Dream date: One lucky bidder has bagged a dream date with actress Scarlett Johansson after paying £20,000 in an auction raising funds for Oxfam
He will be ferried to the glittering event in a chauffeur-driven limousine and will join the star on the red carpet.
He can take a friend along - but might prefer to keep Scarlett all to himself.
After the screening, Bafta winner Scarlett will hand her date a personal handwritten note.
But he may have his work cut out wooing her as she is rumoured to be about to marry actor Ryan Reynolds, 31.
All proceeds from the auction are going to Oxfam.
Scarlett has been involved with the charity since 2005 and travelled to Sri Lanka and India last year to meet families affected by the Tsunami.
Her latest role sees her playing the mistress of Henry VIII alongside Eric Bana in The Other Boleyn Girl.
