The National Film Awards (AKA Daily Mail National Film Awards, Daily Mail Film Awards, British Film Oscars) were the first ever national film awards held in Britain. They were sponsored by the Daily Mail newspaper with readers voting for best Actor, Actress and Film. The inaugural event was held at the Dorchester Hotel, London in 1946.
The first awards were awarded to James Mason and Margaret Lockwood for most outstanding British actor and actress during the war years. [1]
This award is seen as the predecessor to the British Film Academy Awards (later BAFTA) which, although it began in 1947, did not give best actor/actress awards until 1952.
