i’m going to make a post about “benedict being robbed”:
i don’t believe he was.
i think benedict cumberbatch is a phenomenal actor and i love him with all my heart, but dominic’s performance in the appropriate adult was incredible. his portrayal of fred west was so powerful and chilling, it was as if he had completely transformed himself into that monster.
the thing about sherlock holmes is that he is a fictional character, and he is interpreted differently to everyone, as most book characters are. benedict and moffat’s interpretation of holmes is, i believe, very different to sir conan doyle’s, and it is definitely different to guy ritchie and robert downey jnr’s. you can say that they are similiar because, of course, they are all contributing to the same character and naturally, some elements about holmes will remain the same within any interpretation.
fred west, however, was a real person. he was a serial killer with sick desires. his characteristics cannot be created by the actor to fit how they see the character; the actor has to modify himself to settle into the role of this monster.
that is why i believe dominic west thoroughly deserves the award. he did a fantastic job becoming fred west.
i adore benedict. everyone thinks he deserved the bafta, even dominic said so! but he didn’t win it, and i’m just glad it went to someone with talent, to someone who deserves it as much as he does.

picnik closed so i’m having a play about on picmonkey. |8< day was tiring. sitting in bed watching embarrassing bodies on 4od. wild times.

first ever attempt at jim moriarty. i’m pretty pleased with this!
