Bond's disappearing act
Fashion and fast cars were honored at last night's "Luxury Oscars," awarded by the Walpole Group of British luxury brands at the Banqueting House on London's Trafalgar Square. (Yes, they give awards for everything these days.) Marc Jacobs won for International Luxury brand, and Formula One prodigy Lewis Hamilton scored for Sporting Excellence, but the real buzz was for Medal of Excellence honoree Daniel Craig. (He was joining the company of past winners like Ian McKellen, Gordon Ramsay, and J.K. Rowling.) The audience gasped when—despite having his name written in boldface on the invitation—it was announced Mr. Bond hadn't bothered to show up. Still, you gotta hand it to the guy: Even in absentia, he stole the show. (Maybe he was too busy celebrating another honor: Being named one of GQ's Men of the Year.)

James Bond star Daniel Craig will receive the Variety Award for bringing the British film industry into the international spotlight.

GQ MEN OF THE YEAR: LEADING MAN
He's been in many movies before. He'll be in many more after. But as good as he is in this month's The Golden Compass and in other roles, Daniel Craig will always be James Bond. And a rather good one, at that

GG wrote: No wonder he was rather used to critical acclaim than critical slaughter

WOW! I wondered about how many he has actually won - thanks for the list GG. It seems like he was on a role since 1998 and just kept on going with each role he has played. Our man Mr. Craig is undoubtedly talented above all else. Love him to bits!

Maybe someone could post how many times he's won Best Dressed in the Well-dressed thread?
