Oldman's remarkable transformation into Winston Churchill has paid off!

March 05, 2018 10:01

The Best Actor category looked a fairly predictable one this year. Gary Oldman everyone thought. And Gary Oldman it is.

Previously nominated for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, this is Gary Oldman's first Oscar. The actor, often called a chameleon, for his gift to transform into different characters, is virtually unrecognisable under layers of prothetic make-up to resemble former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Playing Churchill has made him a PRO at speeches, he thanks US for the friendships and loves, his life, his family, and the Oscar it's given him. Of course, he doesn't forget to share his admiration for the man he played on screen --UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill or his 99-year-old mother watching this on their television set at home.
