The Empire Awards was an annual British awards ceremony honouring cinematic achievements in the local and global film industry.

The awards, first presented in 1996, were presented by the British film magazine Empire with the winners voted by the readers of the magazine.

The 23rd Empire Awards was the final ceremony, held on 18 March 2018 in London to honour films released in 2017.

[1] The awards were sponsored by Jameson Irish Whiskey from the 14th Empire Awards[2][3] and were thenceforth officially called the Jameson Empire Awards.

The Empire Awards ceremonies were discontinued after 2018 for unknown reasons.
