Sigh… Benedict Cumberbatch. Benny made sure to Batch his way through last night’s GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. Too bad he didn’t bring #AlltheVelvet. Nor did he unleash the #Cumbercurls. Sadness. What he did bring was a heavy dose of dirt-lip and VEST. Benedict Cumberbatch = Vesty McDirtLip. And I’m okay with it. Mostly because I know #AlltheVelvet and #Cumbercurls are coming at a later date. Benedict must slowly prepare us for his Oscar campaign. He’s easing us into it. Right now we’re just getting the tip.
And you know what else is great? Benedict won Actor of the Year! I guess this is the new thing for Benedict – he’s actually winning awards and such. First the Emmy, now a GQ Actor of the Year Award. Then maybe some critics’ awards, then maybe a Golden Globe? Here’s GQ UK’s write-up:
Even for an actor with a hit rate as good as his, Benedict Cumberbatch has had a superlative year. The 38-year-old returned to the small screen in the third series of BBC’s Sherlock, went blockbuster for The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, put in an epic performance in 12 Years A Slave and next month excels alongside the cream of Brit talent as Alan Turning in Enigma-code biopic The Imitation Game.
Then there’s the small matter of his forthcoming starring role in Hamlet at the Barbican, the announcement for which caused a frenzy of excitement, sold out and became easily the most in-demand British theatre production of all time. Now, following his Emmy for Sherlock, Cumberbatch has gone one better and takes centre stage once more, with his Actor Of The year prize win at the GQ Men Of the Year awards. Collecting his award, Cumberbatch said: “This is wonderful. I’d like to thank James McAvoy for not being available. But seriously, it’s an embarrassment of riches. I’m in one of those extraordinary rooms with extraordinary people. Thank you Mum and Dad for rearing me. Wait, what century am I in? I’m going to leave the stage now because I drank a lot and I need the loo.”

So charming, so drunk, and he managed to give a shout-out to his mum. I’m sure that made Wanda very happy. I’m surprised Wanda wasn’t his date, quite honestly. I think he went stag to this event. He probably met up with his secret girlfriend afterwards. Do you think the sex is better after he’s won an award? I bet it is.
