Michael Fassbender wins Best British Actor of the Year Michael Fassbender was thrilled to pick up Best British Actor of the Year at the 32nd London Film Critics" Circle Awards. Michael won the award based on his stunning performances in A Dangerous Method and Shame. The actor could not decide which film he was most proud of and said both movies were just as rewarding. Shame is a film which explores the disintegrating life of a sex addict while A Dangerous Method is a historical fiction about the early days of psychoanalysis. Fassbender also reportedly admitted he was going to take his mother as his date to the Oscars this year.
