People quoted Ben as saying: “I think it goes without saying that this is an award Matt and I have been dreaming about since we were little boys.

“I did Gigli and Matt did that Liberace movie and all of a sudden it all seemed out of reach. Then I did [Batman v Superman] and all of a sudden it was back in reach again.”

Julia Roberts was named Woman of the Decade at the star-studded awards, which were being held for the tenth time.
