Sure Cillian is great and deserves more recognition but… Whishaw delivered a top-notch performance as dr Kay, he is simply one of the finest actors of his generation. Well-deserved award

[@sarahdean6441]

Come guys, I adore Cillian and his acting but it wasn't his year. Ben told a story that needed telling about the NHS and its awesome staff and their day-to-day struggles and heartbreak, he did it with passion, dignity and authenticity and truly deserved this award.

[@joanie3452]

Nope Cillian was robbed, I love Ben but it should of been Cillian.

[@sevraonic8656]

Not only the NHS but the awareness about medical professionals, practitioners and their struggles in their field sheds light of how self inflicting and pressured their work can be on this show was so refreshing.

[@sevraonic8656]

He deserved that without being biased. He has that authenticity as an actor without any fuss and yes been watching him for a while and he makes thing more memorable.

[@StarDesSuedens]

People saying Cillian was robbed clearly didn't watch Thia is Going to Hurt. I like Cillian and he's stellar actor bur popularity of the show does not determine individual awards (Even though sometimes does)

[@killianMurph777]

Popularity of the show ? That show is underrated and we’re saying cillian should have got because he has crafted the character over a decade and they’re is not even a single recognition for him for bringing soul in that character

[@ЛюдмилаКостанянц]

Я с тобой согласна, Киллиан отдал всего себя персонажу Томас Шелби,Я надеюсь у него останутся силы и энергия чтобы создать новый шедевр и подарить нам незабываемые эмоции.

[@tippysdaddy7468]

Just love Ben Whishaw he is an excellent actor. ❤ So glad he was awarded for his talents.

[@gillanlorna487]

Aww Ben so well deservef. You are an amazing actor and seem such a lovely man ❤

[@screamingseal1137]

so so deserved. Ben ripped my heart out with that role

[@taromilktea4834]

After watching this is going to hurt for the second time on BBC iPlayer… I must say Ben is so well-deserved. Brilliant acting and wonderful show.

[@palace315]

Well deserved, Ben is a brilliant actor 👏👏👏

[@trishaaggarwal5809]

Loved the show so much, so happy for Ben

[@pouetpouetdaddy5]

I never seen someone as confident in acting and so the other way in real life. Anxious bubble

[@mrajabalmukarrom]

HE KEEPS WINNING AND WINNING!!! 😍🫶🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@lukasky03]

How the Baftas have not recognized Cillian ever for his stellar work is insane. But that's OK he will get an Oscar for Oppenheimer.

[@xenafan234]

They Did Recognize Him, THEY NOMANATED him.

[@timlynch5710]

Murphy is Irish. Historically brits don't take so kindly to them.

[@spiritforever1]

Maybe because Ben Whishaw is just amazing in his role??

[@twononcriticsandacat]

Agreed 100% he will get an Oscar for Oppenheimer.

[@datgrrl5698]

@timlynch5720 brits? You do mean the english because the Scottish and the Welsh love the Irish and vice versa. Not many like the english but after the way the english treated anyone who wasn't english including the Irish, the Scots, the Welsh, the Carribbean, the Indian, the Japanese...cor but it is a never ending list...the Greek... education is online and is free

[@eliudsosa2829]

Bravoo🎉🎉 wonderful performance, no question he was the best last year.. Love that show

[@wandamaximoffscarletwitch8535]

The person who said Cillian has been robbed clearly never know who ben whishaw is. Even kit harrington admit that he is copied his acting style. And I have brits friends who went to acting school and they said even their teachers told them that Ben Whishaw is the perfect role model as an actor. He is not just actor, he is a professional actor

[@darrensmith4932]

Wonderful actor and well deserved.

[@KW-ro5ow]

Totally agree.

[@pruneforeign6281]

Agree ! This is going to hurt is one of the best shows I ve seen

[@allison6515]

So Happy for you Ben and Adam,the Best show by far,well done to you all xxx

[@wandamaximoffscarletwitch8535]

This is his second bafta! It proved how great is he as an actor!

[@bralnagen1005]

He deserve awards much more for best actor from movie of perfume

[@hamadino]

The look of disdain on Martin Freeman's face at the beginning... But I see even he couldn't help but be charmed by Ben at the end.

[@aspasialogica8416]

Brilliant actor, great show!

[@pierrelahaye1319]

I think cillian deserve it more because thomas shelby is one of the most iconic character of all time and his performance in peaky blinders is légendary

[@daniya19]

Ben Whishaw 👏🌹

BAFTA made the right choice, for a change.

Is there a sub in the house? It's Ben WHISHAW

[@jpunicorn9306]

[@AloneKarma]

The bafta or an Emmy it doesn't matter. I already know Cillian holding the Oscar in 2024

[@yessica4932]

if they didn’t really matter you wouldn’t have bothered writing that

[@AintMls00]

The 🐐! 🔥🔥🔥

[@elenaverde7356]

Ambika should also have been nominated, she was phenomenal.

[@Mech_boy090]

I hope oscar does justice to cillian

[@sudeshnapal1832]

I'm so so glad that this is going to be a reality. Cillian has been snubbed time and time again

[@junji9934]

and it did !

[@oliveyuh3138]

yall are just sleeping on taron :C

[@renaissanceman5296]

How do you not give that award to Cillian? I’ll never watch the BAFTA’s again.

[@AintMls00]

No one cares!

[@petermacdonough9077]

YESSS!!! Richard the II wins again!!!!👑

[@ginnymarshall6773]

Cillian Murphy was robbed but he’s very humble and also human. He worked incredibly hard in this role and he has to be very disappointed. His family is very proud of him and support him. That’s all that really matters

[@michellewilson7489]

He was totally cheated he deserved this award Cillian is a phenomenal actor.

[@baehkun113]

this is insane Cillian the one who actually really deserves it

[@ferxxanii4938]

nope

[@stonecake313]

Ben is one of the best actors of his generation, it made sense for him to win. Cillian is a great actor, but just because he’s popular right now and has acted in a long running series doesn’t mean he should win.

[@ferxxanii4938]

[@Story_Fuel]

Thomas Shelby is one the greatest actors to come out of British television with a show that reached a global audience …

[@ferxxanii4938]

if that were the case, you would know that this is the name of the character of the show and not the actor🤣

[@aloneinbillions7882]

Cilian Murphy! ❤

Cillian should have won for season 4 of Peaky.

[@ЛюдмилаКостанянц]

I am writing my comment in the hope that our favorite actor Killian will read it. I write using a translator. Killian, dear, know that there are many of us and we love you, you are beautiful and talented. I wish you strength, health and a bouquet of emotions. Give us the opportunity to see you again in the role of Thomas❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

So?

That has no relevance. It's an acting award from peers - number of times nominated does not come into it!

Ben is now a three times bafta award winning actor. Known for MUCH more than Paddington, give it a watch it’s a great drama

[@rehnumachowdhury3629]

Have you watched the show? I thought it would be another BBC show that I forget about in a few days, but it was heartbreaking and Ben played the heck out of it.

[@bamboozle83]

What a joke, he's not even a good actor and instantly turn off from anything he's on. Oh wait a minute, he's a luvvie isn't he. The usual PC nonsence expected from the PC crowd. The least deserving of the other contenders. Hey ho.

Cillian should of got this award it’s not fair he was cheated we all know Cillian is the best actor and phenomenal.What a joke 😭

[@eileensuzannemockridge3610]

Nonsense. Whishaw the best performance of the year by far. I think Murphy would be embarrassed by your continual 'cheating' comment

you better work! ✨♥️
