Reese Witherspoon wasn’t the only American sweetheart to invade the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards on Nov. 1 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. 1.

Kate Winslet picked up British artist of the year honors from a jazz-hands Witherspoon, who threatened that Winslet’s impression of her had “better not see the light of day!”
