Star Wars snagged best male and female newcomers, best sci-fi and best director at the Jameson Empire awards, which at least handed out prizes to some different kind of winners, which is nice to see. I love that Paul Greengrass presented Matt Damon with Best Actor for the The Martian, and kudos to them for giving Alan Rickman a deserved legend award.
