I know we already announced that Martin Kemp won the Best Director Award at the 2011 SCREAM AWARDS this week for his directorial debut The Stalker but we just received this rather splended picture of Martin with his Award and so we have decided to put it up for everyone to see… Or at least just for our female readers :)
