Gary Oldman wins Leading Actor BAFTA - The British Academy Film Awards: 2018 - BBC

[@Jared_Wignall]

Well deserved. Next is the Oscars. I feel Gary will finally win an Academy Award. He deserved it for this film and its long overdue for him.

[@dianaapplehead8815]

Jared Wignall yes... Step by step he will... Still asking why hes taking that long to win an oscar... He deserves one

[@EvanBakerian]

Jared Wignall I strongly agree with you! He’s a great actor who really gets into his characters! I can’t believe this is only his 2nd Oscar nomination!

[@poqjaq]

He won the oscar finally.

[@carolinaferreira9328]

He won the Oscar!!!

[@Abbaschand]

Well, he's done his waiting... 12 years of it... in Azkaban.

[@charliedavidarnott1537]

Especially seeing as he gave the best screen performance of all time in Dracula.

[@geatorella]

that's right - we've all been waiting ever since Sid & Nancy

[@samantha19884]

I still think his performance in The Professional is unmatchable

[@franklesher4459]

I finally got the chance to see "Darkest Hour" a few weeks ago and I have to said that Gary Oldman delivered an electrifying and magnetic performance full of a realistic challenge. He really deserves to win the Oscar for best actor. My respects.

[@aussiedonaldtrump]

He will win the Oscar in 2 weeks! His performance was incredible!

[@iigogi6244]

yep

[@hemabalaji4533]

yes dude i agree with you

[@carolinaferreira9328]

He did!!

[@mr.calderon7062]

I love you Gary you're the best ever

[@wesammuhammad5353]

Golden globe SAG critic choice award BAFTA And The Oscar on the way

[@jackmahanes4591]

Damn right! I'm looking forward to Gary winning it in just two weeks!

[@danielastefan7274]

He is so emotional. Great actor. Very happy for him. :)

[@rigsby1454]

Oldman has been robbed for about 30 years so don't feel too bad for Timothee

[@neilrussell6714]

Timothee was a good contender but his performance doesn’t hold a candle to what Gary Oldman did. Tim will have his day if he keeps the good work up. Gary’s waited his whole life

[@nathalia_f]

Well deserved, I've been waiting for this moment for years. My favorite actor of all time, love Gary Oldman.

[@avg5931]

Nathalia F. me too.

[@charliedavidarnott1537]

Gary Oldman is by far the best screen actor of all time in my opinion. He should of won all of these awards and an oscar for Dracula, which is probably the best screen performance I've ever seen.

[@charliedavidarnott1537]

Can we appreciate David Tennant in Doctor Who as well? He reminds me of a bit of Gary actually, the way he can switch the character on and off instantly. Another extraordinary actor!

[@peterneate607]

One of my favourite actors, much deserved award.

[@DansFilmFiles]

They should have given him a standing ovation. One of the greatest actors living today.

[@SPINNEYCLUB1]

YESSS! So well deserved for one of Britain's finest! Beautiful speech in which you could tell just how much it meant to him. Anyone else tear up when his voice started to wobble near the end??

[@theoldbuilding4818]

Well deserved not only for this brilliant performance but all the previous ones. One of the all time greatest.

[@airplainchild]

Wait, why am I crying?

[@jackmahanes4591]

Because it's amazing to watch a great actor get a well deserved award for a fantastic performance!

[@archraskal]

airplainchild To get an answer to that one book a session with a shrink.

[@hls521]

airplainchild it's called pride. ❤

[@mightymouse5029]

airplainchild hahahahaha same 😂😂

[@samantha19884]

well...Oldman is being robbed from awards for 30 years or something. Thats why i got teary eyes

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

Finally. He deserved this award.

[@dr.anandambandyopadhyay5901]

Brain= gary Heart= timmy

[@dr.anandambandyopadhyay5901]

Jonathan Eilbeck absolutely...and thats why phantom thread is out of the topic

[@Amalthea11]

Haha, agreed. Still...loved Timmy's reaction, it was so pure. I am sure he was extremely happy for Gary. Same goes for other guys who were nominated. Timmy's time will come...and I cannot wait :) He's won our hearts long time ago anyway.

