- Summary: British Academy Film Awards 2014 British Academy Film Awards Ceremony
- Description:Tom Hardy presents the award for Leading Actress, won by Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), at the British Academy Film Awards 2014, held at the Royal Opera House, London, on 16 February, 2014 / Acceptance speech by Cate Blanchett - Thank you, BAFTA. I was sitting in row G so I thought that was a sign that I wouldn't be getting up here tonight. Jasmine was the most extraordinary opportunity for an actress, this actress. God, I'm unfit! So, to everyone who made that not only possible but so memorable and such a game changer for me, I thank you. But 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, Phillip Seymour Hoffmann. Phil, your monumental talent, your generosity and your unflinching quest for truth, both in art and in life, will be missed by not only me but by so many people, not only in the room and in the industry but the audiences who loved you so dearly. You raised the bar continually -- so very, very high -- and I guess all we can do in your absence is to try and raise it continually through our work. So, Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. I hope you're proud.
