Gary Oldman was so happy to have won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in “The Darkest Hour.” He now lives in America and he was thankful for that.

This is the best Oscar speech ever because he’s just happy that he won. #Oscars — neontaster 🚟 (@neontaster) March 5, 2018

But he did more than just thank people. He gave a shout out to America; something most attending seem to be ashamed of.

Twitchy notes:

How refreshing to hear a celebrity stand on the Oscars stage and say something good about this country. Maybe Hollywood isn’t ready to hear something like that:

Oldman thanks America. And gets no applause. — Just Karl (@justkarl) March 5, 2018

Finally someone on the Oscars thanks America for all it has done for them instead of slamming our country! Thank you Gary Oldman! Job well done! — Kristen Flabiano (@KristenFlabiano) March 5, 2018





Gary Oldman well deserved Oscar for his portrayal of Churchill.

He also appreciates what America has given him when it wasn’t necessary. Haven’t heard many American born film folks say the same. Well done to Gary. #Oscars — jason wormser (@worm_66) March 5, 2018
