Giant broker Aon is basking in the limelight this week after backing four Oscar winners – American Beauty, The Matrix, Girl, Interrupted and Topsy Turvy.

Aon plays a major role in helping make films go from script to the silver screen.

As well as identifying financial risks, by reviewing scripts, production schedules and budgets, it also cover losses for potential political risks that may

face filming or if bad weather ruins a location or if there are problems with the star.

This year 23 films that Aon insured were nominated for the Academy Awards.


The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
