Professor X giving the award to Professor X!

He has since said he regrets not kissing Anne-Marie, but he was in a state of shock at the time. The hug with Stephen Fry when he gets on stage is because Fry cast James in one of his first films 'Bright Young Things' 3 years earlier in 2003.

And there are we, still waiting for him to get an Oscar. It' just sad.

Patrick Stewart didn’t know that time he is going to replace him😂

[@MORBIDbEAUTY87]

He was grown tremendously since then. He carries himself so well and is such a great speaker. I love his interviews. Great things!

[@yaellen]

I think this was one of his very first important awards and he was a bit nervous, but he held himself well. And from this award he has gone so far and certainly will continue to grow.

[@AndrogyneMichinaga]

Nice speech and a big 'awe' at seeing the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger in the audience.

[@Farmgirl-iy9zc]

Met him at my airport job a couple of years ago and he's absolutely lovely; warm, friendly, great sense of humor.

[@wookieismycat]

[@philipsmith3084]

He is a super talented actor. I love watching his performances. He is also so handsome!

[@_victorugo]

[@Cristiniev]

I didn't expect to see Heath at the end... I miss him so much 💔💔

[@MissGemmaDoyle]

[@phunkysuzie]

[@SoAmazinglyCrafty1]

[@anonymousanthropoid]
