    Sam Rockwell thanked the "annoyingly handsome" Martin McDonagh after winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the BAFTAs

    The 49-year-old actor paid tribute to his 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' director, admitting that McDonagh was largely responsible for him winning the coveted gong at the annual awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday night (18.02.18)


    He shared: "I'm humbled to be among my fellow nominees, these are all amazing actors. I never dreamed I'd be standing here in London on stage celebrating this incredible movie with all you tonight.

    "There are no great actors, only great roles - and that's certainly the case with the Martin McDonagh script. He's annoyingly handsome to be as talented a writer and director as he is."

    Rockwell also hailed his co-star Frances McDormand, describing her as the "rock" of the movie.

    Speaking in reference to the Time's Up and #MeToo movements - which have been a major talking point of this year's bash - the actor

    explained: "I think as we engage in this long overdue discussion about women in the work place, I also stand on the shoulders of these strongest, intelligent, righteous women, who have made my life complete. Fran, you're the rock of this film, you make me proud to be an actor."

    The crime-drama movie tells the story of a mother who rents three billboards to bring attention to her daughter's unsolved murder.

    In the film, Rockwell plays the part of Officer Jason Dixon, a racist police officer.

    Of his character, he previously said: "He hasn't quite grown up yet, and in the course of the movie he grows up a little bit.

    "He's forced to change through a series of events ... He has a lot of rage, a lot of anger in him and it's more about self-hatred. I think that gets directed outward towards other people."
