The cream of British independent film stepped out in London this evening for the annual Moët British Independent Film Awards. The gongs are now in their 14th year, and this evening were hosted by none other that Chris O’Dowd. The big winner on the night was TYRANNOSAUR, which picked up not only Best British Independent Film, but also nods for Paddy Considine for Best Debut Director, and Olivia Colman for Best Actress.
Best Actor went to Michael Fassbender for the upcoming SHAME, with supporting actor nods going to Michael Smiley for KILL LIST and Vanessa Redgrave for COROLIANUS. Best Director went to Lynne Ramsay for WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN – its only award on the night, with Best Foreign Film going to A SEPERATION. Best Documentary went to SENNA.
Here’s the list of the winners and nominees in full (winners in bold).
