The 15th Empire Awards ceremony (officially known as the Jameson Empire Awards), presented by the British film magazine Empire, honored the best films of 2009 and took place on 28 March 2010 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England.[1] During the ceremony, Empire presented Empire Awards in 11 categories as well as four honorary awards. The Done In 60 Seconds competition was opened for the first time to international entries from this year.[2] Irish comedian Dara Ó Briain hosted the show for the second consecutive year.[1] The awards were sponsored by Jameson Irish Whiskey for the second consecutive year.[1][3]

In related events, Empire and Jameson Irish Whiskey held the 1st Done In 60 Seconds Competition Global Final[2] on 26 March 2010[4] at 24 Club, London, England.[5] The team of judges consisted of Empire editor-in-chief Mark Dinning,[6] English actor Jason Issacs[6] and English film director and television director Edgar Wright,[6] which selected from a shortlist of 20 nominees[4][5] the five Done In 60 Seconds Award finalists that were invited to the Empire Awards where the winner was announced.[4][5][6][7]
