Empire magazine’s night of nights – the 25th Jameson Empire Awards – lit up London's Grosvenor House ballroom. There were speeches and songs, tears and laughter, winners, celebrations and revelry enough to make a dwarf rejoice. Which is handy because presiding over it all was Bofur himself, James Nesbitt, the returning host and master of ceremonies for a night that saw Interstellar, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Paddington and The Bababook claim prizes voted for by Empire readers.

Christopher Nolan was in attendance to collect Best Film for Interstellar and a special Empire Inspiration award for a nine-film career filled with breathtaking visuals and impactful storytelling. There were also wins for Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Andy Serkis, whose Best Actor award for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes was recognition of his groundbreaking performance-capture work.
