Tilda Swinton was named European Actress 2011 for her performance in the gritty drama We Need to Talk About Kevin while Colin Firth won for The King’s Speech (obviously the European Film Awards are on a different release date timeline from the Academy Awards).
Mads Mikkelsen was honored with the European Achievement in World Cinema 2011 and director Stephen Frears was given the European Film Academy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Other winners included The Kid with a Bike screenwriters Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne, The King’s Speech editor Tariq Anwar, and The Artist composer Ludovic Bource.
