My colleague, Becky Barlow, has already reported on all of this year’s big winners, and I’m going to tell you about the remaining categories. Best Make-up was awarded to the popular action film, Exciting Times. The make-up artist gave an emotional speech, but she refused to cry … she told the audience that she didn’t want to ruin her make-up! After much laughter and applause, the next category was announced. It was the prize for Best Score and it was awarded to the romanticcomedy, Leo and Sue, for its excellent soundtrack. The celebrity who presented the award admitted that this soundtrack had made him want to dance when he first heard it. We moved on to the Best Costume Design award, which went to John Jones, the costume designer on the historical drama, Family Tree, whose costumes have started new trends across Europe and America. The award for Best Screenplay was given to the writers of the teenage adventure film, Fifteen Teens, whose script was praised for being original and funny. The two writers were asked whether it had been difficult to work together on the script. They agreed that it had been a challenge at times, but insisted that they had respected each other’s opinions and cooperated fully. It was a night to remember, and that’s all from me until next year’s film festival. 1 What kind of film was Exciting Times? a) a family drama b) an action film 2 What did the film Leo and Sue win an award for? a) best script b) best soundtrack 3 Who wanted to dance when he first heard the soundtrack for Leo and Sue? © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 a) the presenter of the award b) the winner of the award 4 John Jones is a ________. a) set designer b) costume designer 5 There were ________ writers of Fifteen Teens. a) two b) three Score __/10 12 Read the article again and circle T (true) or F (false). 1 Becky Barlow already reported on the big winners.

Then, to the delight of the audience, he started dancing on stage and the crowd loved it We moved on to the Best Costume Design award, which went to John Jones, the costume designer on the historical drama, Family Tree, whose costumes have started new trends across Europe and America. In his acceptance speech, Jones said that his grandmother’s style had inspired his designs, and he dedicated the award to her. The award for Best Screenplay was given to the writers of the teenage adventure film, Fifteen Teens, whose script was praised for being original and funny. The two writers were asked whether it had been difficult to work together on the script. They agreed that it had been a challenge at times, but insisted that they had respected each other’s opinions and cooperated fully. It was a night to remember, and that’s all from me until next year’s film festival. © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 1 The award for Best Make-up went to ______. a) Leo and Sue b) Exciting Times c) Family Tree 2 What kind of film was Leo and Sue? a) a romantic comedy b) an action film c) a historical drama 3 The presenter said the Leo and Sue soundtrack had made him want to ______. a) laugh b) cry c) dance 4 Where have the designs of John Jones started a trend?
