McAcoy accepts Empire Award for DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST took home the Jameson Empire Award for ‘Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy’ Sunday evening in London, England. Professor Charles Xavier actor James McAvoy accepted the award on behalf of director Bryan Singer, cast and crew.

“I’d like to thank Jennifer Lawrence’s wonderful blue hue and naked body for ensuring I didn’t even feature in that clip,” the actor joked. “If we weren’t fans of X-Men when we started, we are now, and I just hope that when we do Apocalypse this summer, we do the fans as proud as we did this time. Thank you Empire! We do hugely appreciate it.”

Competing nominees included Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, Guardians Of The Galaxy, The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies and Interstellar.

Congrats!
