Seems that all that learning about Che Guevara did Benicio Del Toro good, because he won the best actor award at Cannes for his role as Che Guevara in the Steven Soderbergh’s film on the revolutionary.

“I’d like to dedicate this to the man himself – Che Guevara,” said Del Toro, after accepting his second big award under the US director’s helmsmanship.
“I wouldn’t be here without Che Guevera.
“Through all the awards the movie gets, you’ll have to pay your respects to the man.”
