Attenborough Award

Lord Richard Attenborough was the guest of honour at the BT EMMA Awards in London last night where he was presented with a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his life-long human rights and anti-racism campaigning. The award particularly recognised Attenborough's 1987 film Cry Freedom which helped raise international awareness of the injustices of South Africa's apartheid regime. The Awards' founder, Bobby Syed, said: "Again an inspiring line-upof award recipients to add to the BT EMMA Award hall of fame. All the nominees and everyone involved tonight have contributed to what EMMA stands for, the peaceful racial integration of ethnic cultures in all communities." Other winners from the entertainment industry included Michelle Yeoh who won Best Actress, Eddie Murphy (Best Actor) and Ang Lee for his film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
