Gary Oldman And Me 📷 || Will He Win His First Oscar Soon?
Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him. - Kevin Bacon
I love him, too. That's why I'm extraordinary proud that I had the chance to meet him in person once.
The night we took the following picture Gary Oldman came to know that he was nominated for his first Oscar (Leading Role in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"). What a great moment to remember!
Now six years later he's nominated again. For his performance in "Darkest Hour" he was already awarded with a Golden Globe, so odds are pretty good this time.
Do you believe he will win the Oscar this year?
@surfermarly meeting Gary Oldman in Berlin
A snowy night in Berlin
It was on the 24th of January 2012 when I especially loved my job.
I was working for the German TV channel Tele 5 that was sponsoring a couple of international movie premiers in order to strengthen their brand image in the film industry. On the mentioned date the premier of the Hollywood movie "Tinker Tailor Solder Spy" was taking place in Berlin, and Tele 5 was on board again.
Lucky me, my boss sent me to the capital in order to supervise the event.
While it was heavily snowing outside, it got quite cozy inside the Kino International. Before the official part of the premier began, I got the unique chance to meet the leading actor himself personally.
Now after that great encounter I can say that besides being one of the best actors the world has ever seen, he's extraordinarily gentle and charming :-)
While we were posing for the cameras, his stuff informed us that he was just nominated for the Oscar for the very first time in his life. What a moment!
Exactly six years later Gary Oldman is nominated again for the Acadamy Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. Do you recognize him here?
Being good is not good enough
As in any other area of competition, wanting to be good at something is often not enough, or as Gary Oldman said once:
Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
You definitely have it, Gary!
Let's shoot for the moon, my fingers are crossed!

So jealous! I've wanted to cast Gary Oldman in every project I've ever worked on. The dude is incredible. Can't wait to see Darkest Hour. Great post!
I can totally relate. He's definitely one of the best!
Thanks for stopping by Doug, hope everything is alright :-)
I actually think he is gonna win this :) it's his year! And thanks for adding the "Leon" still: in my opinion, it's his best role :-) Maybe not his most interesting character, but the one where his intensity shines through!
I couldn't agree more on on both of your statements. Leon was definitely Garysmatic :-)
Let's hope for the 4th of March!
OOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGG.... How could I pass such a great pun!!!! I disappoint myself! haha and the Oscar of the best pun goes to.... @surfermarly ! 👏👏🏆🏆
Haha, thanks! Means a lot since English is not my mother tongue :-)))

Awesome, count me in! :-)
Really....... But you are trying your best nah
I too agree to your statement, but I think he should put more of his best attitude.
You look really different and pretty in this pic, may be earrings are doing the truck.😜😜
What a great story. I agree, the Oscar is his. What a chameleon that actor is, and what a charming person. I recently enjoyed attending a 2 hour tribute to him and took some pictures that I posted on my Steemit blog.
Oh cool, so you have some shots with him, too! :-) I tried to find them in your blog, but I guess I'd have to scroll down a bit?
He's very charming, I fully agree. He's a star without aires and graces.
I didn’t want to spam you with the link but, since you asked ;-) https://steemit.com/portraitphotography/@kunschj/gary-oldman-honored-with-the-modern-master-award-at-the-2018-santa-barbara-international-film-festival
Too sad this was 8 days ago, now the payout is closed. I would have loved to vote and resteem your article. You took some excellent photography here! I guess it's your profession?
My latest hobby. I’m just happy someone got to enjoy it. Cheers!
Haha, I had never seen this one before. Awesome!
Holy #%$&!!! I cannot believe that is him playing Churchhill!?! What a transformation??? My god I'd never have recognized him without it being pointed out.............. That is one AWESOME pic of you two by the way!
That was exactly what I thought when I saw the trailer for the very first time! What a transformation and what a great performance. He has to win the Oscar, then I have a picture with an Academy Award winner -ha! :-)
Such a GREAT talent. I'll bet meeting him was a blast! Dracula was one of my many favorites from him but there are so many he's done! Great little post that brought out the memories!
Thanks for that!
It's hard to say which was my favourite role, there are so many. I also liked him a lot as Gordon in The Dark Knight. He said once:
That's definitely one of his regognition values.
I think he should have been nominated for his role as "Commissioner Gordon" in The Dark Knight.
Agreed! That's also one of my favourite roles.
I freaking love Gary Oldman. Leon is a great film due to this guy, who plays his role amazingly.
I must say, that photo of you with him - looks nothing like ya!
That's why I included the picture from Leon. Fully agreed :-)
Haha, it's me on the picture - a little younger and a little blonder.
I watched it just a month or two ago as Sylvia hadn't seen it. If you are reading this and haven't seen Lyon, you must!
I believe you re: the photo, but having seen recent photos, videos, and met you, you look very different next to Gary!
p.s. was it 5 STEEM for our bet? I think i'm going to lose! GRRRRRRRR!
Haha, it was only 1 Steem :-)
By the way: just hit the 6,000 followers mark. I can still beat you :-P
WTF😱
He is one of the Legends and a True mentor when it comes to acting🤞🏾📈🚀♻️
You have been blessed to be in his presence🙏🏾
He is awesome in everything. I haven’t seen the darkest hour yet but I really have to do so. From the trailers, he looks incredible in it.
