Meryl Streep, “Spectre” director Sam Mendes and late-night import James Corden rank among the first round of honorees for the 2105 Britannia Awards presented by BAFTA Los Angeles.
At the annual awards ceremony, Streep will claim the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film. Mendes, the director of dramas like “Revolutionary Road” and the last two films in the beloved James Bond franchise, will take the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing.
Corden, a British performer who has translated well in America with CBS’ “The Late Late Show,” will receive the Artist of the Year prize, sponsored by Burberry.
