Oscar winner Denzel Washington finally picked up the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film while fellow thesp Kate Winslet was deemed British Artist of the Year. Joining them as the honorees were "Casino Royale" helmer Martin Campbell and New Zealand-born British screenwriter Richard Curtis, who accepted the John Schlesinger Award for Excellence in Directing and Humanitarian Award, respectively.

"It feels good, it's a very prestigious group of people I'll be standing next to in there so it's good to be among that group." Washington remarked before the ceremony. "I've spent a lot of time in England, in London in particular, and I love the country so to be recognised is a great honor."

Other celebrated names also stepped out for the night to salute the award recipients at this special occasion, in the same time undeniably giving much more highlights to the event.
