A. I've brought a really -- it's like a blanket. I've brought a cosy blanket to cover up my gown.
Q. You still look very slick and very lovely.
A. Well, let me show you my gorgeous dress. I'm so proud of my lovely dress. Look at that!
Q. We are predominantly a fashion show; who are you wearing tonight?
A. Louis Vuitton. Because I'm a grown-up.
Q. And you are here with your husband tonight.
A. My gorgeous husband.
Q. Ol Parker, come on in. Ol, congratulations on your nomination for Best British Film; how does that feel?

Q. In A couple of years?
A. God, a couple of years.
Q. Excluding your own film, of course, what other films have you enjoyed this year.
