Daniel CraigDaniel CraigWe here in the Showbiz Shed have a wee soft spot in our hearts for Daniel Craig as 007...

And who can blame us in those trunks?

But it seems that he has also proved a hit with the critics - as he's picked up his first award.

He's been named best actor at the Evening Standard British Film Awards for his performance in Casino Royale.

And no doubt Dan will be keeping his fingers crossed that he can follow it up next week with a Bafta, where he's up against the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Peter O'Toole.

Proving every inch a man after 007's heart, he turned up at the ceremony in London in a smart grey suit, with his very stunning girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell at his side.

Helen MirrenHelen MirrenIn a surprise choice - and for the first time this award season - the best actress prize did not go to Oscar favourite Dame Helen Mirren for her role in The Queen.

Instead it went to fellow Dame, Judi Dench, for her performance as an embittered schoolteacher in Notes On A Scandal.
