No but what is this crazy thing, letting a person talk about the experience for 6 minutes! Insanity. Almost like we have a heart.

[@gabrielripw0lf293]

not like game awards 10 sec, not even that

[@Cooperal]

@@gabrielripw0lf293 I was thinking the same thing. I had a feeling of anxiety through this whole speech and I think the lasting impression of the most recent Game Awards left on me. They didn't blink messages at him to hurry up, they didn't start playing exit music prematurely, they didn't give two thirds of the time to paid promotions. They just let us take in the celebration. Neil Newbon looked like he had a gun trained on him at the Game Awards. He was on and off the mic in the space of a minute. He did well but you can tell from multiple things that he said that he was too flustered from the time constraints to compose himself and remember everything that he wanted to say. I would say poor guy, but the reason he was up there were reasons we are all proud of for him.

[@gabrielripw0lf293]

@@Cooperal yeah man the whole show was about the new upcoming releases and not about rewarding the devs, the company, the actors that put the effort to make this gorgeous games. If money is problem with this kind of of show, maybe next time just host it home and that's it. That was a spit in the face for everyone that was there. Imagine wining game of the year and suddenly you see on the screen to hurry up. They didn't have a proper chance to announce the xbox release as well.

[@TheJCghost]

Its so great to see, but the people that watch this actually cares about the industry and the art of it. There so many that just want to see new releases

[@SkatKat]

@@Cooperal Absolutely, it feels so unpleasant when they're rushed. We're here to celebrate them, let them take their time!

[@agirlnamedmichael1670]

They let him make a proper speech- the BAFTA Games Awards is awesome just for this

[@dipanjandasgupta6170]

EXACTLY! At least they are respectful and don't play music in the middle of a speech like they did with Neil at the other award

[@love-soba]

It's hard to impress people with villains these days, but Raphael is such a wonderful combination of dramatic, devilish charm and just the right amount of ridiculous that I never felt bored listening to him. Applause!

[@DaxterL]

It's a sort of return to classics. Every now and then we have to dial back, rewind and perfect what was before so that we can continue in further creative stuff and to refresh our pallete as well. Honestly when it comes to art in the public view, throughout history it's like a cycle of: "This is the style -> We hate the style, we make our style with blackjack an hookers -> y'know retro sounds fun----" and then it keeps going back around and around. It's kinda fun.

[@goulasleves12]

“Keep being creative. Keep creating these worlds, and maybe one day we’ll learn to protect the one we’re in.” I love that quote, and hope that for all of us. He did an an amazing performance. 😊

[@katielulu]

What's better then a devil you don't know a devil you do

[@caffedinator5584]

I loved every scene with Raphael in it. His voice acting was top notch. Well deserved!

[@bubble8c492]

Even his speech was impressive, he speaks so confidently and smoothly even in front of all those people for that long XD so deserved!!

[@blueberryshake333]

Isn't he so smooth? He has a great voice and he knows it.

[@elizabethduffy2145]

The fact they didn't have his song ready to play him in was a missed opportunity, but so glad he won. Raphael was an amazing character with an incredible performance :)

[@lordcy9615]

His voice is just butter. Also thank you to the Baftas for letting these amazing people fucking TALK.

[@MC.617]

Congratulations Andrew, you brought Raphael to life with an amazing performance. Best voice in the business!

[@r0ckbass]

This is a REAL games award show.

[@wajeehahmed93]

By far the toughest fight on BG3 for me and it happened to be earlier today when I was streaming. One of my viewers told me he won the award as I was in the middle of the battle with him.

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

Ohh, that just sounds epic!

[@Michelle___xoxoxoxo]

Major congrats to him. If anyone doesn't know, he's a prolific audiobook narrator, so if you can't get enough Raphael, there's always that (Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn would be a place to start, imo lol)

[@ricksanchez1414]

Hell,hell,hell has its laws...

[@FocusOnThePie]

Hell, hell, effects and the cause!

[@adalbert7636]

Curtain falls, but HOLD your applause!

[@breyererbest]

Squirm, squirm, for now down here come the CLAWS!

[@ComradeCaspy]

Fools, fools, how hard you have fought

[@henryweiland7761]

That 6 minute speech flew by! This man is so entertaining and has such a smooth voice

[@carbonfibercarpet4655]

Thank you giving this man time to speak. Every word he speaks just sounds legendary.

