“I want to thank the National Film Academy and moviegoers nationwide for voting for me for the Global Contribution to Motion Picture award. This is one that truly humbles me,” Hopkins said in a statement.
Looking star-studded in a plunging sparkly gown, Beckinsale won Best Actress for her role as Lindy in the movie ‘Jolt’.
“This is probably the most beautiful awards show I’ve ever been to,” Beckinsale said after her win. She then thanked everyone on Instagram for voting for her.
Best Actor went to Jude Law for Harry Potter spin-off ‘Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets’, while Best Feature Film and Best British Film went to ‘Belfast’ by Kenneth Branagh. Olive Tennant also won Best Newcomer for the same film.
