00:00Now let's chat to showbiz reporter at the Daily Mail, Stephanie Tetchy.
00:05Stephanie, we just saw some of the celebrities there.
00:09I didn't see Christina Aguilera's picture, but she was there too.
00:12Remind us who attended this year's Joy Awards.
00:17Indeed, Leanne. We had a robust line-up of regional faces,
00:21but we did have the creme de la creme of Hollywood
00:24that was in attendance at the Joy Awards.
00:27The guests of honours were people including Morgan Freeman, Andrea Bocelli,
00:33and also we had Matthew McConaughey, who received the Personality of the Year Award.
00:39For Morgan Freeman, he was bestowed with the Lifetime Achievement Award,
00:43which was presented to him by Sir Anthony Hopkins,
00:46and it was a real pleasure to see him because this just follows days
00:51after he lost his property due to the LA wildfires.
00:56So it was an interesting mix of Hollywood who was there,
01:00including Amanda Seyfried was also there,
01:04and there was a nice mix of also established people.
01:07For us Brits, including Guy Ritchie, who received the Joy Honouries Award,
01:12which was also lovely to see.
