What Happened at the 2017 Britannia Awards?
Here's the scoop: everything seems to be in order, but on Friday, October 27, the film world gathered for the 2017 Britannia Awards. Matt Damon was set to receive the prestigious Stanley Kubrick Award for Excellence in Film, but things took an unexpected turn. Matt couldn’t make it to the award ceremony because of a sudden family emergency that required his immediate attention back in Boston.
Actress Kate Mara stepped in to accept the award on Matt’s behalf. She addressed the audience with warmth and understanding, saying, “Unfortunately, Matt had to urgently travel back to Boston and couldn’t join us tonight. As much as we all wish he was here with us, we know family comes first. So our thoughts are with you, Matt, and much love from your friends here in LA.”

A Personal Message from Matt Damon
Despite not being physically present, Matt took the time to send a heartfelt video message to the audience. In the clip, he said, “Hello and thank you to everyone at BAFTA. I found out about this award six months ago and I was just so incredibly honored to receive it, and I was really looking forward to tonight. Unfortunately, I had to go back to Boston for a family emergency. I’m really sorry not to be with you tonight. Thank you for this wonderful honor, and I hope you have a lovely evening. See you soon.”
While Matt didn’t elaborate on the nature of the family emergency, we do know that he and his wife of 12 years, Luciana Barroso, are raising four daughters together: Alexia (his stepdaughter), 18, Isabella, 11, Gia, 9, and Stella, 7. As someone who values his privacy, Matt doesn’t have any social media profiles, so updates on the situation haven’t been shared publicly.
How Fatherhood Changed Matt Damon
In a past interview with Entertainment Tonight, Matt opened up about how becoming a father has transformed his life. He said, “I think everything changes in little wonderful ways. My whole life opened up when I became a dad. I’m very much on the receiving end of all the good stuff.”
We’re all rooting for Matt and his family, hoping everything gets resolved soon. Until we hear otherwise, we’ll continue to keep them in our thoughts. After all, family is everything, and Matt clearly knows how to prioritize what matters most.
