The 'Top Boy' actor, and now a BAFTA winner, discusses celebrating with the stars, and why he found Quentin Tarantino's"congratulations, mate" so funny., and Brad Pitt’s about wanting to call his award Harry because he was “excited about taking it back to the U.S.” the laughs, for many in the audience at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday night, the most moving moment of the ceremony came via local boy Micheal Ward.
Greeted with a hug on stage by award presenter Daniel Kaluuya , a beaming Ward appeared to lose his composure before thanking God, his late dad, his mum , his team,“When they started reading out the names, I was just focusing on keeping my breathing correct,” Ward tells“But from the moment of my heart beating faster and my name being called out, it was a blur.”
The appreciation was apparent for all to see, underlined by a Tweet sent on Tuesday in which Ward acknowledged his somewhat transformative 24 months leading up the BAFTAs, pointing out that exactly two years ago to the day he would have been “closing the shop” at bookmakers William Hill .
