Special Achievement Award
Richard E. Grant, for a long if not necessarily distinguished overacting career, and for consistently pursuing the money in everything from Spiceworld onwards. With the release of this year's formidable trio of First Night, Horrid Henry: the Movie and How to Stop Being a Loser, 2011 has been a banner year for this performer, which the committee wishes to acknowledge by inaugurating the Richard E. Grant Grant (brought to you in association with Cash Converters), to be presented to those established filmmakers and actors who, evidently, could do with a few extra readies every now and again.

The Irina Palm d'Or committee meets next Tuesday to decide this year's winners, a full list of which will be published here in due course.
