His life can be a biopic now. His rise, fall and resurgence culminating to this is the stuff of a Hollywood fiction. I'm really happy for him, he actually did it
They should make a biopic about both Frazer and Ke Quan in the same movie. Show them making Encino Man together while they’re at the top, then show their downfalls and their redemption on the night of the Oscars
yea it would make a great country song too, got touched "in the taint" by a hollywood exec, lost my job, my wife left me, went into depression for 20 years my truck broke down and my dog died

@@rrregan Me too - havent seen woke Oscars in 10 years, but this year - just to see him win - i swallowed and sat there 2+ hours. I am soooooo happy for this man !!!!!!!!!!!!
A big big big moment in the history of Oscars...Loss of mother at a critical phase of life, a son with autism, fall of a successful career, painful divorce, health issues, allegations and assaults...He lost everything... 💔 But look at him, he came back to reclaim what he truly deserves...Such a happy day today is ❤️
That statuette now erases all of those common every day things that happen to everyone at some point? Interesting. I'm not surprised so many fell for that sob story.
They have lifetime achievement awards for that and far better actors and much more deserving people had to wait until their 80's and 90's to receive them.
Brendan you deserved this award. I think you should have won several awards along the way. You are not only an incredible actor, you are also truly a wonderful human!!
After everything this man went through he deserves it all. Absolute legend. Absolute gem of a human being. You feel every emotion he feels when he poured his heart out In his acceptance speech. For us 90s kids, this man gave us movies that made our childhood. So happy for Brendan. The Brenaissance is complete
I'm so freaking happy for him! I just watched With Honors the other day. It's so heartwarming seeing him being humble and really enjoying his success at this time if his life! He's done it all. I can't wait to see the doors open up for him and see what characters he plays next!!!! 👏
Wow it must be a surreal experience for him. He truly lived a biopic life. He went from being a breakout action film star in The Mummy to a struggling actor taking any part her could get to getting no parts at all. The road back was long, and he suffered so much. No one deserved this victory more than Brandon. He truly appreciates it and always will. This is more than an award. This is salvation.
I'm still thinking his best performance was in Gods & Monsters. He has been always a fine actor. Very Happy for him. But Colin Farrell was very good this year. Both were great. But Brendan needed the most.
So glad Brendan got it...It was long overdue. We all grew up watching some of his classic movies and he went through so much. He literally has come back like the Phoenix bird!😊
Love your comment. That is exactly how i feel. It makes me think that if we just keep plugging away and putting one foot in front of the other walking towards the light, our dreams can come true.
He’s a wonderful actor. He can do and has done so many genres. Always underrated until now, finally being seen. Phenomenal moment to see him shine. Truly happy for him and can’t wait to see what he does next!
Iam so happy I almost cried a little Brendan fraser is one of my all time favorites actors I have been a fan of his since I was a kid. He truly deserves this award. An absolutely amazing performance I hope this get him back into business 👏🏽❤.
I adore him 💕 Great film, I'm glad he finally got to show off his acting chops. Shame, guilt, heart break, so much emotion in just a gaze. Beautifully done.
I cried for his victory! I was longing to see this brave and talented actor rise! Aronofsky one he was about to create an excellent film through Fraser excellent performance! Great director, great movie amazing actor! May God bless him!
I love his come back. What he went through is devastating for anyone, be it man or woman. We all have different reactions to certain situations. All I can say is congrats and keep on being the good man and a good dad and humble and loveable and good luck. Luv you Brendan.
I first saw him in Encino Man and thought he was awesome in that and the saw him in School Ties and was blown away by his acting ability and the story and that movie became an all time favorite of mine and he became a favorite actor of mine from that point on. Loved The Mummy Movies as well not to mention Gods and Monsters and was so moved by The Whale. So happy he won The Oscar and so well deserved. He is an amazing actor and so genuine humble and such a good person and well deserving of such an award! Congratulations Brendan!!
Seems like. Oh, really? He has a bad habit of going off his psych meds and bar hopping, especially on location. Aronofsky had to get a completion guarantee just to cast him. Batgirl was cancelled, so is Doom Patrol and there's a good chance that he's being cut out of the Scorsese movie, which he only got as a favor to his retiring agent. The Oscar will swell his head and make him careless. Good.
I have watched him in films for a long long time but was sad to see he had disappeared for a bit. He really is a phenominal actor and all he needed was a great film to come back. God gave him a second chance in The Whale. He was incredible and I have no words. I hope that this is not the last of him because he deserves more films. Hoping in 2024 he surprises us again. He is just a gem. Good all around guy and my heart goes out to him for winning the Oscar this year. He so deserved it 100%.
He was in The Affair and it might not have been a large role but MAN he was INTENSE! That to me was great acting considering he's so recognised as a comedic actor (at least to those of us who grew up watching him in said roles). Big congratulations and I'm so thrilled to see him getting recognised for his passion

