97 days to go - Bob Hoskins wins for his performance in Mona Lisa
In 1987, Bob Hoskins won the Leading Actor award for his performance as George in Neil Jordan's Mona Lisa (1986). His fellow nominees in the category included Woody Allen, Michael Caine and Paul Hogan. This was the first BAFTA that Hoskins was awarded, having previously been nominated for Pennies From Heaven (1978), The Long Good Friday (1980) and The Honorary Consul (1983). Hoskins was presented the award by Anne Bancroft (pictured below).
A brilliantly versatile and much-loved actor, Hoskins sadly passed away on April 29 2014.
