在下周即将举行的“英国晚间标准电影奖”颁奖晚会上，007新任邦德丹尼尔·克雷格将荣获最佳演员殊荣。2005年，当007系列制片人宣布《皇家赌场》选中丹尼尔·克雷格做新任007时，很多人都要崩溃了，让他们崩溃的主要是克雷格头发的颜色和……丑。然而，随着《皇家赌场》的正式上映，舆论声音出现了一边倒的情况。人们渐渐觉得，制片人没有看走眼，比起上任007皮尔斯·布鲁斯南，新邦德丹尼尔·克雷格看上去更像“硬汉”。比起以往那些“温室里的名贵花朵”，丹尼尔·克雷格更有“野战”气息，这是一种带有时尚色彩的男子汉气息，粗犷之中又不失缜密的思量，完全符合当代英雄的标准，然而他也不高高在上得令人讨厌、而是充满“人”的弱点。

Daniel Craig was honored but Helen Mirren was denied Sunday at the 34th annual Evening Standard British Film Awards.

Craig was named best actor for "Casino Royale," his debut outing as James Bond. Craig, who has won both critical praise and box office favor as the first blond Bond, is also up for the best-actor prize at next week's British Academy Film Awards.

Mirren, who is an Academy Awards favorite for her turn as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen," lost the best actress prize to Judi Dench, awarded for her portrayal of a predatory schoolteacher in "Notes on a Scandal."

The best-film prize went to "United 93," Paul Greengrass' harrowing dramatization of the final flight of one of the planes hijacked in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Peter Morgan won thescreenplay awardfor two scripts: "The Queen" and "The Last King of Scotland."

Sacha Baron Cohen, creator of the gauche Kazakh journalist Borat, won the Peter Sellers Award for comedy.

Stephen Frears, director of "The Queen," received a special award for "for making British film reverberate around the world." The veteran director's socially conscious films include "My Beautiful Laundrette," "Dangerous Liaisons" and "Dirty Pretty Things."

The Evening Standard awards are sponsored by London's afternoon newspaper and selected by a jury of film critics.
