The first poignant moment was when the real Philomena Lee, who inspired one of the Best Picture Drama nominees Philomena, walked up on stage with Steve Coogan. She introduced the film to the audience, where Dame Judi Dench played her part. Woody Allen was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Diane Keaton, who accepted it on his behalf, said, “179 of the world’s most captivating actresses have appeared in Woody’s films. And the reason is that they wanted to. Woody’s women can’t be compartmentalised, they’re the hallmark of Woody’s work.” She ended the speech by singing ‘Make new friends, but keep the old’ that was dedicated to her friend Allen.
