London's Favourite French Film 2010 Award Ceremony - The results
The Ambassador dedicated the evening’s ceremony to the two recently deceased legendary filmmakers Claude Chabrol (Le Beau Serge, A man and a woman, Thank you for the chocolate) and Alain Corneau (Tous les matins du monde, Fear and Trembling), and concluded his speech with a quote by Jean Renoir:
1 | A Prophet (Un Prophète) |
2 | Coco before Chanel (Coco avant Chanel) |
3 | Mesrine: Killer Instinct (Mesrine: Instinct de mort) |
4 | Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One (Mesrine: Ennemi Public No1) |
5 | Micmacs (Micmacs à Tire-larigot) |
6 | The First Day of the Rest of Your Life (Le Premier Jour du reste de ta vie) |
7 | Taken 3 |
8 | Anything for her (Tout pour Elle) |
9 | Séraphine |
10 | Father of my children (Le Père de mes Enfants) |
After the distributors had collected the awards, it was the turn of the lucky FranceinLondon winners to get up on stage to receive their prizes, which included a One-week holiday for 4 in a luxury apartment in Paris St Germain-des-Pres, A Guerlain Orchidée Imperiale Gift Bag worth over £1000, and two £200 gift vouchers offered by Relais & Châteaux. And the winning streak did not end there for some when another fortunate guest won two return tickets with City Jet to a destination of his choice!
Clare Binns, Director of Programming at City Screen came on stage to present My afternoons with Marguerite. She took this opportunity to thank the ambassador for the contribution he had just made and what a great spokes man he was for French Cinema.
The Jazz band kept everybody entertained until Oddono’s arrived with little tubs of their scrumptious Italian gelato, at which point the previously sophisticated guests turned into delighted children as they slurped their way through the ice-cream maker’s most popular flavours.
Finally tearing myself away after midnight, a handsome young Frenchman handed me bags of treasures tied with a purple ribbon. Pour moi! Non? Oh alright then…
