Cos we believe in you…
Despite today’s lyric quotation, I have to be honest and admit that with the coverage the likes of Fish Tank was getting in the run up to this evening’s
My concern didn’t last long when the first award of the evening went to
During a short but emotional and touching acceptance speech in which Duncan battled to stop himself from being overcome, he had this to say about his journey to this point…
“Wow, thank you so much. I didn’t actually realise how much this meant to me. It’s taken me an awful long time to know what I wanted to do with my life. Finally, I think I’ve found what I love doing and I just want to thank everyone who helped me get there.”

Backstage, he credited his singer father with getting him “interested in the canon of sci-fi” at a young age.He said: “He is watching it live..in New York.. I turned my phone off, like I was told to, so I’m sure when I turn it back on, he will be trying to get through.”
Jones, christened Zowie Bowie before he changed his name, said: “As far as sci-fi goes, one of the things my dad did an awful lot of was show me quite a few films when I was growing up, just getting me interested in the literature and in the sort of canon of sci-fi.
“It’s an area I have always loved, so I probably saw most of Stanley Kubrick’s films when I was eight or nine years old, with my dad sitting there next to me, making sure that I didn’t get terrified. I think my interest in sci-fi really comes from my dad being a dad, as opposed to the work that he did,” he said.
Asked whether he would give his father a role or ask him to make music in a future film, he said: “It would be foolhardy to have such a good relationship with someone so talented and not ask him to work on a film”. He added: “I would love to have the chance to establish my career, although this is a good start, do a couple of films on my own before I ever did that. But I love him very much and I think he is very talented.”
He added: “I have always steered away from music. That was my big rebellion, having no interest in music.”
