**Most Blatant Vanity Project**. _Beyond the Sea_, anyone?

**Best Portrayal of British Royalty** , just to stop them from hogging the Best Actress (and potentially Best Actor) awards. Colin Firth has probably already cleared and labelled the spot on his mantlepiece.

**Most Gratuitous Product Placement**. When’s the next Bond film out?

**Best Straight-to-Video Release**. We’ve got to give these people something to aspire to.

**Best Fake Foreign Accent**

**Worst Fake Foreign Accent** (a.k.a. The “Dick van Dyke”)
