Details

The actor, renowned for his role as James Bond, will be honored at the 45th London Critics' Circle Film Awards ceremony on February 2 at the May Fair hotel in London. Among the nominees are "Brutalist" by Brady Corbet and "Anora" by Sean Baker.

“It’s a huge honor, and I’m incredibly grateful to the London Film Critics Circle,” said Daniel Craig upon hearing the news of the award.

“As critics, we have been fans of Daniel Craig for his adventurous roles long before he became James Bond. We recognized him for his performances in 'Mother' (2003) and 'Eternal Love' (2004), and of course, we have enjoyed his unparalleled portrayal of agent 007. Over the decades, he has consistently made bold choices and pushed boundaries that often limit other stars. We love the 'Knives Out' films, and this year we nominated him in the 'Queer' category. We look forward to celebrating his career at our ceremony,” said Rich Klein, chair of the Critics' Circle.

Last year, London critics presented the Dilys Powell Award to Jeffrey Wright. Other recent recipients include Michelle Yeoh, Sandy Powell, Sally Potter, Pedro Almodóvar, and Kate Winslet.

Reminder

Actor Tom Cruise received the highest civilian award from the U.S. Navy for promoting military service. His films "Top Gun" significantly increased the number of volunteers in the Navy.
