Some 300 guests gathered at Windsor Castle on Thursday (April 4) to honour the achievements of those working in the British film industry.
One of those present was no other than Britain's very own Queen Elizabeth, who hosted the event at her home.
The 86-year-old monarch's performance as a "Bond girl" alongside Daniel Craig in last year's summer Olympics opening ceremony had impressed many, said actor Kenneth Branagh.
SOUNDBITE: Actor, Kenneth Branagh, saying (in English):
"Several of my colleagues here tonight want you to know that should you wish to venture further into the world of British film that they have a number of scripts with them this evening with some marvellous parts for you."
The unlikely actress was then awarded one of the country's most prestigious entertainment honours for her continuous support of the film industry.
