Jameson Empire Awards 2015
by Joanna Orland
On Sunday March 29th, the 2015 Jameson Empire Awards hosted a star-studded ceremony at Grosvenor House in Mayfair. More casual than other industry ceremonies such as The Oscars or the BAFTAs, the stars were nonetheless in abundance as they walked down the red carpet to attend the awards ceremony voted for by Empire magazine readers.
Some of the famous names in attendance, but to mention a few, included much of the Game of Thrones cast, Andy Serkis, Jessica Chastain, Henry Cavill, Mark Strong, Christopher Nolan, Karen Gillan, Simon Pegg, Simon Bird and Ralph Fiennes who was donned with the Empire Legend award.