I love this man with lol my heart. I feel like one of my family member’s won. We feel like we grew up together through his films. He’s always presented as talented yet kind and gracious yet humble. What an amazing, sweet soul!
So happy he finally got a oscar. He is such a great man. I am a real mummy addict sinds the first time it came out. My son alongside me. I hope so that er will be a new mummy film. Congratulations Brendan.
My son wanted to change his name to Rick Oconnel. Wouldn't work out his last name is Cuellar! So so happy for him. I screamed when they called out his name. No one more deserving.
Love this man. Real, down to earth, isn't arrogant as so many public figures become. Love you Brendan...we've been waiting for you to come back!!!! What Hollywood put him through is shameful. He has deserved this for a long time. So does Ke.
I've always liked Brendan Fraser and his movies. So unfortunate that he wasn't able to be on screen for so much of the prime of his career but I hope he gets some great roles going forward.
His prime was 1997- 2008. Do you know how many actors would be grateful for that instead of complaining? He's lucky he had that long. He's been a working actor for 32 years with credits every year from 1991- present.
It feels so good to see him again ! Being recognized. After all of this pain and struggle. And the man remained a piece of gold 💪 All the best to you Brendan ! 👏🙏 From France ❤
Same! I fully expected Austin to win because he seemed like the popular choice, but oh man after seeing The Whale it was SO well deserved! Austin was great don’t get me wrong, but Brendan deserved it ❤
The whole world loves and stays at Brendan Frasers side no matter what. We have not forgotten, we sure have missed you in the big screens for a loong time. He is an icon, legend, artist, good father, heart warming and inspiring human being whos humble, he is a true movie star and has no haters He deserves the award im so happy hope to see him in whats to come in the near future. My childhood hero!
I’m sad for him. He holds the award like a man who has felt what it’s like to lose it and everything, and it’s almost like he can’t fully enjoy it because he knows first hand it can all be taken away. We always loved him. I hope he can recover from his fall, and have a lot more of the success he deserves so that he can actually believe and enjoy it.
@@DeltaGlam11 People sadly often do not understand trauma , they think you can just throw it off easy peasy but it does not work like that. I do hope the best for that sweet man, he deserves it.
"Charlie is more than just a gay man. He fell hopelessly inconviniently in love with.. whomever is immaterial.." -Brendan Fraser shutting down statement of reducing a big character to just sexual orientation. 🙆♀️😁🙌🏽
Shabrina z Change Charlie to Brendan and he could've used that line in divorce court. He still would've lost. It wasn't love, he discarded the guy to keep from being outed. The guy "mysteriously" died soon afterwards.
This makes me tear up so hard I have loved this man since I was a kid and his movies brought me so much joy. After so many years out of the limelight coming back in such a way and to get recognition. Just seeing how much this meant to him and also how grateful he was to so many people Un his life and career is just touching. And the gays love him at least me and my partner do.
