The star was nominated for the supporting actor Academy Award for his role as Jack Hock in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
His video, in which he looked back at the first bedsit he rented as a jobbing actor when he lived in Notting Hill, went viral because it was so heartfelt. And because everyone loves Richard E Grant.
Few things are more cool than seeing the genuine joy of someone who has worked so hard at something for years and years, and then they receive public recognition for that work, and they're truly grateful and happy. Congrats!
