Andrew is the Best Actor for Evening Standard Awards!

Congratulations to Andrew Garfield for winning the Best Actor at Evening Standard Awards! He surprisingly beat the most favorited contender Colin Firth, who is currently on the run for Best Actor in the upcoming Academy Awards. However Andrew didn't make it to the ceremonial event since he's still filming for "Spider-Man", but he recorded an acceptance speech and was displayed at the event.

Garfield beat both Firth's Oscar-tipped performance in The King's Speech and Riz Ahmed for his role in suicide bomber satire Four Lions.

In The Social Network the 27-year-old plays Facebook's co-creator Eduardo Saverin, while in Never Let Me Go he is the object of both Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley's affections.

Accepting his award in a filmed message, he said: "I really, really appreciate it and intend to let this spur me and provide more fuel for my fire."

The actor is playing Spider-Man in a new film that focuses on the formative years of the comic book superhero, set for release in 2012.
