At long last, Gary Oldman has won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in “The Darkest Hour.” And he couldn’t’ve been happier:
This is the best Oscar speech ever because he’s just happy that he won. #Oscars

But what made his speech especially poignant and unique was this:

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.

Their silence is says it all.
That’s horrible :(

But for a lot of people, it’s a welcome change.

Gary Oldman thanked America first and then Winston Churchill — most gracious #Oscars speech in years.

Finally someone on the Oscars thanks America for all it has done for them instead of slamming our country! Thank…
