The Empire magazine film awards took place last night, where the winners are picked exclusively by the fans and the readers. What this usually means is that the films that have thus far been garnering huge amounts of praise will be kicked aside in favour of the bigger, ballsier blockbusters. This year is no different:
Best Film
AvatarBest Director
James Cameron
Best Thriller
Sherlock HolmesBest Horror
Let The Right One InBest Comedy
In The LoopBest Sci-fi
Star TrekBest Actor
Christoph Waltz
Inglourious BasterdsBest Actress
Zoe Saldana
AvatarBest Newcomer
Aaron Johnson
Nowhere Boy Best British Film
Harry BrownEmpire Icon
Sir Ian McKellen
Empire Inspiration
Andy Serkis
Empire Hero
Jude Law
Outstanding Contribution To British Cinema
Ray Winstone
To be fair, it is about bloody time
In The Loop won something, having missed out on both a BAFTA and an Oscar. Christoph Waltz seems to have cleaned up at every awards ceremony there is.
