Jim has won a variety of awards for his acting, such as the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2001’s Iris, and the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor in 2006’s Longford.
As previously reported on The Lincolnite, Jim also received an honorary doctorate from Bishop Grosseteste University on June 21.
