Helena Bonham Carter and Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood were winners at the Evening Standard British Film Awards.
Helena was named best actress for her roles in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Conversations With Other Women.
Helena said it was “bizarre and amazing” to win for her first singing role.
But she admitted she is not a fan of awards ceremonies.
“I think awards should be abolished for a few years but here I am standing at a ceremony.
“They cancel each other out because there are so many of them and they come round too soon and it is a frock show.
“To be honest I was so relieved not to get nominated for anything but this because there wasn’t a frock to organise, any press to do. I think there’s just too many to be honest.”