The Comeback King of Hollywood is a first-time OSCAR winner with his wife and two gorgeous teenage sons in-attendance. Simply amazing and couldn't be better than this. 👍👏👏♥️♥️💋🙏👑🇬🇧
Not wife, it girlfriend. The ex- wife took him to the cleaners. Getting $1 million a year in support. There came a point when he went to court to see if it could be reduced because he had not worked in a couple of years due to spinal surgeries and injuries he sustained. Wofe wouldnt have it. Gimme all your money!!!! He doesnt say a single bad word about her.
@@ivelissediaz9583 Because what you wrote is what a few delusional fans made up and fed to the rest of you. Afton was his stability. She kept him clean and sober and on his meds for 14 years, she picked his best scripts. Then in 2007, he went on location to China, leaving her home with 3 toddlers, went off of his meds, drank like a fish and cheated on her with a male crew member. When he came home he divorced Afton because she didn't want to be a sham wife. Without her to take care of him, he hit the skids. They reconciled in 2016, she helped him get back on his meds and the Brenaissance began. His "girlfriend" is Afton's friend and makeup artist for ballroom and Brendan's new "beard". He doesn't say anything bad about Afton because there's nothing bad to say. His fans should figure that out.
@@ivelissediaz9583 He's never been out of work in 32 years (IMDb), despite being uninsurable for anything but bit parts, voiceovers and low budget foreign films. The alimony was $600,000. It ended in 2019. He's paying $200,000 in child support. Payments are based on peak earnings (2008). There are plenty of people making much more.
Ya just want to hug that big teddy bear of a man. So humble & gracious. Congratulations but I knew there would be this moment some day when I first saw & hear him scream standing the rain "COWARDS!" in School Ties.
It has been long time I didn't c u on screen. Congratulate to u! Brendan. I like ur movie since my secondary school time, I feel hard after knwing the reasons behind. Anyhow, it is glad to c u bk again! U r great, never give up & keep going. My hubby & I r ur fan from Asia.
I love that he uses "we" instead of 'I". It says a lot about his character. His refusal to attend the Golden Globes also spoke volumes about his character.
You aren't familiar with the Royal "WE"? He is a hypocrite. He was at the Golden Globes in 2010, at the same hotel and his alleged abuser was in the room. He refused to go this year BEFORE the nominations were announced only because he thought they weren't going to nominate him.
Grande BRENDAN!!! SUPER MERITATO!!! Spero ti siano date tante altre opportunità perché si vede chiaramente in te l'emozione del successo dopo un grande duro e meritato lavoro!!!
Couldn’t have happened to a better human. Been a fan since Encino man, blast from the past, George of the jungle, Dudley do right, and etc. after him going through the storm on his little boat now he’s past that and now on an island enjoying the sun. Congrats Brendan.
So glad to see Brendan again in the lime light. Was a huge fan growing up. Was sad to see him go though difficulties and back as a winner! Way to go!! Look forward to seeing you on the big screen for many years to come...

