Helen Mirren

Heavens to Betsy... Helen Mirren has done it yet again.

Let's get the boring stuff out of the way first.

Caprice is posing avec plates of food to launch Lastminute.

OK, we've applauded Helen Mirren for her Oscar... but it ends right there.

The gongs have exchanged hands in the Kodak Theater, Los Angeles.

And it's safe to say, there hasn't been any surprises.

Legs shaved. Check.

Helen Mirren might need to buy a new house.

At the very least she needs to clear a space on the mantelpiece.

We 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?

The Brits were strong at this year's Screen Actors Guild Awards.

It comes as no surprise that Helen Mirren walked away with not one, but two of the night's awards.

The SAG Awards saw a star-filled red carpet but who got their mitts on what?

Well, it was a good night for a queen and a dreamgirl...

It's as predictable as the Doctor Who knock knock joke...

Helen Mirren has been named in the best actress category for the Oscars for her role in The Queen.

Flights from LA to Heathrow may be a little heavier than normal this week.

The reason?

When it comes to good looks, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow is undeniably hotter than Borat.

But what about when it comes to film awards?

Detest travelling on the London Underground?

Well, Dame Helen Mirren's got a trick up her sleeve that'll leave you drooling on the platform.

Ugly Betty is still getting going over in the UK.

But in the US it has just hit the peak of its popularity.

Poor Leonardo DiCaprio... he'd bagged two of the nomination spots in the best actor category but failed to convert either into a gong.

This time last year, Emily Blunt wasn't a name many of us had heard of.

But now she's winning over Hollywood.

An influx of Brits have taken LA by storm as the awards season approaches.

With the Baftas, Golden Globes, Oscars and SAG awards, it is non-stop for those thesps over the next few months.

Pink hair, bank manager suits and trainers aren't the types of looks you expect to see at a major awards ceremony.

But, with the Golden Globes around the corner, are the stars saving their best outfits?

Revenge is looking pretty sweet for Daniel Craig right now.

After a real battering from the critics and Bond fans before uttering one word as 007, he's had the last laugh by being nominated for the best actor award at the Baftas.

There were no shocked gasps as Helen Mirren's name was read out for the best actress Bafta.

But she wasn't the only happy lady on the night.

She's made it in Hollywood and is even tipped for an Oscar...

But Dame Helen Mirren hasn't let fame go to her head.

These two are the closest of chums.

In fact, they've been sticking close to each other of late - even in a poll of the worst dressed.

Sarah Jessica Parker looked hot at the National Board Of Review's Annual Awards Gala on Tuesday night.

She looked so hot it's a miracle she didn't burst into flames...

Times are changing, my folks.

You no longer have to be a 20 year old to be deemed sexy by the public...

Everything seems to be going right for Sienna Miller these days.

Her place at the top of the style pile is assured, she's back with on-off boyf Jude Law...

At a loss as to what to see at the movies? Let Tim Evans be your guide...

It was a good night for British talent at this year's Emmys.

And an interesting night for fashion - with some great style on one manicured hand, yes you Cat Deeley, and some dodgy clobber on the other.

British miniseries Elizabeth I, 24 and the US version of The Office all basked in success at the 58th Annual Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

Dame Helen Mirren took home a best actress gong, while Kiefer Sutherland proudly accepted the trophy for best actor in a drama, and Ricky Gervais won yet another award for his comedy smash The Office.

Sir Sean Connery and Dame Judi Dench are Britain's most popular screen legends, according to a new poll.

The 74-year-old Scottish Bond star was voted the best British actor of all time, while Dame Judi, 70, stole best actress.

Clive Owen and Imelda Staunton have proved the Brits can take on Hollywood by scooping Baftas in the face of stiff competition.

Owen won best supporting actor for Closer and Staunton took best actress for Vera Drake.
