During the awards, which happened on Sunday, Radcliffe joked that his accent had made his transition to evil a breeze.

“This is a universally recognized accent of pure evil,” he said.

“This is a voice that would kick a puppy or not give Oliver Twist more food. I really should thank my parents most for just having the foresight, all those years ago, to have me be British, so that I could grow up sounding naturally evil enough to one day win this award,” he continued.