A lot of pain in your life but this experience made you understand and play this incredible character in The Whale. Congratulations, looking forward for your next films. You are great!
In 1998, Brendan Fraser starred in Gods and Monsters, a film about gay director James Whale, which featured Ian McKellen in the Oscar nominated role of Whale. Cut to 2023 and Fraser wins Best Actor for playing a gay man in a film called, The Whale.

@@alexbrettw I think downfall and redemption are not the right terms. They had challenges, but were not in need of redemption from misdeeds.
Don’t give them any ideas. He is sacred.
This man exemplifies the saying "wears his heart on his sleeve". So genuine and sweet.
He has to, there isn't any room inside his stuffed shirt.
He deserved this award more than anyone.

@Su Su Pq first time in my life I cannot agree more.
He deserved it for the best reason, not because of the great narrative, but because he gave the performance of the year, PERIOD.
I watched this year's Oscar ceremony just for Brendan Fraser. If he hadn't won, I would have been really devastated.
me too

Soooo happy for Brendan! He deserves this and I hope it really does bring him back to us to see him in many more movies. Just absolutely love him!
He just oozes good guy energy. Such a deserving win after all of these years. I hope Hollywood continues to value his talent.
Yes! Good guy energy. I just love him.
He never stops acting.

I feel sorry for kids who had nothing in their childhoods but his stupid movies.
I have missed him so much. So glad he is back. I loved The Whale. Brendan is a wonderful man, and I hope we see much more from him.
Out of curiosity, when did you lose track of him?
I'm so freaking happy for him! I just watched With Honors the other day. It's so heartwarming seeing him being humble and really enjoying his success at this time if his life! He's done it all. I can't wait to see the doors open up for him and see what characters he plays next!!!! 👏

Very Happy for him.
But Colin Farrell was very good this year.
Both were great.
But Brendan needed the most.

He has credits from 1991-present. No years missing. IMDb
Brendan fraser looks like a guy who feels like he doesn't deserve to Be there. Bless him! I'm so glad he's got his due x
Accepting his Oscar and doing nothing but praising everyone in the cast involved this man is a humble legend
He deserves this omg. What an amazing human. So happy to see his life be so much more peaceful and he can show his worth again! ❤ love him.
Brendan always had it. So happy to see him get his 💐 flowers.

Brendan is like the cool uncle you looked up to when you were young but had fallen on hard times, you always rooted for him to get back to his feet.
The creepy weird uncle you keep your kids away from, especially the boys.
Hard times! In Bedford?
No one deserves this more than him. I've never been happier for another person in my entire life.

Genuinely happy for Brendan Fraser. Been rooting for him my whole life. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👏👏
Brendan made Oscars a valuable ceremony. Congrats Oscars for getting Brendan
Congratulations Brandon. He is humble and sweet. He is so deserving of his Oscar. God bless him.😊
Someone being humble at such a time makes it very satisfying for us common people. Good for him!
He's scamming you "common people" and laughing behind your backs.
I cried for his victory! I was longing to see this brave and talented actor rise! Aronofsky one he was about to create an excellent film through Fraser excellent performance! Great director, great movie amazing actor! May God bless him!
The movie was truly moving. Mr. Fraser brought the story to life. I'm pleased he won the Oscar -- well deserved!

He's a fraud. He's an insult to any real victim.
I first saw him in Encino Man and thought he was awesome in that and the saw him in School Ties and was blown away by his acting ability and the story and that movie became an all time favorite of mine and he became a favorite actor of mine from that point on. Loved The Mummy
Movies as well not to mention Gods and Monsters and was so moved by The Whale. So happy he won The Oscar and so well deserved. He is an amazing actor and so genuine humble and such a good person and well deserving of such an award! Congratulations Brendan!!
He seems like such a genuinely nice man...Congrats ..he will never have a problem finding roles now..they will find him..
Seems like.
Oh, really? He has a bad habit of going off his psych meds and bar hopping, especially on location. Aronofsky had to get a completion guarantee just to cast him. Batgirl was cancelled, so is Doom Patrol and there's a good chance that he's being cut out of the Scorsese movie, which he only got as a favor to his retiring agent. The Oscar will swell his head and make him careless. Good.
He deserves this comeback. Let's go Brendan!
This man is so well spoken and passionate. Absolutely so deserving of this achievement.
No one deserved this more than him.
But that voice tho. He needs to do more voice-over!!
he could be the successor for the Great Don LaFontaine (voicing over trailers)
I love how humble he is. Great actor
It's such a relief to see him in the spotlight again ♡ the characters he played were my childhood!
you can tell the award means the world to him, what a class act
He deserves it. Such a humble man as well
I feel like it was an amazing moment for us all who grew up watching an loving his movies..glad to see he's back

That's because you've never seen him offscreen when he doesn't get is own way.
When he made the comedies, he was manic.
Right?! I would love to see him in more villains role!
it says a lot about him that instead of saying "internet fans" he said "friends" - guy deserves this and so much more. So, so happy for him!
Hes such a humble and kind man! I hope the absolute best continues to come his way

