A One Take Kate favourite Kate Winslet was the recipient of the Variety Award which recognizes a director, actor, writer or producer who has made a global impact and helped to focus the international spotlight on the UK, presented to her by Stanley Tucci (Hunger Games). Kate’s classic look on the night suited her illustrious and credible career.

In attendance on the night in support of his Best Supporting Actor nomination for Brooklyn, Domhnall Gleeson (Unbroken) actually ended up accepting the award, not for his performance, but instead for his Dad Brendan Gleeson‘s (Harry Potter, In The Heart Of The Sea) winning performance in Suffragette! Pictured here with Alicia Vikander.
