Ben Whishaw paid tribute to 'queer hero' Norman Scott in his acceptance speech at Sunday night's Golden Globes.
The British actor scooped a surprise Best Supporting Actor in a series, limited series or motion picture win for his portrayal of Scott in BBC drama A Very English Scandal during the glittering ceremony.
He dedicated his first Golden Globe to Scott, the former stable hand who claimed to have had an affair with politiican Jeremy Thorpe (played by Hugh Grant).
Winner: Ben Whishaw paid tribute to 'queer hero' Normal Scott in his acceptance speech at Sunday night's Golden Globes as he won for his portrayal in A Very English Scandal
The BBC's three-part drama tells the story of Liberal Party member Thorpe, who fell from grace after he was put on trial for conspiracy and incitement to murder in connection to an attempted hit on his ex-lover, Scott.
'Wow, thank you so much, Hollywood Foreign Press,' Ben, 38, told the Hollywood crowd. 'I want to thank [director] Stephen Frears. What a legend. Thank you.'
'I want to thank the BBC for continuing to make idiosyncratic and powerful work and for employing me again and again, thank you.'

Dedication: The British actor told the crowd: 'There's one person I really, really want to dedicate this award to... He is a true queer hero and icon'
Get suited and booted like Ben in an embellished blazer by Alexander McQueen
Between his roles in A Very English Scandal, Paddington, Mary Poppins Returns and James Bond, it's safe to say Ben Whishaw is at the top of his game. And now he's gone and won a Golden Globe!
He wore top to toe Alexander McQueen to accept the Best Supporting Actor accolade, and although he decided against a bow tie, the Swarovski crystal embellished blazer more than made up for it! Between the luxe velvet fabric and the bird and floral motif, this jacket is the stuff of style dreams.
Unlike a lot of the custom made creations we spied on the red carpet, Ben's exact blazer is available to buy now at Mr Porter. But be warned: it will set you back just under £3000!

'There's one person I really, really want to dedicate this award to and it's the man I had the privilege to portray in this show, Norman Scott, who took on the establishment with courage and defiance that I find completely inspiring,' Ben said said.
'He is a true queer hero and icon.'
The jubilant actor also thanked his costar Hugh, who lost out on a win, saying, 'I have to thank Hugh Grant above all, for such an exquisite performance. It was amazing to watch you do that.'

Ben previously revealed in an interview with the Radio Times that Scott was 'very moved' when he was shown A Very English Scandal by director Stephen Frears.
The actor said he felt the weight of doing justice to Scott, explaining: 'I did feel a responsibility and at the same time I think any time you do something that’s based on real events you have to accept that it becomes a kind of fiction…'
'Fortunately, we had this incredible script so you’re just trying to do the script justice. You can’t think much beyond that. But there is a responsibility and I felt a connection to Norman and I wanted for him to like it. Thankfully he does, we’re told.'
Accolade: It was Ben's first Golden Globe win, as he beat out talent such as Alan Arkin and Henry Winkler in the Best Supporting Actor category
Ben beat Alan Arkin for The Kominsky Method, Kieran Culkin for Succession, Edgar Ramírez for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, and Henry Winkler for Barry.
It was a night of big wins for British stars, especially in the acting categories as Richard Madden won in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama for Bodyguard - another BBC drama.
Olivia Colman was also one of the night's big winners - scooping Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her big screen effort The Favourite.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
