I HATE that he thought we forgot him... when we were just missing him. I genuinely MISSED him. I had no idea where he went. He was hands down my favourite actor as a teen.

[LSPig]

He won the best actor award and spends the whole time praising his coworkers, such a good guy

[Garf_malarf]

“So this is what the multiverse looks like” not sure many people understood what he was saying. he genuinely believed that the only way that he would ever win an Oscar is if he was in a different universe.

[valeriosanna]

From “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” to “The Whale”. One of the most grown-up actors ever. Extremely fair victory.

[jackapples]

Next to Leo and Joaquin Phoenix, this is the most deserved Oscar of all time. You could visually see him holding back every emotion in his speech but it was the emotion of 30 years in the making. No one has ever worked this hard for an Oscar

[Erasureeraser]

One of the greatest comeback in history. This man left Hollywood for a few years then suddenly make a comeback, deliver one of the best performance of last year and won an Oscar? Now that's a true achievement right there, so happy for Fraser. Cheers to his future, this is just the beginning of his comeback

[williamgregory]

Respect Brendan Fraser.
Protect Brendan Fraser.

Embrace Brandon Fraser.

And most of all:

Love Brendan Fraser ❤️

[andreaj.]

When they said Brendan Fraser's name I screamed, jumped and cried for his winning. I have never been so happy for someone. He really deserved it ❤️❤️. I have been supporting him from the beginning, he is one of the most beloved actors, I love him so much 💟

[danielcubides]

I'll never forget his dorky but courageous and brave personality shown in the Mummy franchise. Brendan was like the Indiana Jones of us 90s babies and after all the trauma and adversities he had to go through during the 2000s this is the reward of all those years of suffering and dejection

[chelseacanales]

I’ll never forget when I tried not to scream when he won the Oscar. Brenden most definitely deserves an Oscar.

Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. This is really the year of comeback! And almost 20 million turned in, this is the proof that it's what the people want!

[marcosviniciusfonseca]

The turns the world takes, Brendan was rejected and sidelined by the industry, but they elevated him to the biggest role of his career. He arrived on time. I loved and cried. Well deserved.

[richardlugali]

This was easily the tightest category this year, all of the nominees could have won for their incredible performances. But I'm glad the award went to Fraser; as he not only gives a brutal and moving performance but also marks a triumphant return to someone who was shut out for many years. What a wonderful comeback.

[johnnolan]

Hugely deserved. I sat in the theatre for 10 minutes after the film ended just to gain my composure. I was so moved by his performance.

[cubdukat]

I love his humility. He just looked so surprised that he won.

[DanielLazuka]

“Only the whales can swim at the depth of the talent of Hong Chau”🥺

[franklesher]

Brendan Fraser is one true inspiration, ever since I saw him in “The Mummy”

For me, i was expecting that Austin Butler to win for his role in “Elvis”, but after watching “The Whale”, I knew that Brendan created the most wonderful and complex performance of a lifetime. A deserving victory.

[Erasureeraser]

What a time to be alive! We got to see two amazing actors making a comeback in the same year and won an Oscar in the same year. God bless Ke Huy Quan and Brendan Fraser, looking forward to see how their career will go after their Oscar win, Hollywood should give these two more great roles

[FelipeDumasVaron]

One of the few actor you cannot hate. He’s such a charismatic guy you just want to give him a warm hug and talk about how your day was with. I’m so happy he’s getting his flowers.

[bishwhitaker]

Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser has such a nice ring to it.
