BAFTAs 2018: 7 Ups & 6 Downs
5. Sam Rockwell Dedicates His Award To Alan Rickman
After Sam Rockwell won the Best Supporting Actor BAFTA, he took to the stage to dedicate the award to his late pal - and Galaxy Quest co-star - Alan Rickman.
Rockwell said, "There's a quote, it might have been Alan Rickman, who said 'there are no great actors, only great roles'. It might be Alan, but that’s certainly the case with a Martin McDonagh's script...I’m very lucky to be here tonight, thank you to the British academy. This is for my pal Alan Rickman, I’ll see you at the bar, thank you."
Rockwell may have been an unadventurous choice for winner, but at least he gave one hell of a heartfelt speech, also thanking his co-star Frances McDormand and his partner Leslie Bibb.
