The correct answer is: A. Garry Oldman.
Garry Oldman won the Best Actor award in the 90th Academy Awards for his performance as Winston Churchill in the film Darkest Hour. He was nominated alongside Timothée Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name), Daniel Day-Lewis (Phantom Thread), Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), and Denzel Washington (Roman J. Israel, Esq.).
Oldman is a British actor who has appeared in over 100 films and television shows. He is known for his versatility and range, and has won numerous awards for his work, including two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a BAFTA Award.
In Darkest Hour, Oldman portrays Winston Churchill during the early days of World War II. The film follows Churchill as he becomes Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and faces the difficult decision of whether or not to declare war on Germany. Oldman’s performance was praised by critics, who called it one of the best of his career.
The other nominees for Best Actor in 2018 were:
- Timothée Chalamet for Call Me by Your Name
- Daniel Day-Lewis for Phantom Thread
- Daniel Kaluuya for Get Out
- Denzel Washington for Roman J. Israel, Esq.
Call Me by Your Name is a coming-of-age film about a young man who falls in love with an older man. Phantom Thread is a period drama about a fashion designer and his muse. Get Out is a horror film about a young black man who visits his white girlfriend’s family for the weekend. Roman J. Israel, Esq. is a legal drama about a civil rights lawyer who takes on a case that could change the course of his career.
All four of these films were critically acclaimed, and their actors were nominated for numerous awards. However, it was Oldman who ultimately won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Darkest Hour.
