in 2017, oldman played three film roles: a billionaire entrepreneur in "the space between us", a dictatorial president in "the hitman's bodyguard", and former british prime minister winston churchill in "darkest hour"—his portrayal of churchill garnered critical acclaim. oldman's transformation into the wartime prime minister took 200 hours in the makeup chair, 14 pounds of silicone rubber, and $20,000 worth of cuban cigars, which gave him nicotine poisoning. in 2018, he won the academy award for best actor, golden globe award for best actor – motion picture drama, critics' choice movie award for best actor, screen actors guild award for best actor, and bafta award for best actor in a leading role. his golden globe win came despite oldman having once been a critic of that award; he noted that he was "amazed, flattered and very proud" to be nominated.
