Olivia Colman was so overwhelmed by her Oscar win that it took a year to sink in. The star who played the Queen in The Crown took the best actress gong for playing another monarch, in the drama The Favourite.

She said the 2019 win was a big pinch-me moment: “It was such a “head f***”. I can’t believe it happened. “I went quiet. It is only a year later that it registered and now the little gold man is sitting in a cupboard.” The versatile 47-year-old, who found fame in comedy Peep Show, nearly won a second little gold man.

She was up for this year’s best supporting actress Oscar for The Father. It would have been a fair reward for one our finest and most hardworking actresses.
