(3 Dec 2018) DANCING, DRINKING, MINGLING - DAME JUDI DENCH, FELICITY JONES AND MORE SHARE THEIR AWARD SHOW ETIQUETTE Despite starring in countless movies and gracing stages across the world, Dame Judi Dench says she's a bit shy. Speaking at the British Independent Film Awards in London Sunday (2 DEC. 2018) - where she was handed the Richard Harris Award - Dench said she doesn't really mingle at starry events. "I sit quietly and try not to panic," she smiled. Another award winner, Felicity Jones, felt the same as Dench. "I sometimes get quite shy and and sort of get a bit quiet and it takes me a bit of time to relax. So, but this one is different there are lots of people that I know that I have grown up with in the industry, so it will be a bit more like seeing old friends." Jones received the Variety Award at the ceremony and recently played Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2018's "On the Basis of Sex." Gemma Arterton, nominated for her role in "The Escape," called herself a "massive mingler," saying she loves to catch up, and party, with her fellow actors. "There have been many a drunken dance on the dancefloor which is always the best fun when you're like, 'Oh my God! There's someone really famous dancing like an idiot over there.' It is so good, so good." Finally, actor Steve Coogan said he enjoys celeb spotting at award shows, but that's as far as it goes for him. "I sometimes go, 'Oh look, that's that bloke off the telly' but I never really want to speak to them because I don't know what to say to them, what can I say to them? 'I think you're really good, I've seen you in films.'" The British Independent Film Awards took place on 2 December 2018, winners listed below.
