Eddie Redmayne, Best Featured Actor in a Play for Red (2010)

Before he went on to become a big Hollywood star, Redmayne played Ken in John Logan’s Red, a play about the artist Mark Rothko. Audiences were thrilled to watch this young newcomer hold his own in a two- hander opposite Alfred Molina, and his win in 2010 is a testament to his overwhelming talent. The “art matters” portion of his speech is particularly relevant.
