Director of Nowhere Boy Sam Taylor Wood and the film’s star Aaron Johnson were the gilded couple at this year’s BIFAs, with Aaron nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a British Film, while Sam was nominated for the Douglas Hickox award and Nowhere Boy was up for Best British Independent Film and Best Screenplay.

Quite an achievement!

Sam told us how she was up against strong competition in all of her categories, and that they were all hoping they would be victorious! Although Sam lost out to Duncan Jones in her category, Anne Marie Duff walked away with the Best Supporting Award for her role in the John Lennon biopic.

Not bad considering it’s her directorial debut!
