The metal ‘Silver Moonman’ figure mounted on a black metal base with white metal plaque 'BEST VIDEO FROM A FILM / 1992 / QUEEN / “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY” / FREDDIE MERCURY', the award presented posthumously to Freddie Mercury and accepted on his behalf by Brian May and Roger Taylor on 9 September 1992, height: 31cm.. 12¼in.

The video features the now-famous scene in the film Wayne’s World (1992), where Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) head-bang in the car to the rock section of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'; the video is cut with clips from the original 1975 promotional video for the single and live footage of the band on stage. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' reached a peak of No.9 in the US charts in 1976 but found a new audience on the release of Wayne’s World and peaked at No.2 on the film’s release in 1992.