[@neville2308]

Good for him! He truly deserves it. Such a talented voice actor. I hope this success gets him many, many more roles.

[@lenakingsleigh]

I was honestly never so stoked and excited for anyone winning an award, than I was for Andrew! I've had the privilege to interview him a week before the BAFTAS and I can only say that he's an incredibly nice, humble and funny guy and I'm so proud of him for receiving all the recognition that he deserves! He just absolutely rocked it as Raphael!

[@nicolo4219]

The quintessence of british charisma and manners. He IS Raphael throung and through.

[@ShoulderNo1]

Well deserved Even if he is contending with Cristopher Judge with the longest award speech of all time.

[@-thrawn-]

Long speech but very entertaining and quite in-character for Raphael

[@neville2308]

Long but entertaining and interesting.

[@supertavio2]

We need more of those!

[@Nukle0n]

It's fine if you don't have Al Pacino standing on stage waiting for you to finish.

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

It was the highlight of Christopher Judge's career, so I don't blame him at all. Also he played it off really well a year after the fact. Such a cool guy.

[@julietm.5425]

Raphael easily became one of my favorite characters. Thanks to Andrew for bringing him to life

[@noirmeitte]

I'm most pleased that he got the award. (and the one for Borislav/Music)

[@Nukle0n]

Big congrats to Mr. Wincott. I remember him from games like Nexus: The Jupiter Incident and The Witcher 1, lots of smaller projects where he always stood out.

[@tomrowell1558]

So well-deserved, BG3 was a clear game of the year and Raphael was the most memorable character for me, on my third play through now and he’s the only one I wouldn’t dare skip any dialogue for!

[@tanjakrone4147]

The award win that made me the happiest! 😃 What a voice, what a talent and what a charming man!

[@doubledigital_]

i love watching BG3 family win stuff so proud of them all.. one of the best games i have played in a VERY VERY VERY long time...

[@Shamal.De-Sykes]

Congratulations to Andrew! His voice & performance were absolutely spot on for the character he played, Raphael is captivating & charismatic, really enjoyed playing this game what a gem

[@dafnewho]

Andrew is a gem. Well deserved ♥

[@toknowwhyuneed3593]

I love this man for what he did for Baldur's Gate 3. Really just a pleasure to listen to him. I've played the game a few times, but I can never skip Raphael's dialogue it would be like eating a world class scone in one bite, such a waste, you have to savor this man's performance.

[@Roa-chan]

I'm so happy for him, absolutely love his role as raphael❤️

[@excitableboy1816]

Thank you bafta for allowing all of the winners a chance to speak without playing them off. Top stuff. Well done Andrew amazing performance as Raphael

[@Haarlep]

Félicitations Andrew ! ❤️ Ton interprétation de jouer Raphaël a été magistrale, tu le mérites amplement ! Je suis si heureuse pour toi 😢😢

[@sezkay1283]

Fantastic, a well deserved award. & I don't think I've ever listened to a more entertaining speech.

[@sphinyal8758]

So deserved! So happy for Mr Wincott! 🥰

[@marcduhamel-guitar1985]

Thanks for letting Mr.Wincott speak! A standout performance in a cast which brought soul to this fantastic game. Cheers !

[@neville2308]

[@qcumber6652]

[@ChasingTheEchoesOG]

A trait of magnificent speaker. I could listen to him for hours.

Good one 😄

[@adarlingmess]

Truly well deserved! Congratulations Mr. Wincott! And he's so supportive of us creatives in the fandom too! 🥺🙏

[@MakotoTachibanana]

I could listen to him all day he deserved his bafta Congrats 🎉

[@bubble8c492]

Im so happy for him!!! Raphael is my favourite character, he steals every scene he's in, i cannot think of a single line that could be performed better, he aced them all! I hope he enjoys his success and i hope we can see him in many different roles to come ^^

[@ChasingTheEchoesOG]

I think of word "impeccable" when I hear him talk.

[@nairazak_art]

My favorite response was “until it was perfect”

[@caseyclark7564]

Massive congratulations. So deserved!

[@Cookieforevah]

Congrats Andrew your performance was amazing.

