The Golden Joysticks took place last night (Wednesday November 11) and the man behind Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s viral star Biddy Blas presented a trophy in character.
Richard Summers-Calvert took the stage at London’s Troxy for the 44th annual Golden Joysticks Awards to announce the winner of Best Lead Performer last night.
“Hi everyone, my name is Richard Summer-Calvert. I’m an actor, professional wrestler and…oh, sorry. Wrong script,” he said before addressing the audience in the same alien language that’s made Biddy Blas a viral sensation.
Speaking earlier this year, Summers-Calvert said he was “overwhelmed” by the positive response to his grumpy Star Wars: Galactic Racer character. “I woke up [on release day] and I was drowning in Biddy Blas memes.”
The award for Best Lead Performer went to Industry’s Angela Sant’Albano for her performance of Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil: Requiem. You can see the full list of winners below.
