TwitterFacebook

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. 

“Thank you, Queen. Thank you guys for allowing me to be the tiniest part of your phenomenal, extraordinary legacy. I am forever in your debt,” Malek said, during his emotional acceptance speech.

“This is a monumental moment. I am so appreciative to all of you,” Malek added. “We made a film about a gay man, an immigrant who lived his life unapologetically as himself. The fact that I’m celebrating him and this story with you tonight is proof that we’re longing for stories like this.” Read more…

It doesn’t matter how successful you get, your old friends will always be there to bring you right back down to earth.

Rami Malek, who was recently nominated for his first Oscar for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody, just learned that the hard way.

Actor Rachel Bilson just shared what’s pretty much the ultimate throwback photo of Malek on Instagram to congratulate him on his Oscar nom. The two went to Notre Dame High School in California together, and they don’t look much older than high school kids in this photo. 

“Hey @ramimalek where’d you get that gold chain?” Bilson jokingly wrote in the caption for the photo showing a young Rami Malek, who’s sporting spikes and a thick gold chain while embracing The O.C. star. Read more…

Bumping into a celebrity in public can be a tricky road to navigate.

You want to say hello, but you don’t want to embarrass them. Maybe you want an autograph, or perhaps that much-coveted selfie as proof of the encounter, but you don’t want to risk them saying no.

Nobody is more familiar with the potential awkwardness of a celebrity encounter than Twitter user Xan.

On Monday night, she met the star of Bohemian Rhapsody.

While the extended musical sequences dazzled critics, the consensus is that it lacks the bite of its source material — which kind of makes sense considering its rocky production history.

The original star of the film, Sacha Baron Cohen, quit after reporting creative differences with the Bohemian Rhapsody team and controversy surrounding director Bryan Singer largely disturbed filming, leading to his late-stage replacement. Read more…
