Viber Invited Film Fans to Walk the Purple Carpet at the Jameson Empire Awards

The best films and filmmakers of the past year, as voted for by readers of Empire magazine and film fans around the globe, were honoured last night at the 20th Jameson Empire Awards.

The big winner of the evening, taking the awards for Best Director, sponsored by Air New Zealand, and Best Film, presented by Viber, was Interstellar, whose director Christopher Nolan was also honoured with the prestigious Empire Inspiration award, presented to him by Interstellar actress and two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain.
