Joaquin Phoenix

With a career as varied and celebrated as Jaoquin Phoenix’s, it is impossible to summarise in just a few lines. Phoenix earned his first Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Commodus in the 2000 epic Gladiator. He earned two further Oscar nods for his roles as Johnny Cash in Walk The Line (2005) and Freddie Quell in The Master (2012) but it was for his role in Lynne Ramsay’s film You Were Never Really Here that he earned his first BIFA nod for Best Actor in 2018.
