Last night in Hollywood, a dream came true for budding
actor, Eddie Redmayne as he was presented with the Best Actor award for his
portrayal as Professor Stephen Hawking in new biopic, ‘The Theory of Everything’.
The movie focuses on the life of world famous scientist, Professor Stephen Hawking
and his family as he battles motor neurone disease from the early age of
twenty-one.
The film also stars the beautiful Felicity Jones as Hawking’s
dedicated (now-ex) wife, Jane Wilde. Jones, 31, was also up for best actress
but lost out to Julianne Moore for her role in Still Alice.
Shocked and overwhelmed, Redmayne dedicated his award to the
Hawking family and promised to ‘polish him and be at his beck and call’
referring to his miniature statue. He also praised his ‘partner in crime’
Felicity, for her role in the movie, which has received outstanding reviews and
was up against Birdman and The Imitation Game for best picture.
This award will join Eddie’s Bafta which he was awarded just
last week for his performance. Touching the audience’s hearts, Redmayne, 33,
dedicated his award to those suffering from the frightful disease of ALS (Motor
neurone disease) the terminal illness which results in the muscles wasting
away, ‘This Oscar belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS.
It belongs to one exceptional family – Stephen, Jane and the Hawking children’.
And finally he bowed and thanked his new wife, Hannah Bagshawe
for her support and joked ‘we have a new fella coming to share our apartment’
before exiting the stage to a roaring applause.
Congratulations Eddie, we were
rooting for you!
