The ceremony celebrated the best in British film, with Bond movie Skyfall prevailing in the awards, winning Best British film, and director Sam Mendes winning Best Director and Empire Inspiration Award.

A film enthusiast himself, last year Damien joked that he was ‘rehearsing the dream role’ at the 50 Years of Bond Style Exhibition, and only last week in a red carpet interview at the First Light Awards mentioned Bond director Barbara Broccoli as a fellow attendee.

On the day of the Empire Awards he posted on his twitter page:

I have EVERY issue of @empiremagazine since June 1996 and today I’m going to the #JamesonEmpireAwards for the first time… #veryexcited

Having just finished a run at the Royal Court Theatre in If You Don’t Let Us Dream, We Won’t Let You Sleep and with BBC Supernatural drama Being Human recently ending – in which Damien gave an acclaimed 2 series performance of internationally loved character Hal – the future of our favourite thesp’s acting career is now wide open, and has a potential which we find rather exciting. Established in theatre and television, starring in award winning film shorts and having such a passion for film, the idea of Damien in films seems a natural and inevitable prospect.

In a Q&A on the BBC Being Human blog, when asked what his ‘unfinished business’ would be, Damien replied “working with Tarantino, Spielberg, Haneke and Scorsese on a new trilogy of films… ” and in an interview with London Theatre he commented “Films are really my first love and I would like to work in more films. I would love to work with Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese who are on my list of dream directors.”

It may not be as Bond, but we cannot help but wonder how long it will be until the day we’ll be adding a very special Empire Magazine cover to our collection – when this undeniable acting talent is up on that stage himself, receiving his very own award.
