Subject: Hugh Grant awarded Fellowship by British Film Institute

Written By: Philip Eno on 02/24/16 at 4:33 am

Hugh Grant has been given a Fellowship by the British Film Institute (BFI) at a black-tie dinner in central London.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star said it was "a lovely surprise and a great honour" to be recognised.

Grant, 55, received his accolade at the annual BFI chairman's dinner on Tuesday at London's Corinthia Hotel.

Recent Fellowship recipients include the director Stephen Frears, with whom Grant recently worked on comic biopic Florence Foster Jenkins.

Not as yet, it is awarded as Fellowship title to individuals in "recognition of their outstanding contribution to film or television culture" and is considered the highest accolade presented by the Institute.
