Everyone was complaining for years about how Leonardo Dicaprio was never getting an oscar, when Gary Oldman is WAYYY better than Dicaprio and no one complained about him getting an oscar. Smh.
Agreed! Love your name btw. 😎
Yep. Tom Hardy should have won the Oscar for The Revenant. Not Di Caprio who tramped around in heated snow.
He's just to good at disappearing in his roles..
@@dieterrosswag933 No he's very good still
@@dieterrosswag933 ridiculous statement. Gary deserves his roses so much more but that doesn't take away from Leo..
Gary oldman is the best actor I have ever seen. No question.
Gary Oldman is the best actor ever. The man should have multiple Academy Awards. I’m glad he has an Oscar, but he should have more than one if they truly honored the best.
Yes sir. It's nice that Oldman finally started to get Oscar attention in his mid-50s, but it's also criminal how his most revered and influential work (80s, 90s, early 00s) was *completely ignored* by the Academy. Pure politics.
100% agree
Yes I agree he is one of the best actors of all time without a doubt I really loved him in movies like State Of Grace, The Firm, Dracula, The Harry Potter series and ofcourse The Darkest Hour which I think is one of the best movies he had ever acted on.
If oldman wasn't overlooked:
Best Supporting Actor: True Romance, The Dark Knight, State of Grace, Air Force One, The Contender
Best Actor: Leon:The Professional, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Sid and Nancy
The reason Gary doesn’t have many oscars is because he’s too good for them and needs his own award.
The Oldman
Gary Oldman & Daniel Day-Lewis are the best actors of our time.
God I wish they worked on a movie together. That would be too much talent for one screen.
@@Missjunebugfreak They were supposed to be co-leads in 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' (1990). Day-Lewis had to step away from the project due to stress, and was replaced by Tim Roth.
True
Never realized so many top across from here in Britain (Bale, Hardly etc) are all inspired by Oldman. He is top of the line
For some reason I feel like Gary is holding back. Because his older work is just GOLD. On a whole different level.
He played the heavy for so long. I remember reading an interview he did in the late 90s saying how he’d love to just play the lead in a romantic comedy. He’s extraordinary.
And finally, starting with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, spy, he has begun to get the attention he deserves! He truly is one of the greatest!
Agreed. I became an instant fan after seeing him in The Professional.
I never heard so many of these quotes, and I'm so excited he is so revered by other actors. It's so awesome! This is the definition of what being a legend is.
Very nice compilation. It's crazy how many people in the vid said that countless actors around them *also* idolised Oldman. A true chameleon and one of the greatest ever.
this guy is transmutable... which is absolutely nuts...
and this guy plays the long game, him and day-lewis, it takes years to realize that u were watching these guys the whole time...
Gary Oldman is an astronaut among pilots.
Thank you for this compilation! Gary is Outstanding! He is so charismatic and versatile,that it's really supernatural)I love to see,that he is the Legend among famous and talented actors)
I was so thrilled gary oldman FINALLY won an oscar. He is so amazing in every film. To play such different characters the way he does is astounding. As time has gone on denero has fallen down the list for a lot of people bc his best work is basically the same guy. Oldman imo blows denero away. Just him as the pimp in true romance is incredible. U would never believe that character is playing by a man w/ such an eloquent english accent.
Gripping. Have always been stunned by his dedication and range.
I played a quiz once where everyone had to bring their own questions. I asked, "What do Count Dracula, Sid Vicious, Lee Harvey Oswald, Winston Churchill and Beethoven have in common?" It took ages for someone to get the answer... followed by a big cheer... and then a hush of realisation for just how insanely talented this man is.
I am a stage actor myself, not a big name, just somebody managing to scrap by, but what can I say? He always surprises and amazes me in everything I see him in. He's always inspiring...if you're an actor, basically you want to be as versatile and as intense as Mr. Oldman is. Somebody whom I will always look up to as an artist, even if he might not be a nice person in his personal life, which I know only very little about.
Thanks for the comment. I'm intrigued as to why you say he might not be a nice person, though. So many people who've worked with him say exactly the opposite.
There’s something about Gary’s acting that makes it seem like almost MORE than just acting. Even when he’s not full of makeup and prosthetics, it’s always nearly impossible to see the actor behind the character.
