UPDATE 11/2/2013: FSWL would like to congratulate Sam Mendes, Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, John Logan (to the Outstanding British Film Award) and Thomas Newman (Original Music), you have all rocked our world!
Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper presented the Outstanding British Film Award. Producer Michael G. Wilson noted it was a first for the Bond films. Director Sam Mendes said the prize really is the “icing on the cake” of the film's worldwide success and thanked Ian Fleming and Daniel Craig in particular, adding: "We built the movie around Daniel and I want to thank him for his bravery, brilliance and sheer bloody-mindedness”.
