In The Imitation Game, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual acts which the country deemed illegal.
Last year, Cumberbatch was one of the most-nominated individuals at the 2013 Cosmique Movie Awards, winning Best Male Villain and sharing the Sexiest Cast ensemble award for Star Trek Into Darkness, as well as being nominated individually for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and sharing the ensemble nomination for August: Osage County.
