Rogue One Wins Three Empire Awards… (Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director)
Best Film? And Actress? Jesus Christ, I liked Rogue One but I think that is a little much.
Aye, I thought Ken Loach would get the Best Director for ‘I, Daniel Blake’.
For Best Film it was against Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Arrival, La La Land, & Deadpool
For Best Actress, Felicity Jones was up against Natalie Portman (Jackie), Amy Adams (Arrival), Ruth Negga (Loving), Emma Stone (La La Land).
Good to see Rogue One pick up some awards and get some love - though I don’t really take these awards too seriously - often it’s one country favouring its own film industry over another country.
Although for the Empire Awards it is it’s own readers who vote for the winners.