He doesn't say anything bad about Afton because there's nothing bad to say. His fans should figure that out.
@@ivelissediaz9583 He's never been out of work in 32 years (IMDb), despite being uninsurable for anything but bit parts, voiceovers and low budget foreign films.
The alimony was $600,000. It ended in 2019. He's paying $200,000 in child support.
Payments are based on peak earnings (2008). There are plenty of people making much more.
Ya just want to hug that big teddy bear of a man. So humble & gracious. Congratulations but I knew there would be this moment some day when I first saw & hear him scream standing the rain "COWARDS!" in School Ties.
I just watched hoping Brendan would win. He's a genuine and good man and so deserves this.
Proof? Being a professional "victim" doesn't make him a good person.
I just adore his voice. Always liked it. You can see how overwhelmed he is, but that voice.
Thyroid.
He mentioned his ex wife. This man is a legend.
It has been long time I didn't c u on screen. Congratulate to u! Brendan. I like ur movie since my secondary school time, I feel hard after knwing the reasons behind. Anyhow, it is glad to c u bk again! U r great, never give up & keep going. My hubby & I r ur fan from Asia.
Congratulations, Brendan! I have loved you since Encino Man! Well deserved!
He is so humble and so overwhelmed. He should be proud of the work he did on this film. He deserved this award.
Proud of playing a 600lb queer that abandoned his wife and child. Who's he playing next, John Wayne Gacy, Mussolini, Hitler?
Every one around the globe is so happy to see Brendan's success. Exceptional talent from such a humble gentleman!
I love that he uses "we" instead of 'I". It says a lot about his character. His refusal to attend the Golden Globes also spoke volumes about his character.
You aren't familiar with the Royal "WE"?
He is a hypocrite. He was at the Golden Globes in 2010, at the same hotel and his alleged abuser was in the room. He refused to go this year BEFORE the nominations were announced only because he thought they weren't going to nominate him.
Love you Fraser sir from India 🇮🇳
Every award win speech he did, I cried, such a humble man. ❤ he deserves it
Lmao he's terrified/amazed at the beginning but still riffing jokes. What a guy.
Grande BRENDAN!!!
SUPER MERITATO!!!
Spero ti siano date tante altre opportunità perché si vede chiaramente in te l'emozione del successo dopo un grande duro e meritato lavoro!!!
"It was my job to play Charlie from the inside out, and theirs to create him from the outside in."
I wish this guy the best , such a good soul.
Draw. Proof?
hes so humble and amazing im gonna cry
Couldn’t have happened to a better human. Been a fan since Encino man, blast from the past, George of the jungle, Dudley do right, and etc. after him going through the storm on his little boat now he’s past that and now on an island enjoying the sun. Congrats Brendan.
So very happy for the guy, congrats Brendan 👏👍🤟
So glad to see Brendan again in the lime light. Was a huge fan growing up. Was sad to see him go though difficulties and back as a winner! Way to go!! Look forward to seeing you on the big screen for many years to come...
You didn't SEE him go through anything. Why did you believe him?
I have ALWAYS loved Brendan Fraser. He has such a good soul and it shows through in his very being.
How?
Hes so dazed. What a sweet man, I'm so happy for him. Only bigger and better things for our boy
Boozed is the word you wanted.
@Ifyouonlyknew I mean probably that too. I'm just happy that he got a big win

His next big film will be just called The life of Brendan. What a story this man has. We love you man, congratulations, well deserved.
Great actor, so many wonderful movies: School Ties, With Honors, A Blast from the Past, Crash, The Mummy, The Whale….funny, serious, sad all played masterly. A lot of pain in your life but this experience made you understand and play this incredible character in The Whale. Congratulations, looking forward for your next films. You are great!

He understood the character because He walked out on his wife in 2007 for a guy he met on location for The Mummy 3.
In 1998, Brendan Fraser starred in Gods and Monsters, a film about gay director James Whale, which featured Ian McKellen in the Oscar nominated role of Whale.
Cut to 2023 and Fraser wins Best Actor for playing a gay man in a film called, The Whale.
The phrase I hope I live up to this......I don`t think I`ve ever heard that said at an oscar award interiew before.
What a human.
So happy for him.
This guy deserves this so much ❤️ 👏
