Olivier theatre awards just finished on telly just now, and the most awarded theatre production included some bloke called Benedict Cumberbatch in it. Supporting article here www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/news/interviews/view/item111109/Benedict-Cumberbatch/ with pictures and some serious stuff mixed in the fluff, about why BC likes driving a bike in London central to work. His insurance premiums must be rather over the odds... He realises nicely that he's exploiting his type and background for achieving fame. Or he's just a bit posh and not able to step outside of that due to lack of other experiences.
I sincerely have a theory that an award presentation comes either at the end of a career ( Oh look, he's still alive) or at the lead in to an attempt to raise awareness for nominations next year(Oh him at that thing). It is a toss of the coin as to whether BC will be one of those good actors who's really excellent and gets lifetime achievement awards to give the other actors a bit of a chance in the meantime, or one of those good actors who gets other awards and never turns down any role, like Ewan McGregor and you see him everywhere and nowhere doing quality work like Meryl Streep that everyone hates...

Hmm, the Sherlock curse.
