The Moët British Independent Film Awards Are Tonight! Watch It Live!

We’ve not really spoken too much about the Moet Independent Film Awards have we? Well, we’re going to now as they take place in London tonigh (Sunday 4th December). This event truly kicks off the 2011/ 2012 awards season for us, and it’s going to be a beauty.

We have high hopes for SENNA, TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, Gary Oldman (below in the aforementioned movie), DRIVE for foreign indie film, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN… We want them all to win really as there is such a fantastic short list this year.

The action all kicks off tonight at 8pm and the event will be hosted by the truly talented star of THE I.T. CROWD and this year’s BRIDESMAIDS, Chris O’Dowd. You can watch the whole thing live and exclusive through LOVEFiLM, with the build up kicking off at 6pm. We’ve embedded the stream below, so you can always check back just before 6, right here on this page to see it all unfold live!
