She was one of the celebrities that got Damed this year.
This makes me so happy, and proud. She deserves it. God bless.

May the odds be ever in your favour.
I do second your opinion about Emily Watson. She is a terrific actress. However, she did not got Damed, as she got the OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire), the holder of which are not entitle to use the title of Sir/Dame.

Many fantastic artists receive the OBE award. At first I thought you said she was "Damned", lol! Most excellent for one of Hollywood's finest. Big fan of her Equalibrium and Red Dragon performances..
