Hugh Grant tied with Andrew Garfield for our favourite red carpet Q&A of 2023 and they are so different yet so British
Another year, another 12 months of unimaginably wealthy people walking up and down red carpets to receive a trinket for which they have already been rewarded beyond our wildest dreams.
And the pre-awards ceremony Q&A – traditionally the blandest of the bland – has been given a shot in the arm in the social media age. Finally, an upside of Twitter!

And here’s just a flavour of the response it prompted from over the Atlantic.

Both moments so different and yet both so ineffably British.
