Anne-Marie Duff 'blown away' by Evening Standard Film Award

 

Anne-Marie Duff and Andy Serkis led the winners at the London Evening Standard British Film Awards for their work in two films inspired by pop.

 

Duff, 39, was named best actress for playing John Lennon's volatile mother in Sam Taylor-Wood's Nowhere Boy. Accepting the prize, she sent her love to husband James McAvoy.

 

 

“I'd really like to be Mrs McAvoy for a minute and say thank you for seriously having to live with a flame-haired broken hearted banjo player,” she said, referring to her role as Julia Lennon.

 

“Thank you for your support and always allowing me to take my work far too seriously, which I do.”

 

Serkis, 45, won best actor for his uncanny depiction of Ian Dury in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Before accepting his award Serkis threw himself down the stairs, as actresses, including Duff, had tripped when taking to the stage.

 

“F***, I really hurt myself, all in the name of art,” he said, and dedicated his award to Dury: “Ian wherever you are, this is for you.

 

 

Andy Serkis scooped the Best Actor title for his role as Ian Dury in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

 

At the awards, run in association with the London Film Museum, winners were cheered by stars including Eva Green, David Morrissey, Jenny Agutter, Jaime Winstone and Steve Coogan — as well as Gordon Brown's wife Sarah.

 

British cinema's rock'n'roll year celebrated in Evening Standard Film Awards

 

Fish Tank, Andrea Arnold's tale of a teenager on an Essex council estate, was named best film. Arnold, who lives in Greenwich, said: “I'm a Londoner so for ages I would read the reviews in the Standard and never think of reading my name.

 

Political satire In the Loop scooped best screenplay for a team led by Armando Iannucci.

 

And Terry Gilliam presented Sacha Baron Cohen with the comedy award for Brüno, saying: “If comedy is going to be useful, I think it should offend.”

 

 

Cohen said that while in his role as the Austrian fashion reporter, he had been chased through Jerusalem by angry Hasids, spent time in a cell in Milan, faced angry rednecks in Arkansas and simulated sex with a short Filipino man. “So I think I deserve this.”

 

Coldplay's Chris Martin presented Sacha Gervasi with best documentary prize for Anvil!, which recorded the trials of a Canadian heavy metal band.

 

 

And Nicolas Roeg, 81, took the Alexander Walker special award. Fellow directors including Stephen Daldry and Paul Greengrass applauded as Roeg asked for it to be a “half-life-time achievement” so he could make more films.

Chris is sung Frankenstein

 

EYE, eye! It's COLDPLAY's CHRIS MARTIN doing his very best impression of bug-eyed Igor from classic Seventies movie Young Frankenstein.

 

Lab fab ... Marty Feldman in film

 

Quite Frankly ... Chris Martin in Igor pose

 

 

 

The hooded singer, 32 - whose band had hits with The Scientist and Fix You - looked like a double of comedy star MARTY FELDMAN in the bizarre get-up.

 

Chris - married to Hollywood star GWYNETH PALTROW - was at the British Film Awards in London to present a gong for the best documentary to director SACHA GERVASI for his movie Anvil!

 

The rock star resumes his band's world tour in Argentina this month - as frontman, not Feldman!

Chris in the video

"and the award for...what's it called?...best documentary..." :D

Hahaha he looks like such a fucking gimp. What on earth posessed him to wear that attire. The dude can certainly afford some decent clothes. Even sex addict Steve Coogan made more of an effort.

The shoes. For heaven's sake, I'm sending this man some shoes.

Gorgeous!!! :wacky: Just what I needed. :pleased:

 

Thanks Mich. :kiss:
