I remember Martin Freeman winning for John Watson. Andrew Scott winning for Moriarty but Benedict got 3 nominations and never a win for Sherlock. He performed so many incredible Sherlock scenes with passion but hey, at least his dream role - Patrick Melrose made him win. That's a win-win.

[@benzaiten933]

since Patrick Melrose was such a passion project for him it probably means even for it to be his first win.

[@eclaire_x88x]

Yeah its beyond rediculous that he hasn't had one for Sherlock

[@mariedonozo1696]

@@eclaire_x88x at least he got a emmy.

[@iamgroot2810]

Bafta didn't deserve him.

[@misse0077]

He deserves every award there is for Sherlock. That will remain one of the best shows I have ever seen, if not THE best

[@tina19951]

8 nominations, 14 years. FINALLY HE DID IT and with the role of his dreams. BENEDICT YOU ARE AMAZING. LOVE U

[@laurasebert4038]

"I am very used to being a bridesmaid and not the bride" That made me feel so bad, it reminded me of Sherlock doing the wedding speech. He should know that he's always the "bride" for so many people, I mean... in my opinion he's the best actor and one of the best people of the entire world.

[@mmwapec]

I felt that too

[@slcRN1971]

He is an incredibly gifted actor. He is fantastic in every program that I have ever seen him in. Wow, it is difficult to believe how long it took for such a talented actor to receive a much deserved award.

[@tttoooppp_s]

@@DeborahStoykova I enjoyed the first series very much. But I couldn't help feeling that, indeed, they went south toward the end. The last series was pure confusion (a sister! I ask you) and only little deduction.

[@michael1130]

Rip one of the best actresses of all time...damn Helen was only 52 😥

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

OH, my thoughts exactly. And saw her husband in the audience, near Benedict. I so enjoyed her in Penny Dreadful, she held the room with her presence. As an American, I wasn't that familiar with her other work, but I shall seek it out. She seemed to be getting more recognition, so deserved. Of course you Brits know already though. So sorry, she was far too young.

[@julianelovesyou1130]

I love him !! He deserved it so much!

[@vanshikachats]

I have never watched any Helen Mcrory’s performance yet but i plan to. It’s sad when people as charming, witty and incredible as her pass away. This 2 minute clip of her talking shows her qualities. What a woman!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Yes, I loved her in Penny Dreadful, she was so memorable. RIP
