Actor Samantha Morton, known for films such as \u201cMinority Report\u201d and \u201cIn America\u201d, will be honoured with a fellowship by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at its annual movie awards ceremony next week.
Morton, 46, joins the likes of actors Helen Mirren and Judi Dench as well as directors Ang Lee and Ridley Scott in receiving the arts charity\u2019s highest accolade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSamantha Morton is a mesmerising storyteller with incredible range.
