While accepting his award for Male Actor in a Leading Role at Sunday's 2015 SAG Awards, the Theory of Everything star gave a touching and perfectly delivered speech for his big win.
"Thank you so much. Thank you to the Screen Actors Guild," the 33-year-old Brit actor said. "This has been such an extraordinary year for performances and to be included in this number of Michael [Keaton], Ben [Cumberbatch], Jake [Gyllenhaal], Steve [Carell]…but beyond that, to Bradley Cooper and David Oyelowo, to Bradley Cooper—oh, I said Bradley Cooper. Timothy Spall, what an extraordinary man, is a great privilege for me. These are all actors I've admired."
Redmayne also honored Stephen Hawking, who he famously plays in The Theory of Everything, and those who have struggled with the disease he's afflicted with.
"I'd like to dedicate the award, this very wonderful, skinny man, to those people around the world living with ALS, to those who have lost their lives to this brutal disease," he said. "In preparing to play Stephen, I met many people fighting ALS and I met their families fighting alongside them and the courage and the bravery and the spirit—the triumphant spirit I witnessed—blew my mind. So I'm incredibly grateful to them. To Stephen and Jane back in Cambridge, thank you for allowing someone who gave up science when they were 14 years old to enter your orbit...Thank you for reminding me of the overwhelming power of the will to love and the will to live every second of your life as fully and as passionately as possible."
After his speech, Redmayne told E! News of his win, "It was really unexpected. There's really a lot of euphoric noise going on in my head."
