He won the BAFTA, the Golden Globe, and the Screen Actors’ Guild Award in the run-up to last night.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have claimed they should have 'dressed down' on their dramatic royal tour last week.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were caught up in a media firestorm last week after anti-monarchy comments by political leaders and protests rom angry crowds cast a shadow over their Caribbean tour.Gaffes made by the couple included a 'poorly angled' photograph showing them interacting with children behind fences. Kate also appeared to be brutally snubbed by Jamaican politician and Miss World 1993 Lisa Hanna.Now, several commentators have said that the couple should have ditched their designer clothes and 'dressed-down' to avoid offending the locals.Writing in the Daily Mail, pro-royal columnist Jan Moir saved some sharp words for the Cambridges, first taking aim at William for adorning himself "in the tropical dress of his old regiment, trundling around a field in a jeep with his medals on his chest, his wife in a hat by his side and a ceremonial sword in his hand." "Dear God, it couldn’t have been more colonial if he had worn a pith helmet and driven a tank through the streets of Kingston", she added.Moir also criticised his efforts at damage control after several PR disasters in a row, saying that "every time he tried to help, he only made things worse" as he failed to emphasise the UK's role in ending slavery when expressing his "profound sorrow" for the British Empire's transgressions.Internet users also singled out their choice of clothing as having affected their reception on the tour, with one responding to the column by writing: "I think they should have dressed down a bit especially her.
