Empire Awards Interviews, Screencaps
Sunday night’s Empire Awards wasn’t all about Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean. There happened to be a few other phenomenal actors there as well. I linked last time to the great Empire interviews at the awards ceremony, conducted with good humor by Chris Hewitt. Now here are a few screencaps from the interviews so you get a better look at the stars that attended, and had their fill–literally–of the Jameson’s sponsored Empire Awards.
That’s Gerard Butler up above, star of 300, The Phantom of the Opera, and the Empire Award winner RocknRolla.
Up next we have Helena Bonham Carter, winner of the Best Actress Empire Award for Sweeney Todd.
The lovely Best Newcomer Award nominee, Jim Sturgess of 21, The Other Boleyn Girl, and Across the Universe.
We also had Tom Felton, looking a lot less evil than his onscreen counterpart, Draco Malfoy of Harry Potter.
Also the complete opposite of his Harry Potter character, Lucius Malfoy, the amiable Jason Isaacs. Incidentally, Isaacs recently presented an award to Empire Award Icon winner Viggo Mortensen at the Chicago Film Festival.
Empire Award Best Newcomer winner Gemma Arterton, of Quantum of Solace and RocknRolla.
The ever-adorable James McAvoy, who won the Empire Award for best Sci-fi/Superhero for Wanted. Presented the award by the equally adorable Bambi (Jamie Bamber), McAvoy said “Oh my god, I got an award from the CAG! Er, not everyone’s going to get that.” We fans of Bamber’s Battlestar Galactica get it, James, we get it!
Jim Sturgess with actress Olga Kurylenko, there to accept the Empire Award for Best Thriller for Quantum of Solace.
Another one of giggly Gerard Butler…
And the duo that were reportedly laughing themselves silly all night, Empire Award icon winner Viggo Mortensen and presenter Sean Bean. As you can see, the constantly laughing Viggo is moving too much to even get captured on film…
Hope you enjoyed a glimpse at the action and mirth at this year’s Empire Film Awards. Visit the Empire Awards home page for all the Awards gossip and more photos.