[@hewyihherng]

gotta love timmy's lovemaking scenes.... with a peach

[@sisisisi7141]

Same...

[@raziel13epsilon]

What a great actor. An award well deserved !!

[@tomtcf76]

Should have won the BAFTA years ago for Leon. 'EVEERRRRYOOONE!!!!' One of the best villain performances ever.

[@jamalia0306]

Traveller T I absolutely agree with you..

[@lilchaos4792]

Scene makes me LOL so hard. Love his randomness

[@supertramp9333]

great actor well deserved gary

[@honeybeebadger]

Great speech

[@josephkitchens1644]

very well deserved, should get Oscar also

[@steveoshow4832]

All actors of substance and talent have a role in a lifetime that comes their way, the knack is recognising that moment and that moment indeed came for Gary Oldman's blazing and honest portrayal of Churchill. Probably one of the most definitive performances by a British actor in many many years and Gary Oldman's finest hour.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I think Gary has done one of his best roles as actor and also he deserves win the Oscar, l hope so

[@dragontypeliv]

I was so worried he wouldn't win because whenever Daniel Day Lewis is nominated he always wins. These awards for Darkest Hour are well overdue for him, he is an extraordinary actor and criminally underrated.

[@LittleB2007]

DDL won BAFTA 4 times out of 7 nominations. As for the Oscars, it's 3/6. He is not so unbeatable actually. Not taking anything away from Oldman's win, of course. He was the obvious winner this year IMO

[@scorsese1]

Great actor.

[@juderack3665]

Finally he starts to get the recognition he deservez

[@hls521]

Gary can burst into tears with just one more one in that speech😢😢❤❤

[@nihilblack4625]

❤Love you ,Mr.Oldman!!!!

[@warrenguy76]

Timothy Chalamet is so cute when he laughs at Salma’s joke 😂. What an impressive group of nominees.

[@LittleB2007]

I have always wanted Gary to be recognized with all the acting awards in the world but I never thought he'd finally win them playing Mr. Churchill. XD

[@juliewillard1367]

Brilliant actor...you finally did it Gazza!

[@csjcsj2906]

In terms of acting categories, Gary Oldman's first BAFTA. (Won twice before for Best British Film and Best Original Screenplay)

[@khaled200966]

Well deserved genius

[@terminater996]

nice to see gary get this award he deserves it , Churchill he played i think he did a fantastic job and the darkest hour was a good film very accurate to how it was, apart from the metro scene.

[@Leon-Hardt]

I love british accent, i'm latinamerican. Oldman nevah surrendah!

[@beneferet1108]

you beautiful man!!😘

[@mkb4321]

Wow! How distinguished Gary looks, I'm glad to hear he's married w/ 3 kids. Congrats Gary.

[@hyelimione]

Salma is lovely~

[@mikemolcule234]

Finally Gary

[@MarcosCorderoBALDO]

Next Stop : March 3,Los Angeles .....The Oscar will be waiting for Gary Oldman to finally get his hands on the elusive statuette! He mostly deserve it!

[@j2thejoseph]

Tiptoes. The role of a lifetime

[@KC230174]

He held the line for honour, for integrity, and for freedom ... for his country, and the WORLD

[@martind586]

3-4-2018 ( 1 minute ago ) Well past Due - Gary wins OSCAR! - YAAAAAAA!

[@tach4868]

I adore Gary Oldman and I understand that this is his year...but I was not moved by his performance. Yes, it was a good impersonation but it lacked the life, soul and heartbreaking quality of Timothee's performance. Only three times in the last 25 years I have felt like I was seeing something really special and extraordinary - a stroke of genius in a young actor: River Phoenix in My own Private Idaho, Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain/The Dark Knight and Timothee Chalamet in Call me by your name. We lost River and Heath too young - talented, precious souls who were too good for this world. We need to cherish Timothee as he is truly one of a kind!

