The Moet British Independent Film Awards

• 5th Dec 2011

This Sunday 4^th December at the Old Billingsgate Market the Moet British Independent Film Awards took place hosted by Irish actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd.

And it may be a case of the “Irish” are coming as lead and supporting acting awards went to Michael Fassbender for his turn in Steve McQueen’s Shame; and supporting honours went to Michael Smiley for his role in Ben Wheatley’s Kill List.

Awards were spread alroad though to various films – the only one that seemed to take most of the atttention was Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur (who may as well be Irish with a name like that).
