Oscars 2019 has ended on a good note for the movie buffs around the globe with Green Book awarded the Best movie Award. Rami Malek has won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody where he played the role of Freddie Mercury. The Best Actress award was bagged by Olivia Colman for The Favourite. The announcement for the Best Actor has left the Twitter happy. 

In his award winning speech, Rami was quoted saying, "To anyone trying to discover their voice, listen – we made a film about a gay man and immigrant who lived his life unapologetically himself. The fact that I am celebrating him and this story is proof that we are longing for stories like this." On the other hand, Olivia said, "Any little girl that's practicing her speech on the telly, you never know."

Malek defeated a few strong contenders which included Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice and Bradley Cooper as musician Jack Maine in A Star Is Born to win the Best Actor award. Bohemian Rhapsody is a biopic of British rock act Queen, with a focus on its lead singer, Mercury, who died in 1991 from Aids-related illness.

On the other hand, Colman beat Glenn Close, Lady Gaga, Yalitza Aparicio and Melissa McCarthy to win the Best Actress award.
