After winning the coveted Best Actress award last year for
Tyrannosaur, Peep Show's Olivia Colman made a raptuous return to the
British Independent Film Awards with another win for her work in
Hyde Park On Hudson. Fantastic at playing comedic roles in films such as Hot Fuzz and Confetti to cult British television series including Look Around You and Green Wing, Olivia is gaining equal notoriety for her more gritty, straight-laced roles, and deservedly so. Genuinely shaken a little with nervous excitement from her win, Olivia's giddiness came through during my interview with her, inescapably British, over-apologising when she couldn't find the right words. I found her reaction to the win incredibly touching and one of the most down-to-earth actors I've had the pleasure to meet.
The following interview took place at the Moet British Independent Film Awards in London on 9th December 2012.
