CUMBERBATCH. The other day I was complaining about the lack of any hot dudes this awards season. It’s not that I don’t find Hugh Jackman hot, or I’m not completely enchanted by Eddie Redmaye – I love both of them! It’s just that I miss having one big crush to get me through the awards season, like Michael Fassbender got me through last year’s awards. But I forgot about Cumby… he won’t be at the Oscars (??) unless we get really lucky, but we can enjoy him for Golden Globes weekend, right? These are pics of Cumby at the BAFTA event last night. He looks dashing and HOT. And can we please not have 30 comments about “Who is he? He’s not attractive.” He is Sherlock and he is FINE. Also: look at Cumby’s shoes! He has huge boat-feet. You know what that means (foot sex). PS… the girl is Lara Pulver, also known as Irene Adler. Are they dating? Or just posing together?
More pics of various hot dudes at the pre-Globes event this weekend… Simon Baker at the G’Day USA Black Tie Gala.
Eddie Redmayne at the BAFTA event – he’s such a snazzy dresser! I love him.
Ryan Kwanten at the G’Day USA Black Tie Gala. Is he wearing a leather tuxedo?
Did anyone ask for some Aussie beefcake? God, Hugh Jackman looks GREAT! He’s totally going to win tonight. Yay!

Wow Hugh gets better with age!!
Sigh and swooooon.
Eddie has amazing style, I can’t wait to see what he wears next.
He’s got the best stylist on the market, it would seem; needs a promotion.
Such a pretty man. Sigh.
A velvet jacket over a striped cardigan?
Love, love, love Hugh!!!!!! He’s got it all, baby!!!
I’d totally take him from behind. If you know what I mean 😉
She’ll latch on to anything for attention
OK look, I don’t know much about Lara Pulver (really how could anyone?) but I know enough to know there is a rather bizarre subset of “Once Upon a Time” fans who can’t seem to deal with the fact that the Prince Charming actor was MARRIED to Lara when he hooked up with the Snow White actress. It is not some perfect fairy tale; he was married and it is akward. So apologies Rll if this is not your motivation…but to anyone who is in that group…grow up!
Lovely pictures by the way, I’ll take them all to go please. 😉
I have no idea what Once upon a time is except as the first line of Cinderella etc
nah. she’s dating that guy from Spooks.
I think my heart stopped…
I have to pick one? Based on these photos, Hugh. But I will take anyone’s sloppy seconds in this round.
I love that The Batch paired his tailored suit and dynamite tie (!) with dress slip-ons and red striped socks.
Really, all – just *sigh*
+1.
Although I really can’t get on board with the monstrosities on Cumby’s feet. He looks like he’s wearing elf funeral slippers.
Eh, his feet are like the rest of him – lanky and narrow.
Try getting footwear when you have broad feet – it is a somewhat literal pain as you have to break the stupid things in.
Also, ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO WORK IN SHOE SHOPS! I am in my 30’s, I know what size shoe I take, stop bringing me the size down from that because you find it incomprehensible that I would have large, broad feet for my height. Seriously, that is really annoying and dismissive.
How many times do I have to say this? As many time as necessary Hugh can you freakin Jackme is the one I want. Followed closely by Baker and Redmayne.
Now let’s get to the men of the Golden Globes itself b/c there was definetely a lot of f_ckable men there last night.
Simon Baker!
He’s a bit lovely, but I also heard that he’s one of those actors who doesn’t wear deodorant. Therefore, no.
I’ll have Simon Baker for a starter, Cumberbatch for the main and a little bit of Eddie Redmayne for dessert, please 🙂
Hugh looks the best. None of the other men are bringing any HOT at all. I don’t get all the swooning over most of them. That Cumberbatch guy is not good looking in the face. If this guy was not an actor I really doubt anyone would take much notice of him walking down the street. But hey people need someone to elevate to heartthrob status.
Other then Hugh I like that Eddie dude.
Lol Lisa I agree with you. I just don’t see it, but watch out! You can’t go around making comments like that around these parts people are very into him.
I don’t get it either. I like his height, but that is about it. Redmayne always wears velvet it seems, but Simon Baker is cool. I’ve like him since LA Confidential.
He is scary looking. I dont get it AT ALL…not even a little
+1
If you’ve seen Sherlock, you’d get it. He’s not your typical heartthrob, but his voice and in live action he’s very attractive. He’s got a lot of angles in his facial structure that make him photograph weird.
Always Cumby. Even though he looks a little bit like a bank manager here. And, judging by the socks, a bank manager whose desk totes the sign “you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps.”
Ha!
Have you seen his socks with the tiny reindeer on them? They were cute as a button.
My fave socks of his are small polka–dotted. Somehow he makes these odd socks work.
