The British Are Coming - British Winners at the Oscars 2019

Welcome back to the Creative Awards London blog where we bring you the very best in our custom made awards and trophies from our London workshop. Now, our love of film is no secret. Over the years many of our team have been involved within the film industry from writing to directing as well as even appearing in front of the camera. So, when it comes to film awards its impossible not to say that the Oscars are the ones we look out for the most. The glitz, the glamour, the occasional wardrobe malfunction - all reasons that we sit up till the early hours of the morning and watch the ceremony. As avid movie fans and proud brits we want to dedicate this  blog to the British winners at the Oscars. But, who were the British winners at the Oscars 2019? Grab your popcorn as we cover the five Brits who took home the famous golden statue this year.

Countless others help to make a film successful and Brits took home a number of accolades. DJ, Producer and all round talent Mark Ronson won the award for Best Original Song for Shallow from A Star Is Born, alongside American co-writers Lady Gaga, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt.
