Gemma Arterton declared woman of the year at GQ awards

Gemma ArtertonBritish Actress Gemma Arterton has been declared woman of the year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, which was held at the Royal Opera House in London.

The Kinks star Ray Davis received the outstanding achievement prize, while Damon Albarn’s cartoon group Gorillaz were named best band.

Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher was at the ceremony, and admitted Damon - who was historically his bitter rival due to Oasis’ feud with Blur in the 90s - was worthy of the recognition.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron received the best politician award, and took the opportunity to joke with the crowd. He poked fun at England soccer player Wayne Rooney, who took to the pitch for his country last night amid allegations he cheated on his wife with a prostitute while she was pregnant.

"I can bring you the news that Wayne Rooney has scored - this time it was on the pitch, in the opposition’s goal and actually playing for his country," David said.

Other winners included Mad Men actor Jon Hamm who was named best international man, Giorgio Armani who received the designer prize and Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick who got the breakthrough talent accolade.
