Empire
Empire Magazine is the movie magazine choice of Hollywood's elite (with the likes of Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes having guest-edited previous issues), meaning that it enjoys unparalleled access to the biggest movies and stars on-set during production. Empire magazine includes all the latest movie reviews (ones that haven't even hit the cinema yet!) as well as celebrity interviews, incredible imagery and gossip on the latest news in the movie world.

It has also spawned the annual Jameson Empire Awards, the UK's most influential film awards show after the BAFTAs, which are voted for by readers and therefore tend to honour films overlooked by the likes of the Academy and Hollywood Foreign Press.
