DAILY RECORD

SCOTS Star James McAvoy is the toast of the movie world after being crowned Best Actor at the Empire Awards.

The actor won for his part as corrupt Edinburgh copper Bruce Robertson in the hit Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth and immediately paid tribute to fans for the award.

He said: “You’re faced with a quandary when you’re nominated for an award- do you come up with a speech or not? I’ve opted not, but I love you all.

“Thanks very much and get on ye!”

McAvoy who was controversially snubbed at this year’s BAFTA awards, where he was not even nominated despite winning huge acclaim for his performance in the film directed by Jon S. Baird.

The 34-year-old Glasgow born actor’s win adds to the British Independent Film Award he won in December, and he last night thanked the Empire readers for the latest honour.

Martin Freeman wins Empire Award best actor for performance in The Hobbit (THE INDEPENDENT)

Martin Freeman was the epitome of modesty as he overcame star competition to win best actor at the Jameson Empire Film Awards tonight.

“It's possible that my performance was not the best if the year,” he said of his performance in The Hobbit. “but I'll take it.”

Similar modesty came when Dame Helen Mirren was named an Empire “legend”. “I feel more of a leg-over than a legend,” she quipped. “I have been more in my career.”

Jennifer Lawrence won best actress and Sam Mendes was named both best director and the “inspiration” awards, held in the Grosvenor House Hotel.

Dame Helen Mirren Hints At Sam Mendes Sexism At Empire Awards 25 March 2013 (CONTACT MUSIC)

Oscar-winning alumni disappointed at Skyfall director's lack of female influences

Dame Helen Mirren doesn’t indulge herself in any sort of beef too often, so when she does you tend to listen, as it’s normally based on some pretty solid foundations. So what, then, of her Empire Awards acceptance speech, where she lambasted Sam Mendes, suggesting slightly cryptically that he might be sexist?

According to The Guardian, Mirren’s issue with the Skyfall director after he’d listed an exclusively male set of influences upon picking up his best director award on stage, neglecting any female film makers. When it came to Mirren to pick her Legend award, she took to the stage and said in her acceptance speech "I don't want to unduly pick on Sam Mendes, but when he spoke about his inspirations earlier this evening, I'm afraid not a single one of the people he mentioned was a woman.” Receiving cheers from the audience. "Hopefully in five or 10 years, when Sam's successor is collecting their Inspiration award, the list will be slightly more balanced in terms of its sexual make-up. In the meantime, this one is for the girls."
