"SKYFALL was concieved 60 years ago when Ian Fleming wrote the first James Bond novel, it was born 50 years ago when Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman produced the first film, and since then it was nurtured by a whole host of directors, actors, cast and crew. It's on behalf of those filmmakers that Barbara (Broccoli) and I accept this award", pointed out producer Michael G Wilson after recieving the "Outstanding British Film" prize.
Director Sam Mendes also got the chance to thank Bond star Daniel Craig and gave a postumate homage to 007 creator Ian Fleming .
