The acclaimed actress, 54, shared a photo of herself on Instagram on the eve of the annual British award ceremony celebrating the best in film (check out who took home trophies this year right here!).

In the snap, she was seen holding her gold trophy while being kissed on the cheek by none other than Martin Scorsese while also being heavily pregnant at the time with daughter Carys.

Dressed in a stunning black gown with a floral sheer cover-up, she penned alongside the photo: "Bafta Awards tonight!! Acknowledging all of this year's nominees. A very pregnant me enjoying the moment some years ago!"

Fans quickly took to gushing over the beloved star, leaving responses like: "The loveliest pregnant lady in the world with her truly well-deserved award for such a brilliant performance," and: "You look so beautiful and happy!! And a very belated congratulations!!" plus: "Awww, I love you Catherine! You're so supportive."

At the 2003 BAFTAs, the 56th British Academy Film Awards, held in February 2003, Catherine was on her very first (and to date, only) nomination for her celebrated performance as Velma Kelly in the 2002 musical .

At the time, the film was quickly picking up steam at the box office and award shows, winning a few Best Film prizes as well as nods for its production and cast (which also included Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, and Queen Latifah). However, no one swept that awards season quite like Catherine.

"From dreaming of being you as a little girl, then meeting you and then being deeply connected to you by playing the one and only Velma Kelly in Chicago. There will never, ever, be anyone like you Chita, ever." 

She passionately added to the end of her tribute: "Dim the lights on Broadway! Or, may I suggest, we just pull the plug. I love you Chita, sleep tight my Queen."
