And the BAFTA goes to Christopher Judge.
Oh, he's done it.
Thank you, BAFTA.
Thank you for 20 years of supporting the gaming industry.
My fellow nominees, it's been great getting to know you, getting to actually know some
that you feel so fortunate to be in the same category as.
Sunny, so fortunate to live with you for eight years.
I’d like to thank Sony, PlayStation and my beloved Sony Santa Monica.
All starts with Yumi Yang, our leader.
I'd like to thank Cory for hiring me to play this fellow.
Eric.
What a joy.
What a talent.
What a human being.
Matt, Rich and your team.
Thank you for these words.
Bruno.
You know, we started off rough, bruh, but you were always right.
You were always right.
Thank you.
To my fellow actors, this is ours.
Ours.
I am so honoured to not only call you family, to call you friends.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything that you've given in that volume.
This is not possible without you.
I'd like to thank my queen, my mother, who allowed me to dream.
Gave me a safe place to dream and allowed me to believe that anything I wanted to do
would be possible.
I’d like to thank my brother, Dr. Jeffrey Judge.
I love you.
Like to thank my children.
I am not the first Christopher Judge to win a BAFTA.
My oldest son actually won won best actor in a short film a few years back.
So now you can quit shit talking.
My children will always be my greatest accomplishment.
I would love to thank my wife.
Good Lord.
Everyone here knows the ups and downs of our business.
And she has not only been with me every step of the way, she somehow manages to do it with
grace and dignity when sometimes I don't have it myself.
And after my three day quarantine, I'm going to show you how much I appreciate you.
It is not lost on me that I'm a black man standing on a British stage accepting an award
for playing a Spartan Warrior, a Spartan God killer who in his heart only wants to be a
father.
It's the role of a lifetime.
I don't know if I'll ever have this again, but I'm going to live and breathe every moment
of this great gift that I was given.
And I will do it humbly and thankfully.
Thank you to the fans.
Be easier on each other.
You have more in common than what separates you.
No matter what platform you love, no matter what game you love, you're still part of the
gaming community and give each other a break.
As we are no longer a secret,
and we know this is - and this being gaming - is the pre-eminent medium for storytelling,
to all you beautiful, wonderful talented people in this room continue to be bold, continue
to be audacious, continue to be great.
I'm so humbled to be in your presence.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
