Meet the East Kilbride man who won snacks award
Martin Durning, from East Kilbride, was presented with a Movie Munchies Award at the inaugural ODEON Extras Awards. The event took place at the ODEON Luxe in Leicester Square on Wednesday, April 30. Read more: Glasgow Film Theatre to host special season of classic films It recognised seven winners for their passion for film and loyalty to their local ODEON cinema. Martin, a 31-year-old retail assistant, is a regular visitor to the ODEON at East Kilbride and Glasgow Springfield Quay. His devotion to the cinema has made him one of the highest spenders in the whole of the UK on movie snacks. He attended the awards with his nephew, Oscar, 13, who regularly accompanies him to the cinema. Martin said: "I go to the cinema at least once a week – sometimes twice. "It's probably my favourite thing to do. "I often take my nephews and I always treat them to snacks. "Our favourites are the chicken strips, a hot dog, mozzarella sticks, and the potato tots and the nacho cheese dip is a must. "My nephews also love an ice cream and a pick n mix. "Controversially, I'm not a fan of popcorn. "I think having movie snacks makes it an extra special experience and enjoying them on the reclining seats makes it the perfect evening out." After being presented with his award by comedian Luke Hamnett, Martin and his fellow award winners were treated to an exclusive showing of the 80s classic ET.

"I've loved hearing all about their favourite movies and cinema stories – I might even have been inspired with a few sketch ideas." Suzie Welch, ODEON managing director UK&I, said: "We are so incredibly grateful to all our loyal members, many of whom have been with us for years, for helping us build a vibrant community of passionate film fans. "We were delighted to be able to recognise them and hear about their most memorable cinema experiences."