@ EC,
I’m vaguely intrigued by your extensive knowledge of Cumby’s sock collection – can I assume there’s a tumblr on this?
BTW, Tumblr was totally awesome last night when Cumby didn’t win.
T. Fanty. That was brilliant.
@ T.Fanty,
Oh, crumpets! I just saw this. All right, I’ll confess that I look at some Cumby-tumblrs sometimes. Since it was Golden Globes night, I did. That’s where I saw the stripey socks, which reminded me of the reindeer socks, which recalled the polka-dot socks.
I can’t believe I just admitted that to you….I really shouldn’t know that much about anyone’s socks.
Vinnie!!!!!!
I love Eddie’s acting, that’s all I got.
oh, got into a huge shouting match w/my bestie about Cumberpatch…
uh, she loves him and was inviting me to watch a Sherlock marathon over her house and I declined. We argued because I do not agree that he is the sexist man on earth.
we’ve made up now. She threatened to withhold my xmas present, she was very serious…LOL
I love Cumberbatch as much as the next Celebitch, but I don’t think I’d go so far as to Xmas prezzie blackmail someone into liking him!
I’d just shake my head and feel sorry for you – seeing as you’re missing out on the Jaguar in a Cello voice :p
LOL, she was dead serious.
when I said “no thanks” all hell broke loose, hahaha.
Hugh and Simon look good!
What happened to Jason’s hair? Looks strange.
Eddie reminds me of a cross between Seth Myers and Dennis from it’s Always Sunny, and I can’t get past that.
Love me some Cumberbatch…
I don’t see the Eddie Redmayne sexiness so many do, though. I try but I just can’t.
Ok. I finally watched “Sherlock” and despite the fact that Benedict looks like an alien he is enigmatic.
This!!!
They are obviously a couple. Why on earth would she be in Los Angeles during awards weekend, she is not nominated for anything and she is not famous so she would’nt be invited. He had to have brought her. This is probably their “coming out” together as a couple weekend.
You are joking? So he’s photographed next to a colleague and they “must be a couple”? Come on.
Why would she be in LA you say? Well for a start she lives there with her BOYFRIEND.
And yes she does have a degree of fame and lastly, there are tons of actors at the tea party, regardless of nominations and what they’re promoting.
I don’t usually care to +1, but on this occasion its a +7 from me
LOL at them red striped socks and slipper shoes, Cumberbatch is all ready to get into his bathrobe later with a glass of scotch before going to bed.
Anyhoo, in an alternate universe I’d pick Jason Stackhouse and strip him off that leather suit only to spank the hell out of him with it! Oh dear, where am I going… #Shameless#
Simon Baker is cute with those glasses! My cousin had a huge crush on him whilst he was on that Oz TV show Heartbreak High.. Anyone watched it? Drazic, Anita, Nick… Loved that show!
Loved heartbreak high!
FYI a group of fans gave Cumberbatch those socks so it’s actually really really sweet (as well as quirky) that he is wearing them…
What’s up with Cumberbatch’s socks??
They were gifts from a group of fans; he’s notorious for not being the best at dressing himself (see: whatareyouwearingbenedict.tumblr.com)
I”ll take that sexy Aussie Hugh and some of that young Eddie Redmayne and then some Simon. Damn! all this international love and ass.
V4Re – don’t forget, the fish course should come before the beef so I suggest RedCarp then Hugh and Simon on the side.
Yes you’re right; your order is better.
Granted, there are men more handsome than Cumberbatch. But do they have his voice, that marvelous, thrumming, resonant instrument? The voice that sounds like hot caramel on ice cream, Kahlua with a bit of cream, flowing lava? The voice that haunts my dreams? (That voice used to belong to Alan Rickman, and occasionally makes an appearance, but Rickman is getting on in years, and Cumberbatch, well …)
Admit it. The looks are fine — I love his eyes — but it’s the voice, and the sharp intelligence, and the wit, that seduce a Celebitch and make her a Cumber-bitch. Or a Cumber-lassie. Or, in my case, a total Cumber-minx.
@ Booboocita
Wow—-your description of CumberCrumpet’s voice made my mouth water. It’s quiver-some, & no that’s not a real word. I’m just nominating it for a new word in a discussion of Cumby’s luscious voice.
I just heard another clip of his Alan Rickman impression & it was absolute perfection, with a side of velvet.
sigh…….Cumby…….
No, Ben and Lara are not dating, she is just leeching from his good moment.
Yes! Like she did with Andrew Scott (Moriarty) at the BAFTAs. Sucky leech person
And why not? She was a big part of what made that Sherlock episode so great, so I think it’s entirely apropos to let her share the credit and help her turn it into an opportunity. She totally deserves it.
@ PJ—I don’t see why she shouldn’t go to the Golden Globes with him. He’s nominated for Sherlock, & her part in Scandal in Belgravia was, I thought, perfection. She was believable as a woman who would intrigue Sherlock, & that’s pretty hard to do. If he wanted to bring a date, why not her?
