress!! She's definitely the type for strong colors and it was sexy as hell.    I love it when pregnant women dress nicely, one has days feeling ugly and off often enough... And I absolutely loved the earrings!
The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the hair do, a bit too old fashioned for my likes.
They are most adorable together and clearly happy and enjoying having found each other. Personally I'm just not took much into demonstrative cuddling and kissing in front of the camera, that reminds me a bit too much of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes...
I never doubted they were happy and very much in love anyway.

You're all very welcome!

There are also a whole bunch of pieces showing photos of Benedict and Sophie kissing while they fill their car with gas, very sweet, but they look like pap photos to me, so I'm not bringing the links, because I'm mean that way.

Ben looked like he should have been walking round serving canopies and champagne off a silver platter...his outfit...

I thought the outfit was very James Bond! 

So did I REReader - classic Bond, James Bond... right down to the skinny bow tie.

I suppose this falls under Oscar coverage...and also every other award show this season: 

Benedict is 6 of E!Online's 58 Most Important Things That Happened During the 2015 Awards Season. (Only 6?) (Also, warning: The "article" is all gifs, so you might not consider the link mobile ready.)

My pleasure! I counted 6 mentions! #7, 41, 43, 50 (my fave!), 53, and 57.

Which means Benedict is more than 10% of their most important awards happenings!
