![]() Rami Malek’s performance as Freddie Mercury is clearly the MVP of Bohemian Rhapsody, which early critics of the film still undeniably praised, even if they were bothered by other elements of the movie. ![]() The film swept a lot of the Academy’s technical awards, with more nods to its use of sound and most controversially for its Film Editing, which has been since criticized for its whiplash cuts in one particular restaurant scene. After Bohemian Rhapsody had previously not been considered as an Oscar’s favorite it's gained traction from ceremonies gave the movie a overall triumphant conclusion.īest Performance By An Actor in Leading Role - Rami MalekBest Achievement in Film Editing - John OttmanBest Achievement in Sound Editing - John Warhurst and Nina HartstoneBest Achievement in Sound Mixing - Paul Massey, Tim Cavagin, John Casaliīohemian Rhapsody won everyone of their nominations except for Best Picture, which was now infamously given to Green Book. The movie had five awards on the line that night. Bohemian Rhapsody’s award reign opened up the hostless show with a energetic kickoff performance by Queen and new frontman Adam Lambert. Then came Hollywood’s biggest night and the official cap on award season: The Oscars.

This time the movie was also recognized for “Best Sound” for all the work that was put into creating a realistic portrayal of various Queen performances, using a mixture of Freddie’s voice, Rami’s and even an expert Queen-sounding YouTube star. The 37-year-old star also won the SAG-AFTRA and British Academy. ![]() Once again, no other male actor could beat out Rami’s Freddie Mercury portrayal. Rami Malek has won the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of rock star Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Check out which one’s the movie won below:īest Leading Actor - Rami MalekBest Sound - John Casali, Tim Cavagin, Nina Hartstone, Paul Massey and John Warhurst The Queen movie then braved the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award show at Royal Albert Hall in London with a whopping seven nominations in the running including Best Costume Design, Best Make Up/Hair, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Leading Actor and Outstanding British Film of the Year.

The conversation won’t end soon, that’s for sure.(Image credit: (Fox)) Bohemian Rhapsody At the 2019 BAFTA Awards US-Egyptian star Rami Malek to present the Oscars awards ceremony. As Rock put it then, “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West.” And yep, the whole situation is awkward and will continue to be awkward because there’s no getting around how Will Smith responded to jokes with violence. That’s especially the case, no doubt, after Smith’s Best Actor speech was greeted with a standing ovation, although The Wrap notes that the mood turned to anger toward smith.Īnd it’s worth looking back, too, on how Rock’s 2016 joke (while he hosted the Oscars) poked fun at Jada boycotting the Oscars (due to their lack of diversity), during a ceremony for which Will was not nominated for Concussion. The Wrap quotes one attendee as being “sad” over how this display could have set the Academy back “fter all that we are trying to do to create change… And this Oscar’s was so diverse.” One studio executive is quoted as calling the whole mess “lame” with many expressing disbelief at how the slap and Smith’s subsequent shouted remarks to Rock prompted continued “shock” over how “crazy” the night turned out to be. “I’ll take that,” Patrick Whitesell, executive chairman of Endeavor, replied. “Twenty bucks says he doesn’t apologize,” said Rami Malek, who had been a presenter earlier in the evening, leaning on the bar. Well, at some point after the slap (and it’s not entirely clear when this happened during the evening), some Oscars attendees were discussing the subject of apologies, according to The Wrap, and there were a few interesting weigh-ins made at the nearby Dolby bar: On, and Diddy is out there insisting that it’s already bygones and “love” between the two “brothers.” This whole situation has made plenty of people revisit Rock’s 2016 jokes about Will and Jada, and Rock has declined to press charges with The Academy later tweeting that it doesn’t condone violence. After Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars, Smith won Best Actor (for King Richard) and delivered a weepy speech that contained a sort-of apology to the Academy but definitely didn’t contain an apology to Chris Rock, who had made a GI Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith (who has publicly discussed her struggles with alopecia).