Benedict’s socks were given to him by some of his fans, which makes them all the cuter and him all the sweeter for wearing them to a public event. He wins, hands down.
Just watched ‘Sherlock’ and he is GREAT! But no, he is not ‘FINE’. I still don’t want to tap that and I hated that version of Irene Adler. Bleh.
Also, I don’t want any of them. Another ‘Who Would You Rather’ bust.
I LOVE Cumberbatch, even though I do think he looks weird and alien-like.
In moving images he is totally mesmerising. Photos really don’t do him justice. When he was on Have I Got News For You I just couldn’t look away. (and that voice! Gah…) Love him most when his hair is reddish. Except in Atonement, because ugh.
His dress sense does absolutely nothing for me though. Except for the socks. Those are hilarious.
Glad you said Cumberbatch AND the hot guys.
Cumberbatch and Lara Pulver are NOT a couple! She has a boyfriend, I think Louise Brealey (Molly Hooper) is also in LA for the Globes.
Hugh, always Hugh.
I don’t get the Cumberbatch thing either. But to each his/her own.
Hugh looks great, as usual.
Since Hugh has a beard, it’d be cumberbatch for me
Love the socks. Matt smith wore wacky socks in a photo with cumberbatch last week. Love him.
They all look gay! I need to look at photos of country singers and burly men now…bring on Tom Hardy and Chris Young. Blech to all of these guys.
a homophobic and dumb comment
@ andy,
I don’t usually +1, but I’m making an exception in this case.
@ Heather, you sound 12.
I assume you are a troll Heather (seriously, who is Chris Young?).
In case you are not; you might want to read up a bit on Tom Hardy if you are sooo concerned about the *gay*. Mr. Hardy made some very interesting comments before Hollywood PR got to him.;-)
Sorry to shatter your illusions…wait no I’m not sorry at all.
@ Heather,
You need to go look at burly country singers now? Because these elegant dudes aren’t good enough?! Hahaha! You must have veered off into the wrong neighborhood. Turn your GPS back on, honey.
No, I’m not homophobic. But you’re probably insinuating that assuming gay men have style is not PC, and maybe you’re right.
Ladies, it was just a joke. The joke being that I like scruffy style more, but I guess everyone is a bit too defensive to take a comment lightly…since this is a post dedicated to looking at men, I think I can make comments on how they look. ANYWAY,
try not get your panties in a bunch over people’s comments, you’ll be mad all the time! Enjoy the Golden Globes.
Thank you for the update, Heather. I have unclenched.
How am I only just seeing this post?! Jaguar Holmes looks marvelous as always, as do Hugh and RedCarp but I have to express my love for Ryan, after Hemsworth and Hugh he’s my next favorite Aussie, ever since he played Vinnie in Home and Away. Thanks cb for giving my biscuits a thorough workout this week.
Where’s the man flesh? Not enough meat on display!
Cumberbatch and Hugh, in no particuar order.
And the pic of Cumberbatch does make them look like they’re a couple.
Or maybe just overly friendly. I’ll go with that.
Eddie Redmayne, Benedict and Simon Baker all look deformed and weird. They always look strange no matter what they are in or where they are.
The Cumberbatch needs to be seen in character in one of his tv shows/movies to be appreciated. Geez, just a few minutes of Sherlock had me in his love vise.
Well, I except Atonement, because he plays a skeevy character in that.
God I love Eddie and his suits!
So, I’ll take Simon, Eddie and a dash of Hugh in any order. Thanks very much!
I really don’t think it would be possibly to love Hugh Jackman anymore than I do. Wait, that’s not true, I would love him even more if we were both single and I could get him in my bed.
Eddie Redmayne is quite the snappy dresser. And his Blue Steel is the only Blue Steel I can take seriously.
He’s as cute as a bug’s ear!
Nope — Snazzy dresser or not, Eddie Redmayne still looks like a serial killer to me. Y’all can have him!
same. Except switch Eddie Redmayne with Ben Cumberwich. I will take Eddie with some whipped cream thanks!
Hah. I’m still kind of with you on that one, too. But I did watch series 1 of Sherlock,and Cumberbatch is pretty cute on the whole (mostly personality-wise) in that. So I’ll give him a pass. Previously I was always in the “I don’t get it/he looks like a creature feature” crowd.
Simon Baker is an insufferable dbag… for some reason he was in an ad for a bank in Australia but he was doing his American accent…. it was like… wtf, why?
So I guess there were no men of color at the event? It would be nice to get some variety in this post.
You are absolutely right. Specifically — ever since I had a “Luther” marathon recently, I want to see Idris Elba everywhere. And I’m not seeing him anywhere…
