"Thank you very much the readers of Empire for voting for me. I'd like to thank Anton for giving me such an incredible opportunity and Harry, James, Craig and Joe and Samantha and, of course, Alexandra, for making my first experience so enjoyable and I hope that I'll be working with some of you again or for the first time. You can tell I'm nervous, thank you very much."
What Empire Said
"Just as those films made stars of their young leads - Albert Finney, Rita Tushingham and Tom Courtenay respectively - so Control acts as an impressive calling card for its star, newcomer Sam Riley." Read more...

Best Comedy
Hot Fuzz

(L-R) Nick Frost, director Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg
Exclusive VideoBest Comedy winners for Hot Fuzz: Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar WrightThe Acceptance Speech
Edgar Wright
"Thank you very much. I guess the only problem with this is that Hot Fuzz was meant to be deadly serious so we obviously failed on that account. One thing, I'd like to thank Empire magazine and the readers as well. It's been a really nice year for us, for them to put us on the cover alongside Jason Bourne and John McClane, and to be here now. And to thank the readers for clicking their mouses or mice."
Simon Pegg
"Thank you very much. Thank you to the readers. And Run Fat Boy Run was good. So thank you to everyone involved in the film and Working Title and our amazing cast and what a nice way to start the evening so thank you very much indeed."
What Empire Said
"Even without the inspired idea of Shaun Of The Dead it’s an easy match for laughs, and marks Nick Frost as a vital part of this team’s appeal. The boys (now in blue) have done it again." Read more...
Also Nominated
Superbad
Knocked Up
Ratatouille
Run Fat Boy Run

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
"Good evening. It's a great honour for us to receive this award tonight. I want to thank Empire and its readers and also I would like to thank Mr Danny Boyle for his inspiration, he trusted me to make this movie so I'm happy for that. I would like to thank as well, the producers of this movie, Andrew McDonald, Enrique Lopez Lavigne, Allon Reich and Alex Garland for making this journey possible, Thank you very much."
What Empire Said
"Bigger action, more amazing deserted (and devastated) London sequences and biting contemporary relevance, if a touch less heart than the original." Read more...

30 Days Of Night
Saw IV
Death Proof
1408

Best Thriller
American Gangster


The Acceptance Speech
Chiwitel Ejiofor
"I'm thrilled to accept this award on behalf of Ridley Scott and American Gangster. It was a great film to be part of, as you all know his visual style is just extraordinary and Steven Zaillian on the script just made it into an extraordinary epic. So I'll make sure he gets this. Thank you very much."
What Empire Said
"An entertaining romp through familiar cop-and-crim cat-and-mousery, bolstered by strong star turns from Washington and Crowe." Read more...
