Yes, these are just awards for people we want to give awards to. And Colin Firth is back to present this one.
Firth: "You can take the winner of this award, take his work, chop it into little pieces and spin it in a barrel and it would be a clip reel to envy. I've been editing mine for years and it's still not fit for public viewing. I've admired his work for three decades now. Making Tinker, Tailor was like watching close-up magic. He's a leading man, a character actor, a comedian, a serious actor, humble actor and astronaut - he's not an astronaut, but I note that most of you didn't question it. He's the son of a welder, had a tough upbringing in London's New Cross - an upbringing portrayed in his so-far sole directing effort, Nil By Mouth. In terms of sheer versatility, how many actors can boast Dracula, Lee Harvey Oswald, Beethoven and The One With Chandler and Monica's Wedding on their resume? Nothing about him is predictable, except that he is a true gentleman and a true friend. Keep an eye out for the final clip for your first view of our Empire Icon as George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy."
AND THE WINNER IS...Gary Oldman
(Cue standing ovation as he makes his way to the stage)
Oldman: "Well this is very special, made all the more so receiving it from the hands of Mr Firth. We have just worked together, and not only is he a tremendous actor to work with, but an absolutely wonderful, blinding, darling bloke. Do you have one of these? Well, it's the only one you don't have. I look at that montage, and I think about all the directors that have cast me in these iconic roles over 30 years. Alex Cox for Sid and Nancy, who got the ball rolling. There's Coppola, Stone, Cuaron, Nolan, the Scott Brothers, and more recently Colin and I have had the good fortune to work with the great Tomas Alfredsen. It's a luminous list, and I acknowledge them and thank them, because they cast me and allowed me to have a long career, and to win one of these. I can't tell you how nice it feels to have your work honoured. I want to thank Jameson and Empire and the readers and the fans, and Ian Nathan for your generosity. You treat me like a prince. I am chuffed, I am very proud of this. And also, thank you Noomi: the Swedes have always had great taste!"
