Samantha Barks has been honoured by an international film magazine.
Sam, 22, from Laxey was presented with the Best Newcomer trophy from Empire Magazine after a public vote.
She was nominated for her performance in Les Miserables and picked up her prize at a glittering ceremony in the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Sunday.
Sam was obviously thrilled with the award:

Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
MHK to seek re-election in Arbory, Castletown and Malew
