Fantastic news. Not before time, and when I watched the film at the Odeon I thought if Team TIE don't clean up at the BIFTAs with this one then the whole thing's obviously a carve-up. Hats off to Shane and Tommo ;D

Uttoxeter grit beats Windsor glamour in race that leads up to the Oscars
This Is England beats off strong competition to add UK award to Rome prize
Mark Brown, arts correspondent
Thursday November 30, 2006
The Guardian
A version of 1980s working-class England triumphed over a version of 90s upper-class England at the ninth British Independent Film Awards last night.
Shane Meadows's This Is England will not be on general release until next spring but it has already won over film festival audiences, impressing critics in London and winning a special jury prize at Rome. It added a Bifa best film award last night.
It beat impressive opposition such as The Queen - the moving portrayal of Queen Elizabeth and how she handled the death of Diana in 1997 - in what has been a stunning year for British film. As well as The Queen, nominations included The Last King of Scotland and two films which won at Cannes - the Palme d'Or winner, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, and the jury prize winner, Red Road.
There was also success for This Is England's young star, 12-year-old Thomas Turgoose, who plays a boy who is bullied for wearing flares but finds friendship with skinheads. He won the most promising newcomer award.
This Is England is Meadows's fifth full-length feature - previous ones include Dead Man's Shoes and Once Upon a Time in the Midlands - and is partly based on his childhood in Uttoxeter, evoking the period of Margaret Thatcher, the Falklands aftermath, Rubik's Cubes and racism.
Meadows missed out in the best director category to Kevin Macdonald for his film adaptation of the Giles Foden novel The Last King of Scotland, a fictionalised account of Idi Amin and his Scottish doctor which, again, has yet to be seen away from film festivals.
