Following his Best Actor wins at the Golden Globes and SAG awards, it wasn’t a big surprise that Malek took the same gong at the BAFTAs. While he missed out on the Critics’ Choice Award to Christian Bale for Vice, Malek now looks incredibly likely to pick up his first Oscar later this month. The 37-year-old actor’s win was one of two of Bohemian Rhapsody’s seven nominations – with the other going to Sound. In his acceptance speech, Malek thanked Freddie Mercury, who he played in the film, calling him “the greatest outsider of them all.”
Malek said: “This is truly extraordinary. Really. Thank you to BAFTA for this gorgeous gift.
“I still cannot believe I’m included with this group of actors I so respect and admire. I share this with you guys. Every moment.
“I thank my lucky stars. It’s quite difficult entering your world in this role as an outsider.
“You Brits, you do it so well. And it’s not lost on me how sacred your musical heritage is. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, for including me.”
