GQ hosted some of the biggest names in fashion, film, sport and entertainment at London's Royal Opera House on 8th September 2009 for its annual Men of the Year Awards at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. The event was hosted by James Nesbitt.
The twelfth annual GQ Men of the Year Awards was once again held in association with Alfred Dunhill. This year the luxury house presented its own award, The Alfred Dunhill Film-Maker Award, which was given to Guy Ritchie. Alfred Dunhill has, since 1893, been committed to providing everything the modern, discerning gentleman would desire from menswear to leather goods, accessories to games. With a rich heritage in innovation, travel and connoisseurship, the dunhill brand is one that is synonymous with British luxury at its very best.
