Raw: Eddie Redmayne backstage at the Oscars

Eddie Redmayne, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, says portraying Dr. Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything" was terrifying.

His performance in the movie was absolutely remarkable. He deserved this award..I can't wait to see more movies with this guy

[@treslostnut91]

I love his acting, no question he has skill but above all I love watching his interviews. He is almost unbearably adorable. You almost have to look away at his sheer charming, deer like cuteness.

[@cecmovie]

Eddie is an amazing actor. I so look forward to his future roles. An acting gift from the Gods! Cec

[@rebeccasalimma5634]

the moment I saw him, honestly my heart fell for him. Please go on and on..higher and higher...

[@jenniferlee3668]

Eddie is sooo adorable and when he goes the wrong way and he just scurries back :))

[@henriettaanneeles490]

He was kind of like a cute pet rabbit All shy and awkward

[@paulbanales4232]

This was a truly great performance, I'm so glad he won. I encourage everyone to see The Theory of Everything.

[@evaniaanisa774]

4:15 aw he's so adorable

[@fridak2838]

Jennifer Lawrence and Eddie Redmayne are the ones who look so adorable when they're trying to find the people who are talking. They both look like lost cute puppies

[@Jette...]

His reaction everytime someone says Oscar is so adorable!

[@Ekaterina573]

Eddie is so outstanding. His acting is absolutely alive. And of course, he deserved it. He has such a vivid facial mobility that is very useful for his career. Keep on going, Eddie!!! You make people believe your acting in movies. And I like his british accent, so charming!

[@maudx5765]

Cutest man alive ❤️ And so deserved :)

[@plumeria66]

I always liked him in the bbc dramas when he was really young....he stood out even then in minor roles. I had hoped he would strike it big and become better known. Glad he never gave up and now lookie.

[@laurenw94]

where can i buy an eddie redmayne?

[@TheMeganNL]

I always love it when they look so lost in an interview.

[@sofias9238]

The way he says "Hey" at 3:15 has me dying, he's just too cute

[@mahourarbabian]

A Clorox can and did the lady say “Hi love” in response?!!

[@sofias9238]

@@mahourarbabian I think so 😭

[@weasley2o13]

1:59 was the moment I've been waiting for ever since they called out his name. That sigh of, letting it out, letting Stephen go a little bit, even though he had stopped working for 10 months after that but, he had a little, private, beautiful moment of just BEING. As Eddie, with all the nerves and the corks and the akwardness which is the most touching thing about him, and the stars in his eyes. Eddie's stars. Not anyone else's. And that was a tiny magic so, I'm very glad I got to share it with him in a way.

[@organicskating]

Thanks so much for putting this on YT for people who don't have TV. Glad he won!

[@sachitwagle4485]

[@doratheexplorer_kr]

Never thought I could relate this much to a comment I agree 100%

[@3872864]

I'm having a mini panic attack when I just realized he's just like what I do when someone asks me a question... smiling slightly but not too goofy that's me omg I love him so much he's my favourite human being on Earth WE MUST PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS

[@trumancapote9097]

LOVE Eddie Redmaune and have been a fan for over a decade now. His performance in The Theory of Everything was amazing. I always felt it was hardest for actors to play handicapped people or drunkards more than any other roles and he was fantastic. Also thought he deserved to win again for The Danish Girl. For a straight man to be able to play a transvestite with such tenderness and empathy moved me deeply. Magnificent performance. Eddie is one of the BEST actors under 40 working today.

[@user-ui8di1tc2x]

god his humbleness really amazes me...how nice of him to be soooo gentle and modest...stole my heart again

[@vivigovea7242]

He's so charismatic 😍

[@Bellaripper666]

He so deserved it .. I saw a few movies from Eddie Include The Theory of everything and WOW what a great actor and what a great Performance ! So talented and amazing .... Well ... He's my new favourite actor haha. So happy for him... Congratulations from Quebec Canada =] x

[@MIOLAZARUS]

He is so sweet. such a sweet human being.

[@brooke6996]

HES SUPER ADORABLE OMG. I LOVE HIM.

[@nyanspyc3469]

he is so beautiful.

[@alwaysspecial9611]

YOU WERE GREAT IN THEORY OF EVERYTHING! You portrayed Steven very well. I know someone who has ALS, we need to stand up and help. Life is beautiful, and the best feeling is helping others.

[@channabarca7359]

*Stephen

[@Ripley-Eve]

[@logan5girl405]

His heart must be going like a hummingbird most of the time

[@kaika201]

His Gif sent me here. Lol. 😂

[@alkogoncharov]

как можно быть таким обаятельным, очаровательным и милым?)) его улыбка это что-то!

[@notAshildr]

The more I research Eddie Redayne's career (which I started after first heaing about him in fantastic beasts) the more I think that being a part of the "Potterverse" (that's not right, is it, I'll still call it Potterverse) will prevent him from having the amazing career he could have had. He's an amazing actor, but after this he will be remembered as Newt Scamander and getting other roles suitable for his brilliant acting will be incredibly hard. (The exact reson why Benedict Cumberbatch never wanted to be on Doctor Who) Which makes me feel kinda sorry for him.

[@ThursdayAtMidnight]

I don't think that's necessarily true. I already considered him a huge deal way before Fantastic Beasts. He become more "mainstream," so to speak, when he appeared in Les Mis, got this Oscar for The Theory of Everything, had a stunning and widely appreciated performance in The Danish Girl... maybe his career would be compromised if FBAWTFT was his first big break, but that really isn't the case. I have been in awe of him since The Pillars of the Earth in 2010, and even then it was clear that he is someone special. The intensity and dedication that he gives his work shines through in every role he portrays, and his versatility will carry him to many other films.

[@TojoursPur]

he has a tony, an oscar and a hit franchise. And he's not even 40 yet. If that's not an amazing career, then what is?

[@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai]

Me (No, not Ashildr, I had the name before Doctor Who, and I'm not changing it!) The Potterverse only added to Eddie's amazing acting repertoire because he was already known and successful with this Oscar before Fantastic Beasts even existed. It's just that Harry Potter fans get to know him via Fantastic Beasts, not the other way around.

[@futurey0xi853]

5:15 ahahahaa♥

[@janamartens9022]

I am in Love

[@ayselgafarova2359]

[@cpgm100]

i dont think he understands a word coming out of his mouth, he's just so on the clouds

[@doratheexplorer_kr]

I want to carry him in my pocket😆 he's too precious for this world just look at 5:19
