On Sunday 4th December, the very best in British talent turned out for the 14th Moët British Independent Film Awards in London town. The star-studded ceremony, held at Old Billingsgate was hosted by actor/comedian Chris O’Dowd, and streamed live for the first time ever on LOVEFiLM.
Highlights of the awards included Lynne Ramsay picking up Best Director for the controversial We Need to Talk About Kevin, Michael Fassbender took home Best Actor for Shame, and I was so excited for Olivia Colman who won Best Actress for her stunning performance in this year’s big winner Tyrannosaur. The film’s director Paddy Considine was awarded The Douglas Hickox Award for Best Debut Director , and it also took home Best British Independent Film. It is a must see!
Two of our country’s most prestigious actors took home special awards; Ralph Fiennes recieved the coveted Richard Harris Award for outstanding contribution by an actor to British film, and Kenneth Branagh the Variety Award.
Joint Directors of The Moët British Independent Film Awards, Johanna von Fischer & Tessa Collinson said: “What a fantastic year for British film! This year’s nominees embodied a diverse range of genres and those walking away with awards tonight are representative of the high quality of outstanding talent we have in this country. Congratulations to them all.”
The awards were sponsored by Moët & Chandon, and all the stars that attended the ceremony supported ‘Toast for a Cause’, helping to raise thousands of pounds for their favourite charities by toasting with mini Moët & Chandon bottles! A great night for the British film industry!
