(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Gemma Arterton was named woman of the year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night.
The British actress arrived at the ceremony, held at the Royal Opera House in London, dressed in an over-sized black tuxedo jacket with exaggerated shoulders and teamed with black heels.
Gemma is currently promoting her movie Tamara Drewe, in which she plays the title character. She was thrilled to take home the accolade, and couldn?t stop smiling all night.
The Kinks star Ray Davis received the outstanding achievement prize, while Damon Albarn's cartoon group Gorillaz were named best band. Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher was at the ceremony, and admitted Damon - who was historically his bitter rival due to Oasis' feud with Blur in the 90s - was worthy of the recognition.
"Gorillaz definitely deserve some kind of award - if only for having 104 people on stage at Glastonbury. What a f**king rider that must've been to organise - more complicated than a Big Brother shopping list!" Noel joked, referring to Gorillaz' performance at the Glastonbury music festival this year, where they were joined on stage by several special guests.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron received the best politician award, and took the opportunity to joke with the crowd. He poked fun at England soccer player Wayne Rooney, who took to the pitch for his country last night amid allegations he cheated on his wife with a prostitute while she was pregnant.
"I can bring you the news that Wayne Rooney has scored - this time it was on the pitch, in the opposition's goal and actually playing for his country," David said.
Other winners included Mad Men actor Jon Hamm who was named best international man, Giorgio Armani who received the designer prize and Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick who got the breakthrough talent accolade.
A number of big name stars attended the glitzy event, with Lily Allen taking to the red carpet in a flowing back dress which hid her growing baby bump. Singer Alexandra Burke donned £30,000-worth of borrowed jewellery for the ceremony, and Mark Ronson, Jason Statham, Alice Cooper and Daisy Lowe also attended.
