It's Sir John Hurt now. The veteran British actor was appointed a knight for his services to drama after a career lasting more than five decades. Hurt has starred in numerous comic book and sci-fi films over the years, and most recently appeared as the "War Doctor" in Doctor Who. He's been nominated for an Academy Award twice (Midnight Express and The Elephant Man), but hasn't actually won one...yet! He is currently shooting David Yates' live-action Tarzan movie. On a personal note, John Hurt has been one of my favourite actors for a very long time, so I'm delighted for him. A full list of those honoured at the link below.
