It's that time of the year when Britain recognises some of the great and good in the New Year Honours list.<br/> <br />And there's some big names from the acting world picking up awards this year.<br/> <br />'The English Patient' star Kristin Scott Thomas - who's due to play the Queen in stage play 'The Audience' - is now a Dame.<br/> <br />She's not the only big star who can call themselves a Dame as 'Dynasty' actress Joan Collins has also been given the title.<br/> <br />'Alien' star John Hurt is now a Knight - which means he'll be able to put 'sir' in front of his name from now on.<br/> <br />And in a strong year for actors - 'Breaking the Waves' actress Emily Watson has been given an OBE as has James Corden.<br/> <br />The award marks a successful end to the year for Corden, who can currently be seen in the new Disney movie 'Into The Woods'.
