Screen Nation had a star-studded launch party held at the exquisite Lane Bar on November 3. Strictly Come Dancing star Don Warrington, the cast of Adulthood, DJ Ironic, Big Brother 2008 contestants and actors from The Bill were just some of the celebs present.
The wonderful food was prepared by award winning chef Collin Brown and mellow sounds supplied by a pianist. Great venue, fantastic food all that was left for us was to hear the nominations. So without further ado here they are:
