- Before picking up the BAFTA and the Oscar for his performance in Darkest Hour, Gary Oldman joined Sandro Monetti and an audience of BAFTA members to discuss his remarkable career. It is impossible to encapsulate a career that includes roles as Beethoven, Churchill, Sirius Black, Lee Harvey Oswald, Sid Vicious, Dylan Thomas, Commissioner Gordon, Elvis, Pontius Pilate and Dracula, but we tried.

The actor is simply amazing. A real chameleon. Utterly believable as he seems to disappear into a character. So versatile but underutilized. Give him more work and a raise.
Top of his game. Amazing, incredible,mega talented and seems to be a lovely guy
Glad to see Gary Oldman getting recognition - a consistently good actor - but so good you don't even realize it's him until you see the end credits sometimes. "That was Gary Oldman?" Yes!
I grew up on de niro brando Olivier etc but over the years I've realised that Gary oldman is impeccable in his art, the only actor to to have ever gotten me so invested in his character that I can't even tell he's actually acting the stansfield character in Leon was fucking mind blowing and in my opinion is an absolute masterclass in existential peril for the audience
Great interview.
Love to hear him speak. So relaxing.
And the accent he’s acquired! It takes you the length and breadth of Britain (a few surprising West Country ‘R’s wure emurging towareds the end thure) across the Atlantic for a quick spin around the US which might be why his ‘T’s can become ‘D’s, even when talking about Harry Podder. I’d normally find this sort of thing a bit annoying, but it’s Gary Oldman, and it’s
one of Newton’s more prophetic Laws of Physics governing the universe that states “No utterance nor action by a Gary Oldman can ever cause vexation of any kind in any Grenades blue of hue”.
I just wish he’d use a bit better judgement when picking his roles these days. In the ‘90s apart from the odd mishap he was like a force of nature with classic after classic, but since then - okay, he slowed to near standstill to raise his kids which just adds to the man’s legend - but apart from the admittedly huge Potter and Batman films, 3 Batman and 2 films and 1 and a half appearances in Potter, in which he really did shine, and then Tinker Tailor, Lawless and Darkest Hour, oh and a Bowie video, this millennium has been pretty much a sea terrible films and video games. Okay, you can’t expect him to have the fire in his belly that he did in the ‘90s and I think he’s a lot happier now (always great for the artist, but unfortunately often bad for the art, though it needn’t be) but the number of truly atrocious films he’s appeared in... All I can think is that he’s got his iron in a lot of fires and he’s just doing what pays well, or he needs to fire his agent. It just seems a waste and he’s far and away my favourite actor.
But I’m in danger of breaking Newton’s Oldman Law.
His accent...
Relaxing voice...
Great interview...
Aw I love Gary Oldman.
But he really should do a musical team up with Gary Newman.