Yeah....he's one of the greatest actor ever & everybody knows that. 🖤
Who gives a fuck about the oscars? I mean oscars went wrong many times... Everybody knows he deserves much more than one oscar...
Very cool to hear Leo name-drop STATE OF GRACE...that is THE Irish mob film, far better than the comparatively-cartoonish THE DEPARTED (with Leo, obviously) and Oldman's performance is absolutely sensational. He should have won the Oscar over Pesci that year.
I remember really first seeing Gary in the Bale's Batman movies. I've heard of that name but not really familiar with him, thought he looked the part and did great. Few years later, I'm watching Book of Eli and I didn't even recognize it was Gary. I was so blown away by his performance and the complete switch. Even when I did recognize him, I was like "that can't be who I think, can it?". The following year Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy came out and man, it pretty much sealed it as my favorite actor.
Icon...Legend...Phenom...
Mr. Oldman , Lives every part , no matter how small or Big , but Lives the Part and for that moment , we all Live it . The craft is in his Name , Oldman . How many Lives his he lived , just to share this with Us ?????
yup...gary oldman in state of grace as jackie with sean penn..holy shit he was fantastic in that film...highly highly recommend to check that film out if you haven't seen it
1.Gary Oldman
2. Daniel day Lewis
3. Anthony Hopkins
ohhhhh
I love the younger generation's one word praise lol "LEGEND" 😂😂😂
There are stars and there are actors. Gary Oldman stands head and shoulders above all others.
The greatest.
15-20 years ago a lot of ppl probably didn't even know who he was. He's like an actors actor, or like the band Rush in the 70s b4 the Tom Sawyer/Moving Pictures 1981 album. In Sid and Nancy "he is Sid", and in State Of Grace he's just amazing, and stands out like a light, even with Ed Harris and Sean Penn. Just so believable as the characters he plays. He's right there with Dinero IMO.
3 years late, but he soooo deserves this so much ❤❤❤ thank you 😃🤗👍.
Who doesn’t love him?
David Cronenberg according to Oldman. He said he didn't know why.
@@rockhero2274 I think Oldy might have been lied to. Cronenberg called him a "fabulous actor" in a 2012 interview. www.mtv.com/news/2769046/david-cronenberg-hates-dark-knight/
Gary oldman for best chameleon actor. Brando for the most realistic spontaneous reactions.
Yep...he's the best.
And Gary Oldman's favorite actor is ROBERT DE NİRO!!!
And Malcolm McDowell, apparently Gary cited Malcolm on why he wanted to become an actor after seeing him in "Raging Moon".
Gary Oldman, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, Jack Nicholson and of course Denzel, Leo
A lighthouse in my craft and in my life. The priest of this religion called acting...
Holy Shit! it is pretty much all of the best of the best actors complimenting Gary Oldman. He must be really really good.
ONly gary can make a character like gordon look and sound totally, utterly believable.
Thank you Leonardo for mentioning State of Grace what a performance I could not believe it was a British guy after I saw that movie
I have seen this video several times.
Stimme Allen zu❤
Listening to George Clooney, I am not really too sure about how I should take him.
Given the type of language that he uses he sounds as if Oldman pisses him off but from what I know of Clooney is that he's really just a gentle giant and sometimes that's just his way of emphasising what a great actor he believes Oldman to be.
Oldman and Clooney are pals; they were neighbours in LA at one time.
I've never understood why people say he's unrecognisable from part to part. I don't THINK i've ever mistaken him for someone else in a film or failed to recognise who's delivering the goods.
Early on in his career it was hard to recognise him from role to role as he consumed himself in every role and looked so different in evyrole.
What's happened for the last 15 to 20 years is he has become very recognisable and his performances are - although always magnetic and truly great acting crsft- somewhat similar now. His roles in Book Of Eli, RoboCop, and most films he's done since 2001 onwards are similar. There's only so much he can change himself.
But look at Coxy in Meantime, Sid Vicious, Joe Orton, Jackie Flannery, Dracula, Beethoven, True Romance, up to Smiley and Churchill.....he used to reinvent himself every single time. No other actor is capable of bringing so many shades and nuances and difference to each new character they play. Now, he's allowed to relax a little and just be Gary Oldman in samey kind of films because he did what hardly any other actor has done for the craft.
