Queen and Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody grabbed four Oscars on Sunday night, with Rami Malek winning the best actor award for his portrayal of the band’s frontman. Bohemian Rhapsody earned the most Oscar wins at the 91st Academy Awards, including Actor in a Leading Role, Film Editing, Sound Mixing, and Sound Editing. Malek, who kissed his co-star and real-life girlfriend Lucy Boynton before taking the stage, said, “We made a film about a gay man, an immigrant who lived his life just unapologetically himself, and the fact that I’m celebrating him and this story with you tonight is proof that we’re longing for stories like this.” He also thanked his parents and family for their support. “My mom is in here somewhere — oh, I love you lady,” Malek said. “My dad didn’t get to see me do any of this, but I think he’s looking down on me right now.” Malek wrapped by thanking Boynton, who plays his lover-then-friend in the film, saying, “Lucy Boynton, you are the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented, you have captured my heart. Thank you so much.” Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
