katikat | BAFTA for Andrew Scott

Last night, Andrew Scott won a BAFTA for his part as Moriarty in Sherlock, beating Martin Freeman in the category Supporting Actor (which I didn't really mind because Martin Freeman won a BAFTA in this category last year already). It made me really happy that he won, I WANTED him to win because his Moriarty was rockin' awesome. I know that some people didn't like his version, his portrayal of the genius professor but I did. Especially compared to Jared Harris' Moriarty in SH:AGoS - what a cold fish with no charisma! Scott's Moriarty was a sociopath and no professor but, sheesh on a pogo stick, was he scary! Not for nothing is my favorite quote from S1, "Dear Jim, please, will you fix it for me..."

But Benedict Cumberbatch didn't win. AGAIN :( Seriously, what does he have to do to win the damn thing? I mean, everybody and their uncle is tripping over their feet to get the guy, praising him for his amazing acting skills and nada for him? Two times in a row? Argh *hands*

So, joy and disappointment at the same time. And Sherlock won't be eligible for another BAFTA till 2014 *grumbles* I mean, I know that the success of a show or the greatness of an actor cannot be measured by the number of awards won but this is terribly disappointing.