[@tach4868]

The Barbon, it seems to be a safe bet in the movie industry to honour those who imitate someone. This happens because they can objectively compare the actor to the original and tick some mimicry boxes (Churchill, The Queen, Truman Capote, Aileen Wuornos, Harvey Milk, Idi Amin, Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, etc.) I understand why the industry values these and I can see their appeal but what Timothee did was something entirely different, heartfelt, deeply emotional and therefore more special. He had a blank canvas and filled it with his own colours, I admire that!

[@tach4868]

Yes, precisely. The narrow parameters are seen by some as be-all and end-all of artistic proficiency. Oldman works brilliantly from text - he has the range, the imagination, the vigour...Oldman is worthy of all praise coming his way but NOT for this role. I personally liked him way more in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Prick Up Your Ears and even Bram Stoker's Dracula. Timothee simply got in the way of some "divine" justice - a long overdue recognition for Oldman. But the best role this year was definitely Timothee's. And I hope you are right about his bright future because he really IS something else.

[@tach4868]

I second that. Oldman will win the Oscar. But it will not stop me rooting for Chalamet. The highly acclaimed performances are by no means the best ones. They are usually the self-indulgent, artificial, show-off, look-at-me-wearing-prosthetics roles. They show a form of superiority and have an air of untouchableness about them. To me art happens to be a more subjective, intimate, delicate and natural experience.

[@tach4868]

I am convinced he will choose his roles wisely. He is too interesting, mature and intelligent to be mainstream and conventional.

[@embee3178]

those are three films about gay relationships - which basically suggests you are majorly biased, mate

[@dr.debajyotibose2928]

The BRITS giving an award to Churchill, how so not expected. *wink wink Jokes apart, Oldman did a great job with the role.

[@AshaNimo1]

No shit. It wouldn't be the YANKS doing it, would they? and why put Brits in capitals? XD

[@savagetaestheticknight221]

Lit Gary Oldman is awesome.

[@louieadam251]

Timothee Chalamet in Call Me by Your Name , gave a brilliant performance in the movie. Very Natural and into the character of Elio. If you see the train station scene, and calling and going home with his mom crying,, this is very moving scene. piano scene, dancing scene, and living room scene, those scenes make him a winner.

[@LittleB2007]

The fact you loved Chalamet in CMBYN doesn't mean his acting was any better than the winner. Playing an overplayed historic figure and pulling it off with a groundbreaking fresh interpretation is way harder than playing a new fictional character. Oldman deserves all the accolades he's received

[@17pinksoda]

Legend! 👊 wished he saw Lily James her co star gave a standing ovation at the back ❤ Love Lily's performance in this movie wished she was nominated for Supporting Actress.

[@Verbal_Kint416]

Give the man a fucking Oscar already, for fucks sake!!!

I am not crying -_-

[@FrancoisDressler]

South London in the house!

[@facuuaf]

He really is a wonderful actor, but I feel so sad for Timothée Chalamet. He was amazing this year, not only on the movie he was nominated for, but also on Lady Bird. They should have at least given him the Rising Star award

[@Gabebigdog]

Facu AF who? Never heard of him.

[@sweettea4299]

Gabebigdog You will tho very soon.

[@DonVal86]

Rising star awards are for British actors only.

No, Timothée was nominated for this one as well...

Gary is wearing the same glasses he wore for the Oscars when he was nomianted back in 2012. He's nominated for the Oscars this 2018. Coincidence? 😂

[@nanasakvarelidze9148]

bad timing. I hope Oscars will change someday and truly deserving actors will get the award. Gary Oldman should've had at least 3 Oscars by now and this year Timothee should have won all the awards. He was truly brilliant.

I know it's Bafta, I'm just predicting the Oscars

[@thepiperreport8198]

By my count Gary Oldman has been nominated for 48 awards for best actor in Darkest Hour and he has won 26 of them so far including: Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA. All he needs is the Oscars and he will take the big three (GG, SAG, and Oscars!) It's all him this year ^_^ But 26 out of 48 so far is insane

[@nagygreta5295]

I like how in all Award shows that year, these 4/5 males are always the same people, like; Timothée, Daniel K., Daniel D., Gary Oldman...and in every award show Gary won..like poor others never even had a chance💀
