Olivia Colman Honored With BFI Fellowship from 'The Favourite' Director Yorgos Lanthimos!

Olivia Colman flashes a smile on the red carpet while attending the 2019 BFI Chairman’s Dinner held at Rosewood London on Wednesday evening (March 6) in London, England.

The 45-year-old Oscar winner was in attendance to receive the BFI Fellowship by Yorgos Lanthimos, who directed her in The Lobster and The Favourite.

“There isn’t an actor who can infuse each moment onscreen with such great humanity, drama and humour. No one can appear so fragile, magnetic, fierce, funny and real from one second to the next, or all at the same time,” Yorgos said during his speech (via Deadline).

Also in attendance to show their support were Olivia‘s husband Ed Sinclair, David Tennant, Richard E. Grant and his wife Joan Washington, as well as Olivia‘s The Crown co-stars Helena Bonham Carter and Tobias Menzies, who is stepping into the role of Prince Philip for the new season.

“I didn’t know what to expect this evening, turns out it’s a bit like a surprise birthday party… on the back of a lovely year,” Olivia said during her speech.

FYI: Olivia is wearing Atelier Swarovski fine jewelry.
