All Best Actor Oscar Winners in Academy Award History🔥👑🖤❤️🎥
Gary Oldman (2017)
“Darkest Hour”
Another British WWII drama? Another depiction of Winston Churchill? Over the years, there have been a flood of both, but “Darkest Hour” seemed smart and fresh, thanks in large part to Gary Oldman. The actor has elevated many movies over the decades, but this was only his second Oscar nomination. And ever since the film first screened at the Telluride and Toronto festivals in September 2017, Oldman was correctly predicted to be the Oscar front-runner.
Rami Malek (2018)
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
Three of 2018’s four acting winners depicted real-life characters, and Rami Malek was playing easily the most well known: Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a crowd-pleaser, earning $869 million and winning four Oscars; while critics were split on the film, everybody was rhapsodic about Malek’s work.
Joaquin Phoenix (2019)
“Joker,” directed by Todd Phillips, is an origin story about how the Batman villain came to be. The film could only be described as a comic-book movie in the broadest sense, as director and co-writer Phillips made it a tale of people who suffer from mental illness and feel alienated. Though expectations were low before it caused a sensation at the Venice Film Festival, it earned more than $1 billion at the box office and universal praise for star Joaquin Phoenix, who made Joker/Arthur Fleck into a character who was sympathetic, yet scary.
Anthony Hopkins
“The Father”
When Sony Pictures Classics’ “The Father” debuted at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, critics predicted Anthony Hopkins would win the Oscar. During the next 15 months, the competition became more intense and he seemed a probable also-ran to the late Chadwick Boseman. But Hopkins’ depiction of dementia proved unforgettable, giving him a second best actor win after 1991’s “The Silence of the Lambs,” and making him the oldest acting winner at age 83. The film marked Florian Zeller’s directing debut, an adaptation of his own play.
Brendan Fraser
“The Whale”
Though critics were divided on Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” Oscar voters agreed that Brendan Fraser’s performance as a 600 lb. English teacher was a standout
Cillian Murphy
“Oppenheimer”
Cillian Murphy won best actor at the 2024 Oscars for his lead role as the atomic scientist in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic, which won seven Oscars including best director and best picture.
