Lovely. And so like him not to talk about himself but only about Alan Turing. Hope this will be first of many honours.

My thoughts exactly. The speech was all about Alan and not about Benedict. Wonderful.

Oh that was lovely and nearly made me cry.
Can't wait to see the film next week.
But guaranteed I'll be sobbing.

A well deserved win.

And what a speech, Ben is so selfless about this film, awesome!

(and I love what he was wearing!)

He's so damn eloquent.

But he's also still the dork who said "very good much."

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 16, 2014 3:15 am

The perfect balance, isn't it?

**Posted by besleybean** November 16, 2014 8:13 am

I think he was tired and possibly nervous!

Really?
I'm so naive.

I wasn't talking about the Hollywood Awards BB. I think he was quite sober there.
