Last night, the British Academy Film Awards took place in London, with 12 Years a Slave taking honors as the years best film.
Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine and dedicated the honor to the late Philip Seymour Hoffman who died of an apparent heroin overdose earlier this month.
“I would like to dedicate this to an actor who has been a continual, profound touchstone for me, a monumental presence who is now so sadly in absence: the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman,” said the actress, “Phil, your monumental talent, your unflinching quest for truth both in art and in life will be missed by so many people,” she added. “You raised the bar continually. Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. Hope you’re proud.”
Cate wins yet another award (along with statues from the Golden Globes and SAG) for her portrayal in the beleaguered director’s latest effort. Pundits are wondering if the open letter Dylan Farrow, Woody’s adopted daughter posted, accusing him of sexually molesting her when she was seven will hurt Cate’s Oscar chances. Dylan called out Cate by name in her unsparing essay. If Cate’s BAFTA award is any indication, probably not.
Watch Cate’s moving acceptance speech below. And check out the list of all the winners at the bottom of the page.
