James McAvoy presenting Jack O'Connell The EE Rising Star Award at BAFTA 2015

[@ames92]

The people who are saying that this guy didn't deserve this award obviously haven't seen his work. I watched him in Skins years ago and thought he was one of the most talented actors of his age. He was great in Skins but his work in the past year has blown me away. A very talented man and a much deserved award.

[@MHScrat]

When I was watching the video I saw him and wanted him to win, he looked really good

[@ElizaMogha]

Amy Richardson so this is where I know him from! And I was wondering why he looked so familiar when I watched him in Fever Tulip! Thanks for sharing this!

[@benstewart648]

I'm faaaaackin cooook

[@melaniewood2619]

He's an excellent actor. I read that the sign of a good actor is that you don't really notice them because they are so good and such a chameleon, think Gary Oldman at the beginning of his career in JFK, Dracula, State of Grace, True Romance. Jack O'Connell is the same. He seems to be trying to play totally different people and succeeding. I'm sure he'll go down as one of the greats. And when I hear he's doing a film with the director of THE best film ever (in my opinion) ....Heat. I can't help getting excited for him. 👏

[@BucyKalman]

His character on Skins wasn't much of a challenge for him though as, in many ways, he was playing himself. I think other actors on the show, like Ollie Barbieri who was playing a teen with an autistic spectrum disorder, had to work harder to be in character in my humble opinion.

[@vikkihogg]

Jack O’Connell is immensely talented. He deserved that award - full stop !

[@wajihaabbas9295]

James McAvoy really deserves the honour of presenting the award. His hard work has finally been rewarded !

[@kellyz1414]

lol he actually presented these kinds of awards for so many times, both Oscars and BAFTAs... And actually he deserves any one of these two for his talent. He just needs better scripts.

[@nutterbipple]

Watched Unbroken and '71, terrific acting. He goddamn deserves it.

[@AzWazzZa]

'71 was a phenomenal performance. Amazing actor

[@alexashelby2917]

I can only imagine people who were upset by Jack winning had wanted Shaeline to win for her performance in 'The Fault in our Stars'. But Jack deserved this award; he's worked extremely hard and gives it his all every time he's in front of the camera. Jack is extremely versatile, convincing, energetic and all around impressive. He's unforgettable. I'm proud of how far he's come since Cook!

[@YoungJusticeLuv]

His acting always caught my eye in Skins, and so when I discovered the trailers for his film Unbroken, I couldn't help but be proud of Jack, and I recently watched his other movie '71 as well, and I was not disappointed. Well fucking done Cook.

[@johanna006]

James McAvoy speaks so well.

[@lovyazid]

once Cook , always COOOOOOOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@marianasam4087]

James was clearly happy jack won, two lads and two legends. Jack is just tremendous, an incredibly strong actor

[@oliviaknowles6686]

I love how Mcavoy goes in for like the shoulder bump and the other dude just was NOT expecting it!😂

[@daisymoore880]

I've even watching jack since skins and I'm not gonna lie when It was a proud moment when I watched the baftas of TV and saw him get his award :') he really doe deserve it! everything he's been in has been amazing especially 71, unbroken and started up but I also the less recognised films like the liability ect. there really is no limit to what he can do! I also LOVE James so this was just the perfect moment :D

[@daisymoore880]

My spelling isnt that bad^^, stupid auto correct doesnt work😐😂

[@ianwilliam3811]

Not bad for a chap from Derby. This guy is outstanding, he can do the most flawless accents from cockney, Irish and American. Well deserved.

[@theshaman21]

he was great in season 7 of skins. showed how much he has grown as an actor

[@annabosmann4797]

theshaman21 The ending was so sad.... Hope he will find Effy and is finally happy......he deserves that

[@Shade571]

He beat Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley and Margot Robbie What a legend

[@itkojecockot]

[@Sparklejumpropequeen374]

He's deserves it ❤️ he's amazing

[@shesus1986]

[@pramderooy7037]

So lacking in confidence . He meant it as a sarcastic remark! : ) By that he saw jack o connell actually being very confident.

[@jderrickson4597]

This award has aged Very well considering his body of work before and after this

[@PompeyBoy66]

A great actor

[@emiliedavies4016]

[@laybajunaid3074]

Best part of this video that made my day 3:24

[@RAPIDBL4ZE]

For those who say he doesnt deserve it ..watch his movies and watch him in the movie ..eden lake..he is a awesome versatile actor

[@FicFactNam]

HE SAID NOTTINGHAM! 3:58

[@TheZibby13]

omg

[@donnybrasco9026]

Does anyone know what the full extent of what Stephen Fry says at the end before it cuts off?

[@irenewalker4466]

"Ah, so lacking in confidence." Being facetious, of course.

[@ank2532]

Stephen’s look 🥰 4:16

[@ellasy825]

SEXY!

[@cherikmcfassy8978]

What was he saying at 1:19? Was it "I can speak for all of you here", or "I can speak for all of your peers?"

[@147bentaylor]

an i can speak for all your peers when i said that we cannot wait to see what you do over over the next 10 years of your career lets have a look at their current work

[@cherikmcfassy8978]

TaylorBen420 Thank you!

[@halisyilmaz1560]

[@JaSta0810]

Znak rozpoznawczy MaAvoya to ręce w kieszeniach. :D

[@kindgirl89]

4:31-4:39 what is he saying?

[@jackgibbs]

Speaking of which, are all these spare BAFTA's? Has anyone claimed them?

[@timtags]

Biased much BAFTAs? The Wolf of Wallstreet was a beast of a movie directed by one of the greatest directors of all time and Whiplash is an Academy Award Winning movie overlooked by up and coming British star Jack O'Connell.

[@hz0gzq]

Double Yum

[@____4bon4____]

#chocolatedigestives 😂❤

[@S.R.A.B0XER]

Am I the only one who wanted Miles Teller to win? He was fantastic in whiplash.

[@feli594]

yes you are the only one

[@taneep8990]

he was bloody brilliant but i then so is jack! it was a tough choice that's for sure

[@dickidsrip5262]

Skins have to have to be up there with the most successfull alums
