Idris Elba does double at awards show

Luther star Idris Elba enjoyed a winning night at the Screen Actors Guild Awards as he was honoured by his peers.

Elba, who was not nominated for any Oscars, won both of the gongs he was up for, collecting the best supporting actor award in a motion picture prize for his role as a warlord in Beasts Of No Nation and best actor in a TV movie or mini-series for his portrayal of Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in the BBC police drama.

Later presenting an award to Viola Davis, Elba said: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to diverse TV.”
