After receiving his award, Gary Oldman took his time to thank everyone who made his career and this movie possible. He said, “I owe this and so much more to so many. I’ve lived in America for the longest time and I am deeply grateful to her for the loves and the friendships I have made and the many wonderful gifts it has given me - my home, my livelihood, my family and now Oscar. The movies, such is their power, captivated a young man from south London and gave him a dream. And Douglas Urbanski, my dear, dear friend and brother, you have helped keep that dream alive. Joe Wright, thank you for this, it only took 20 years for us to work together. But it was well worth the wait."
