Gary Oldman takes the Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill

March 06 09:50 2018

“I am feeling good about it”, the actor told Page Six of Oscar night. And their wins were greeted with a shrug.

The 59-year-old actor took home the coveted Best Actor gong at the Academy Awards on Sunday (03.04.18) for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in “The Darkest Hour“, but despite being hailed for his performance, Oldman is looking to do more comedy. It comes after he won the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award, SAG, AACTA and AARP for the role.

Meanwhile, Bryant snatched the Best Animated Short Award for Dear Basketball, which he wrote in 2015 after retiring from basketball. “Look around”, she said. The awards show, hosted by Kimmel for the second year in a row, comes as the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements are taking center stage. Experts across the TV and movie industry have given their insight, with the consensus that Oldman will be the one to win. Not as much as advocates hoped. Bryant was accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old hotel worker in 2003. “So to all the Dreamers out there, we stand with you”, Nyong’o said, referring to the term used for those brought to the USA as children who are are in the middle of a political controversy over their legal status. I tried to dial 911.

The Best Original Screenplay was given to Jordan Peele for “Get Out“, while the Best Adapted Screenplay award was bagged by James Ivory for “Call Me by Your Name” that was taken from the novel written by Andre Aciman. “Both of the children were crying”. Oldman was the son of an alcoholic welder from South-East London while Miss Manville, who had spent two years in ITV soap Emmerdale, was a taxi driver’s daughter from Hove, East Sussex. He subsequently settled a civil suit with the woman.

Oldman and Seacrest have both denied the allegations against them.

It’s not only the domestic violence accusations that could shadow Oldman.

As things stand Oldman is marked as the favorite to win the award Porsha Williams.

Me Too dominated the awards season rhetoric. The movement’s leaders had made a decision to stand down for the night, in contrast to the Golden Globes, whose attendees expressed solidarity by wearing black, but Hollywood’s mood of reckoning still permeated proceedings.

Frances McDormand won the best actress Oscar on Sunday for playing an angry woman seeking justice in dark comedy “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri“.

But Affleck withdrew from his presentation duties at the end of January and announced through a representative that he would not be attending this year’s Oscars.

Goldman spent more than 200 hours in the makeup chair to become the iconic British Prime Minister, saying it this was his most physically challenging role of his 36-year career.

And that’s a tragedy, for the Academy, for the women working to change Hollywood for the better, and for movie fans everywhere.
