  • 6 years ago
This isn’t surprising but it is still such a great result as 'Darkest Hour' actor Gary Oldman has picked up the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.

The 59-year-old actor's powerful turn as Winston Churchill in 'Darkest Hour' earned him the Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role statuette and he appeared emotional as he took to the stage to accept the accolade.

The now Academy Award Winning star ended his speech by thanking his 99-year-old mother and telling her to get ready for a celebration.

Gary - who was previously nominated for the award for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' in 2012 - beat out the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Daniel Day-Lewis.
