The 38th London Film Critics’ Circle Film Awards Ceremony (Film)
The 38th London Film Critics’ Circle Awards, held on Sunday January 28th, 2018 at the Mayfair Hotel, was a glittering and glamorous affair where the Critics’ Circle gave out their awards to stars of all ages, and most were on hand to receive them.
‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri’ was the big winner on the night, taking the coveted Film of the Year, along with Best Screenplay and lead Frances McDormand won Best Actress, however she was not in attendance.
Hugh Grant, winner of Best Supporting Actor for ‘Paddington 2’ was comedic in his approach on accepting his award; ‘First there was Brexit, and then Trump, and now this’ he wryly commented.
Lesley Manville was also there to accept her Best Supporting Actress awards for ‘Phantom Thread.’ But the nights’ biggest, and most important speech, was given by Kate Winslet, who was presented, by Jude Law, with the Dilys Powell Award, the Critics’ Circle highest career-achievement honor.