[@Moon222]

The first time I heard Raphael talk. I was so excited! He had such an amazing voice, dialogue, and pronunciation!

[@veronicadefalco2320]

TI AMOOOOOOOOOO

[@Enkarashaddam]

The man sang his heart out for BG3 give him all the baftas!

[@SpoopyIris]

Well deserved! Im so happy for him!

[@Ladyfaeyrys]

Im so happy he won! Truly deserved. His performance as Raphael was amazing.

[@DrDankPhD]

This man could sell me on anything. What an absolutely delightful performance. He really was the first portrayal of a devil who felt truly devilish, and you actually find yourself being tempted by him.

[@Romanticvampyre6]

Such a sophisticated speech and actor! His voice mannerisms are a pleasure to listen to. 😌

[@Xieken]

I remember when i first met Raphael, the first thing that came to mind was the voice acting, it was nothing like I've ever experienced before, like another level. He deserved every award won.

[@michellewahbeh9609]

I’ve been WAITING for him to get an award for this role! Finally, he gets his time in the spotlight for it! Raphael is one of my fave bg3 characters, solely due to his voice ❤

[@regisatlas]

oh HELLS YES! his voice gives me the shivers each time, absolutely spectacular

[@erica5624]

I’m so happy for him, he really brought Raphael to life

[@Duckman8213]

I hope he has a villain character in every Larian game from here on.

[@elf_bot]

So deserved

[@Krechas]

What an absolutely beautiful speech. It's also lovely to see an awards even that is really about the ones winning them. Thank you.

[@Memokkeen]

"I don't know how many years it has been - since my first session in this game" One of us! One of us! ❤ Raphael is one of the most iconic, best bits in the game and I have been waiting for Andrew to get a well-deserved reward for being absolutely legendary, iconic even!

[@DarkLadyoftheLullaby]

He seems like such a genuinely lovely guy. Congratulations to him. 👏

[@Lovely2291]

HELL YES ANDREW!!

[@mariocordeiro6888]

Great speech! He deserved it! Tks BAFTA for letting people speak!

Fuck yes I want to hear professionals speak about their experiences and give me insight into the industry. Thank you Bafta for giving them the time

[@LynTheWitch]

Best villain in a long time!

[@LadyJessicaWilliams]

Gods he is so cuddly as a human being!

[@rogersjgregory]

He was fantastic as Raphael. A standout, in a sea of standouts.

[@waffle-waffle5416]

The moment I meet Raphael in BG3 I suddenly become nothing more than a peasant, his delivery were so powerful

[@Songfugel]

So freaking deserved, even though I was not personally a fan of how Raphael's arc and role seemed to be shortened/changed to a stump of what it could have/should have been, the voice acting was still so amazing for him at every point I hope he starts doing audiobooks, man, I would love to hear him read forgotten realms or 40k audiobooks ps. Pretty sure Sam and Max used voice acting way before Broken Sword or Tomb Raider, unlike what he said. And some other LucasArts games might have used them even before. I still remember being so excited for finally being able to find one of the first SoundBlaster sound cards for sale in my country, with a circuit that could play non-midi sounds. And the first game I tried it on, was Sam and Max that was fully voiced back in 1993 during DOS era!

[@alyasya8226]

What a speech! Thank you for letting this wonderful person speak for as long as he needed, that was amazing.

[@rattymenace]

So deserved!!!

[@NadMia27]

Mr Wincott, sir.. i have to tell you that i am *OBSESSED* with Raphael 😂 thank you for bringing him to life~ imagine me diving into BG3 for Astarion but ended up liking Raphael's theatrics, enjoying his narcissism and loving his (your beautiful) voice.. then one day, someone-a friend who doesn't play BG3-showed me Raphael's fanart and said to me "hey, that's the devil you are obsessing over, right??" and my response was " i am _OBSESSING_ over Raphael?!" 😂 and the rest is history.. it's been months and i am still not over Raphael so that confirms that fact, i guess lol and last but not least, Congratulations on winning~ i love how you started and ended your speech in Raphael's character.. and i could not stop myself from fawning over your own theatrics during your speech 😂 edit: oh yeah.. i forgot to mention this.. TIL that you did the mocap yourself too?! oh my~ thank you, i guess?? (gosh, i feel guilty and suddenly bashful 😂)
