"God, it feels lovely," Redmayne recently told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King about the recent accolades. "It feels very lovely, but, you know I was luck enough to, I enjoyed acting at school. And somehow, I've been able to keep doing that thing that I love doing as a child as a profession every day. You feel like you're waiting to be found out. Every day, you feel like you're, you're sort of bragging your way through life. But, the fact that I'm being honored means that people are enjoying your work and then you get to keep doing this thing? My God, what a privilege."

Redmayne's past film credits include "Les Miserables" and "My Week With Marilyn."
