Doctor Steve BeggDuring his speech at the awards ceremony, Steve revealed how he grew up in an Edinburgh council house “a million miles away from Hollywood”. However, he wasn’t deterred from his ambition and taught himself the basics of animation and visual effects which laid the foundations of his career.

He said: “Never give up on your end goal. I didn’t, and now I’m doing what I always dreamed of.”

Congratulations Steve! We’re all very proud of you!
