is the ceremony’s equivalent of the Best Picture Oscar.
Greg Kinnear, who plays stressed dad Richard in the film, expressed his
Oscar hopes as he accepted the prize.
He said: ‘I think we feel good. An Oscar would mean a great deal to us.
Making a movie isn’t always a great experience, that’s the facts. But this
really was a remarkable experience.’
British actress Dame Helen Mirren picked up two gongs on the night, Female
Actor in a Leading Role for her performance in ‘The Queen’ and Female Actor
in a TV Movie or Mini-series for ‘Elizabeth I’.
As she accepted her award for ‘The Queen’, Mirren confessed she was
initially not keen on playing Elizabeth II.
She quipped: ‘I saw those terrible shoes and tweed skirts laid out in a row
and I cried.’
Jennifer Hudson walked away with the award for Female Actor in a Supporting
Role for her performance in ‘Dreamgirls’, while Forest Whitaker claimed the
Male Actor in a Leading Role prize for ‘Last King Of Scotland’.

award.’
Julie Andrews was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
