The British actor – a thoroughly deserving winner for his superb turn in I Swear – had already won the EE rising star award at the ceremony before his name was announced as the winner in the leading actor category by US actress Kerry Washington.
And a tearful Aramayo appeared more taken aback by anyone that he had beaten the star-studded competition to the award.
Meanwhile, the passionate reaction from his father, whom Aramayo had previously thanked during his first acceptance speech of the night, was one of the moments of the night, as he celebrated wildly in the audience.
John Davidson, the Tourettes activist whom Aramayo played in I Swear, was also in the audience and was visibly moved and delighted by the win.
"He gave an amazing talk on longevity as an actor," he explained. "It had a great impact on everyone in that room, and so to be in this category with you tonight is incredible. Thank yo,u Ethan!"
Meanwhile, it was One Battle After Another which enjoyed the best night overall, winning six awards, including best film and both best adapted screenplay and best director for Paul Thomas Anderson.
