Glamour Women of the Year: Dame Helen Mirren wins Icon award
The pair are currently filming Woman In Gold, the true story of a Jewish woman who fought to retrieve her family's Gustav Klimt paintings after they were stolen by the Nazis.
Presenting Dame Helen with the Glamour Icon award, Reynolds joked: "For most actors, painstaking preparation involves nothing more than spray tan and a big pile of coke. But this next honoree has shown me that those things just aren't as important as I'd previously thought."
Listing Dame Helen's various award-winning roles, Reynolds continued: "The term 'national treasure' is bandied around a lot but, in the case of this stage and screen legend, it's absolutely deserved.
"She brings grace and fierce talent to her roles and leaves a trail of critical acclaim in her wake.
"She's also someone we're absolutely desperate to get drunk with at a party."
The awards ceremony was hosted by Graham Norton in London's Berkeley Square Gardens.
Davina McCall won the Hero award for her Sport Relief feat - a 500-mile endurance event in which she ran, swam and cycled from Edinburgh to London over seven gruelling days.
Emma Willis, presenter of BBC show The Voice, won the TV Personality award, while the Radio Personality award went to Fearne Cotton.
Helen Fielding won the Writer award for reviving her comic creation, Bridget Jones.
There were accolades for a current Doctor Who companion - Jenna Coleman as UK TV Actress of the Year - and one of her predecessors, Billie Piper, who was named best Theatre Actress.
Sam Claflin, star of The Hunger Games, was named Man of the Year.
Nicole Kidman won the Outstanding Contribution award and was the only winner unable to attend, instead sending a video message of thanks.
