| [00:00.00] | The cast and crew of British movies |
| [00:02.50] | will no longer be hailed as the underdogs at awards ceremonies. |

| [00:16.56] | by American films and actors |
| [00:18.55] | but 2009 has seen a more international flavour |
| [00:22.53] | to the ceremony. |

| [00:30.68] | for an Oscar before she eventually won |

| [01:01.35] | British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, |
| [01:03.65] | issued a statement saying |