I mean, damn, in Hannibal I had to wait for the credits to realise he was in it. And yes I know he was heavily disfigured in it but his accents are different every time too.
@@jogon7914 yeah, i'm old enough to have seen most of those as they came out (not Sid&Nancy - thank you video) but i've always noticed him and followed his career as a great actor worth watching. He's also a pretty damned good director in Nil by Mouth.
I would like to see more scenes between Cillian Murphy and Gary Oldman , they are both talented but "normal" understated people but a gift to acting on stage or screen.
They were both great in the Chris Nolan Batman movie.
Have you seen 'Oppenheimer'? They have quite a tense one-to-one in that film.
@@BAztid Thanks for telling me I didn't know Gary Oldman was in that he didn't feature in the interviews about it. Must see.
@@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815 Oldman has only one scene. Quite an important one, though.
Greatest actor ever.
2:20 The great thing about this is that Gary was sitting next to him going "thbptttttttt!"
You have to be a talented actor to get praise from Dustin Hoffmann who was one of the best actors of his time. Gary Oldman is up there with him for sure 👏👏👏
Absolutely the One
A Chameleon. That's what I was saying ever since Drexyl in True Romance! Russian villain in Air Force One, as Rosencrantz and Tim Roth as Guildenstern, Lee Harvey Oswald, The Fifth Element 😳 He disappeared into every single role he has ever played. Mr. Oldman said he loved Gene Hackman and I cannot believe that because Gene Hackman is Gene Hackman no matter if he's Popeye Doyle or Lex Luthor it's still Gene Hackman and I don't really know what Gary Oldman is like because he has never played anything the same way in my opinion. He is the best actor of this generation. PERIOD. 🤯
Any fan needs to see his movie nil by mouth... absolutely haunting movie and very very very few people have seen it
Yes I saw it some time ago, it was very raw and in your face, very realistic, and I think he may have directed it, I'll have to look it up.
Daniel Day-Lewis is so humble, I just can't believe how down to earth he is! He always praises his colleages and doesn't consider himself to be better than anyone. He's the greatest though.
No, he is not, with all due respect. That goes to Gary Olman.
@@khalidamajoud4114 no no with all due respect that goes to DDL
Dracula is under rated for its performances. Gary gives lon Chaney and Bella lugosi and Marlon Brando in one. And what Anthony Hopkins does with the rhythm of the language is so damn good. The actress who plays Lucy killed it. I don't even hate Keanu in it because he comes across as a fool and I barely feel sorry for him. It helps that I first saw it dubbed into a different language so I didn't have the bad accent. But gary gave a performance of pure evil unlike any depictions of the devil or a monster. Peter storm are and guy pierce are also under rated for their acting chops.
The Profesional to Sid Vicious. I thought he was going to get win with The Contender.
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
Even though people shit on the movie 5th element his great in it👍and the professional, and Dracula
As much as I thoroughly agree with everything people have had to say about Gary Oldman.
I would also like to add a special mention for Michael Keaton, like many of my particular age group I first saw Michael when he played Batman and of course Batman Returns.
But I am glad that he's also managed to make some more serious movies such as Spotlight.
I like to see MK get a few more really good roles.
One word... Drexl
Even his cameo in True Romance. I mean WHY? Because it pleased him!. Because he loved the weirdo fruit loop psycho character!
In Bram Stokers Dracula the accent was way out there. Even the pronunciation of the very name made your skin crawl..Drrak-oo-la!
I know I'm not doing it justice, but he decides, right everyone has been pronouncing it like that for decades, now I'm going to pronounce it like this!
Sid and Nancy was a great performance, although his co-title character, it has to be said, was so irritating, by the end of the movie I think I could've killed her myself!
Really wish moonlight sonata played through the whole video, especially since he did the best playing Beethoven.
He actually played that on the piano in the movie. I remember in an interview when the interviewer said how believable he looked at playing that piece on the piano, to which Gary replied: I actually played it, I spent 6 months learning it. Amazing actor, the best.
who wouldn’t!
Daniel day lewis on Gary oldman ahhhh two geniuses!!
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Sid Vicious 😎
