In a hotly fought contest Tony Blair has been awarded the title “Best Ever Micheal Sheen.” Blair has now played the Welsh actor and former Mr. Kate Beckinsale three times on film and tv. “I guess I’m lucky that I look a bit like Michael and then, you know, I sort of played round with the voice until I got something reasonably convincing.”

Attendees at the star-studded event were treated to an extract from ‘The Queen’ where Blair brilliantly captured Sheen’s easy way with words in the wake of the death of the People’s Princess. “Acting’s in my blood” he said at the post show party, “and though it’s gratifying to win awards, at the end of the day, you know, I hope people think of me as a pretty regular guy...”

Hopes that Blair might take on the Sheen mantel a fourth time have been stymied by the actor himself. “In my business it pays to stay one step ahead. So my next film will be a complete departure. I’m going to play a man who saves the entire world before he’s taken to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God. I can’t wait. I think it’s a role I was born to play.”

In other awards, the veteran American performer, George W. Bush, was honoured for his moving portrayal of a brain damaged American President learning to speak all over again whilst talented TV thesp Michael Portillo picked up a Lifetime Under-Achievement Award.
