He was up for the Leading Actor BAFTA for his role as Stan Laurel in the biopic Stan & Ollie. 

Steve Coogan, 53, may have lost out on the award, but he had his beloved daughter Clare by his side as he walked the red carpet at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday night for the 72nd British Academy Film Awards.

The actor looked dapper in a sharp tuxedo as he posed with Clare, 21, who works for the Labour party.

Clare looked glam in a low cut black gown as they posed for snaps together, ahead of Steve's big moment in the ceremony. 

Speaking to the Guardian in 2017, Steve spoke about his close bond with Clare, 21, calling it 'the most important relationship of my life.'

'At the time, I probably wasn’t ready to become a father because of the instability of my existence. I’d had lots of personal problems and went through some difficult times.'

'Clare was the one authentic part of my life that kept me sane. I see in her someone with a sense of fairness, kindness and humour, which she gets from her mother – and I hope from me.'

Steve was up against Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek, A Star Is Born's Bradley Cooper, Green Book's Viggo Mortensen and Christian Bale for Vice for the Leading Actor gong. 

Fans were delighted to see Coogan receive a nomination for his role, which has won critical acclaim.

Stan & Ollie also competed for Outstanding British Film alongside Bohemain Rhapsody, The Favourite, Beast, McQueen and You Were Never Really Here, losing out to The Favourite.

Steve and co-star John C Reilly had their reservations about playing Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show recently, Steve admitted they were 'anxious' about slipping into the shoes of such beloved performers.

He said: 'It was a bit of a risk and we were both anxious about playing such iconic characters who are admired by so many people.

'Audiences are laughing and crying at it which is good.' John added: 'We had to recreate a partnership that lasted 30 years in three weeks!'
