100 BAFTA Moments - James McAvoy Wins the First Ever Rising Star Award

6 January 2015

32 days to go - he is presented the award by Patrick Stewart

After revealing the nominees for this year's EE Rising Star Award earlier today, it seems appropriate to look back when James McAvoy won the first one. Nominated alongside Gael García Bernal, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michelle Williams, McAvoy was presented the award by Patrick Stewart. They have recently starred together in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), both playing Charles Xavier!  

Since then, McAvoy has been nominated for two BAFTAs, and recently won a BAFTA Scotland Award for his performance in Filth (2013).
