[@NikkiFowler]

Was a pleasure to present the award to him.

[@mariefortunato4737]

❤ EXCELLENT ACTOR WHO DESERVED THIS AWARD!!

[@twinEAH]

Love Brendan. He just seems so sincere and authentic. Congratulations. I am also so glad to see Tom Cruise nominated. I feel he deserved an Oscar nomination too.

[@sakhraharoon467]

He's collecting them all! 🎉

[@bellabrieeee]

Soooo happy for Brendan. This is well deserved and his comeback was stunning. He's looking better than ever!! 💖

[@eliezermacalalag1091]

At long last!

[@vrinda793]

he legit thanked his girlfriend as well as his ex-wife, dude really has a whale heart

[@jakeblake7398]

Ex wife

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

Vrinda Well, he owed Afton a thank you and the beard is on the payroll.

[@vrinda793]

@@jakeblake7398 yeah so sorry, totally forgot to put ex there

[@JaxxStarr81]

I know right? He shouldn’t thank his ex wife for anything after the way she treated him. But the fact he thanks her at all, shows the kind of person he is. ♥️

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

@@JaxxStarr81 You obviously have no idea the kind of person HE is or how he treated her. You all act like you were in the courtroom and heard the testimony. If you had been, you would know why she deserved the money after HE divorced her for not wanting to live a lie.

[@dannyyong75]

After so many years being forgotten by Hollywood, he finally received the recognition he deserved.

[@jessicahanson7554]

His performance in the whale, was amazing. It was haunting. I feel like I held my breathe through the movie. So well deserved.

[@harrietthomas4032]

Was not drawn to watch it, but now I am :)

[@Lepidopterous.]

*“I feel like I held my breath through the movie.”* Incredibly apt description. Completely agree. It was a captivating experience.

[@baronvonlichtenstein]

One of the most powerful performances ever.

[@amelielemelin9766]

What an authentic real deserving man. I say a man and not an actor because, at the end of the day, he's a human being just like us. He so deserved this recognition after so many years out of the spotlight and truly hope he wins the Oscar for best actor in a leading role. To me, he's already the winner no matter the outcome.

[@kellifranklin9872]

Honestly I would be equally delighted if either Brenden or Austin won. They both gave their all in those performances. Congrats Brenden! You deserve this and more!

[@Lightdion]

I know right? I wish both could win!

[@vrinda793]

i really wish brendan wins the oscar, i havent watched elvis and idk i have this thing where i am not a fan of austin, never saw anything this guy is in or anything, no disrespect towards him, heck i didnt even watch any brendan movie, but i just wish he wins, the whale was just beautiful

[@markperez9613]

There have been Oscar wins ending in a tie before

[@akiracastillo]

Me, too. AT THE OSCARS SHOULD BE A TIE.

[@JustARandomLOTRFan]

what a humble guy...!

[@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU]

He’s already a winner. He’s a beautiful person.

[@celticdw1983]

[@TheHManShow]

Brendan went through hell during his career and he deserves all the success he’s getting now

[@rhianhegarty3383]

Just when Austin in Elvis was a sure thing... along came Brendan in the Whale. Odds are on him for the Oscar this year.

[@baronvonlichtenstein]

He earned it with that performance in Whale. Genuine soul.

[@46foryounger]

Love what he said so true and authentic.

[@el.bigs.28]

Love you Brendan!!! I wanna see you win it all 🎉 fingers crossed for tonight ❤

[@mm12345777]

[@cindy3273]

His aparience looks better in each presentation, I think that he is changing ... thats good!

[@lazalaffs]

Bravo! In the acting vs mimicry contest, acting has won!

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

linda Harrington Actually, Brendan left his wife and child(ren) for a guy in 2007, so there wasn't much acting involved.

[@faylestock4086]

Si happy for him!🎉❤

[@jenniferboht7240]

[@bellabrieeee]

Austin Butler: “Imma show what the real Elvis is like tonight!” Brendan Fraser: Hold my Doritos Sandwich 🥪

[@huyphantan9877]

In the world of Hollywood, the competition for Best Actor this year was nothing short of intense. The race was heightened by the presence of three talented frontrunners: Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, and Brendan Fraser. Austin Butler's performance in the movie, where he portrayed the iconic music legend Elvis Presley, was truly remarkable. He managed to showcase his acting, dancing, and singing skills beautifully. However, his portrayal was missing the emotional depth that comes from within the character. In comparison to Rami Malek, who portrayed Freddie Mercury in a similar fashion, Rami's success came from his ability to embody the character's innermost feelings and convey them outwardly. Unfortunately, Austin's portrayal was limited to mere imitation of the Elvis persona. Colin Farrell, on the other hand, delivered an exceptional performance in The Banshees of Inisherin, where he portrayed a man with a simple outlook on life. Although he played the character well, the judges felt that his role lacked the necessary depth required for a breakthrough performance. Finally, Brendan Fraser's portrayal of a man weighing 278 kg in the movie, The Whale, was truly emotional. He captivated the audience with his character's endocentric story, leading them into his world and eliciting tears from their eyes. His performance was so worthy that the award was rightfully his.

Congrats Brendan - you have always been a great actor - cruise just keeps playing a toxically masculine cliche

[@konigeurichderwestgoten4460]

Women are bigger perverts.

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

Engelhafen Brendan couldn't play a masculine anything if he had daily testosterone injections.

[@harrydubois6619]

You should cut the soy out of your diet
