HAWKING
January 10, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Discovery, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Eddie Redmayne is getting lots of attention, and a likely Oscar nomination, for starring as Stephen Hawking in the 2014 biographical drama, The Theory of Everything. Ten years before that, however, another dashing young man starred as Hawking in a biographical movie also – this one made for BBC-TV in 2004, starring a then-little-known actor named Benedict Cumberbatch. And this year, the man who plays TV’s Sherlock is getting raves, and his own share of Oscar-nomination buzz, for playing another genius on screen: This time in 2014’s The Imitation Game.
