The 2018 international honoree is soon to be announced by the Executive Committee and as always will be legendary a star of many classic independent movies as well as huge Hollywood blockbusters. A truly unique talent still working in today’s movie industry. Honours will be bestowed upon one of the UK's most venerable now sadly departed industry talents, the much admired and hugely respected actor Larrington Walker. To mark the untimely passing of one of the UK's top creative design talents Jon Daniel, two special honours will be bestowed bearing the key #AfroSupaHero motif he had made famous. A first honour will be presented to writer/director Ryan Coogler and the whole cast and crew of the seminal Marvel movie Black Panther for their outstanding achievement in producing the film. The second honour goes to friend of Screen Nation and esteemed cultural historian Tony Warner, founder of Black History Walks and a key commentator on film & TV and media.
Industry-backed Achievement Awards, presented by a host of well-known faces will recognize both audience favourites and emerging British film & TV talent. In the year since the BBC’s groundbreaking #BlackAndBritishSeason, the 2018 ceremony is guaranteed to feature the cream of the black British film & TV scene alongside established stars from the worlds of sport, music, fashion media and entertainment.
