- Summary: British Academy Film Awards 2014 British Academy Film Awards Ceremony
- Description:Amy Adams presents the award for Adapted Screenplay, won by Philomena (Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope), at the British Film Academy Awards, held at the Royal Opera House, London, on 16 February, 2014 / Acceptance speech by Steve Coogan & Jeff Pope - STEVE COOGAN: Gosh. This story started four years ago with a newspaper article I read, and I pursued it because I hooked up with this guy, Jeff Pope, and we managed to bring this story to life, but we couldn't have done that obviously without a whole host of people. First of all we have to thank, of course, Martin Sixsmith for his book that we adapted. Philomena Lee, who is here tonight, the real Philomena Lee. Her story, her story has been told and her story finished in the Vatican. She has been heard, but there are 60,000 other women who have yet to trace their children and their story isn't yet over. Briefly though I would like to thank the dream team that we managed to assemble, most notably Stephen Frears for his fantastic directing. All the other people, Cameron, Cameron McCracken. Tracey Seaward, Gabby Tana, Robbie Ryan for his fantastic cinematography. Anybody else? I am saving the best one until last. The person who brought Philomena's story to life and gave flesh and blood to her on screen, my dream cast choice and somebody who I have fallen in love with, Dame Judi Dench. Thank you very much. JEFF POPE: Thanks to Christine Langan who brought me and Steve together. I am so pleased to be able to make up for an appalling scarf I was wearing in a clip earlier. I am thinking right now of my father who I lost in November and my lovely wife, Tina. Thank you.
