Director Nicolas Roeg finally gets a nod from the critics, while the Chemical Brothers concoct a psychedelic feast for the eyes and ears
Better late than never for Roeg
Nicolas Roeg is the winner of this year's London Critics' Circle Dilys Powell award for excellence in cinema. Strange to believe that Roeg, 83, hadn't won it before, but I'm proud to say he will collect the award on 19 January under my chairmanship. Roeg was being totally honest when he confessed to being shocked at the offer of this award. "If I look back at some of my reviews, you'd never believe the critics would offer me anything," he told me. "I don't know if I should thank you or forgive you – I shall look on it that maybe there's a strange mathematical formula for critics where two negatives can eventually make a positive." Roeg will accept the award, joining illustrious and...

The It Crowd’s Chris O’Dowd has been confirmed as host of The Moët British Independent Film Awards, taking place on Sunday 4 December at Old Billingsgate.
This will be the comedian’s first time presenting the ceremony which will cover 18 categories including the Best British Independent Film, sponsored by Moët & Chandon.
Competing for such a prestigious trophy on the night will be Senna, Shame, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Tyrannosaur and We Need to Talk About Kevin.
O’Dowd commented: “I am delighted to be the new host of the Moët British Independent Awards this year and I'm really looking forward to the 4 December. It's a ceremony which cherishes innovation, elegance and class so I’m humbled that they've chosen a host who so clearly lacks any of these things. Expect dancing girls.”
Also announced today was this year’s jury panel, with 2000’s Bifa Producer of the Year winner,...

Here are the gongs they didn't give out on the night
In France, the Césars honour the best of French cinema; in Spain, the Goyas do so for their Spanish counterpart; and in Germany, the Lolas do likewise for German films. In the UK, we do things differently: the Baftas celebrate achievements in film regardless of national origin, making them uncomfortably similar to, and highly predictive of, the Oscars.
Which is all very well, unless you are British film-maker or actor who would, quite frankly, enjoy your moment in the spotlight once in while. Hence last night's British independent film awards, which have emerged over their 12 years of existence as the premier event celebrating British film.
The organisers of the Bifas would probably acknowledge that their awards are only as good as the British movies produced in any given year. Ever so slightly embarrassing, in other words, when a picture...
