Bohemian Rhapsody star and category frontrunner Rami Malek is officially taking home the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 2019 Academy Awards.

Malek’s portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury earned him the accolade Sunday night, as well as the titles of Best Actor at the BAFTAs and Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes earlier this awards season.
