Richard E. Grant Wins Best Supporting Male at Spirit Awards 2019!

Richard E. Grant proudly shows off his award in the press room at the 2019 Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday afternoon (February 23) in Santa Monica, Calif.

The 61-year-old actor won the award for Best Supporting Male for his work in the movie Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Richard is also up for an Academy Award for his work in the movie!

He dedicated the award to Chariots of Fire‘s Ian Charleston, who inspired his work in the movie. Richard tearfully said, “He died of AIDS at the age of 40 in 1990. This movie more than anything is an homage to that generation of men that were wiped out by that disease.”
