Once again London’s streets tremor with the well-suited and booted footfall of the eager, awards-bound actor and celebrity. The 2015 Empire Awards are here, the annual curtain closer on the weighted metal and backslap season.

Ralph Fiennes is this year’s recipient of the Legend award, a high accolade placing him in the company of similar legendary figures such as Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton.

We will have a full run down of the award winners later on, but for here’s us taking advantage of a warm place on the red carpet, interviewing as many as possible.

Cassam Looch and Dave Sztypuljak were on the carpet, grabbing the great and good. Here is how they got on.
