The 2011 Whatsonstage.com Awards were held on Sunday 20 February at the Prince of Wales Theatre. This video is the full acceptance speeches from Act II of the concert. Some of our favourite moments include: Meera Syal's admission that she wasn't the obvious choice to play a Liverpudlian housewife, Craig Revel Horwood's dissing of host Christopher Biggins' jacket, Giles Terera pretending to be Nick Hytner, Zoe Wanamaker pronouncing everyone in the world "extremely attractive", David Suchet's question-mark voice, Nigel Lindsay's Internet cafe loneliness, Joseph Millson's lectern jig, Ramin Karimloo and Sheridan Smith's "moment", Tamsin Greig's refusal to leave the stage in the longest (and funniest) speech of the night, Yes, Prime Minister's Emily Joyce (on behalf of the authors) thanking voters for disregarding Michael Coveney's review of the show, and Cameron Mackintosh just for being there and being Cameron Mackintosh...
