I can't find footage of his acceptance, but he was presented the Britannia Award for British Actor of the Year last night in LA.

Someone uploaded a video from their phone. Quality is not the best but you can see and hear him so that's all that matters really

Thanks for posting this!     I was also watching the various pre-awards
interviews of various actors/celebs, as they were arriving at the Beverly Hilton,
including Benedict-   (Here it's on this evening on the BBC America channel)- I hope we
can track that part down on video somewhere.   His comments were
very gracious and funny and the others talking about him were so complimentary.

I find the speech of the others and his reactions even more moving than his own speech.... When he looks down....

Or this:

Here's a bit from Alice Eve:

Chiwetel Ejiofor - a bit more:

And just found Ben's speech from the beginning. (But then they seem to have cut it in the middle for tv screening...)

Interview on the red carpet:

Oh God... I'm tearing up here, watching this stuff and especially Ben's reaction to what is said about him... isn't he just... oh, I can't find the right words...

Oh god he looks like he's trying not to cry at least twice there! It must be so meaningful to have people who actually know you, and who actually appreciate the true breadth of what you do saying such wonderful things about you.
