Brendan Fraser wins the Academy Award for Best Actor in The Whale

You are beloved Brendan, the 90s kids have you. Well deserved.

I almost cried when I watched this. Austin Butler looked happy for him. His time is coming. He's an amazing actor too.

Before MARVEL before DC
He's the superhero of 90's kids ❤️

His brain working on overdrive to think of all those whale puns, I love him 😭😭

As someone who doesn't care about Oscars, Actors, or even movies anymore, for some reason I feel overwhelming joy seeing this man acknowledged and validated.

[griffinholahan]

I was so nervous because it was either him or Austin Butler.

But I'm so happy that Brendan Fraser finally won an Oscar. What a comeback!

[amrikd]

Favourite award of the night. Well deserved Brendan Fraser. 👏

[Dad.and.Addison]

I love how Austin Butler gave him a standing ovation. He was the only one out of the nominees that seemed legitimately happy for him. I think he knew Brendan deserved that award.

[josephwalther]

Great that he received a standing ovation. The audience were immediately on their feet after the announcement.

I think this is my favorite Oscar moment/win in all my 52 years. Go I can't wait to see what he does next.

I think the most beautiful part of this moment was the excitement on the faces of Colin Farrell and Austin Butler. The fact that Colin immediately cheered and Austin shot to his feet just prove what amazing people they are to show that much love and excitement for him. My respect for them not just as actors but as Humans grew immensely during this moment. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[BertWeiland]

Hallee and Jessica got surprised when they read his name, Austin and Collin jumped on their seats and applauded, this might probably be the most happy Oscar winning of all times, go on Brendan, we love you

[barbaragayton]

He is such a sweet humble guy. He deserves this a million times over. God bless him

[gummygoo]

This man is an angel. 100% deserved this win ❤

[AndrewBarsky]

This guy struggled his whole life to achieve this. Went through more shit then anyone in Hollywood to get there. He has no idea what to say, because after all he went through he never thought he’d get this.

Good for you man

I’m so THRILLED Brendan won. So happy for

[bobthebear]

Talk about the comeback of all comebacks. I am so proud of Brendan Fraser. Never in a million years did I ever think he would come back to win a Best Actor Oscar®. I need to see _The Whale._

[shawncarter]

I was rooting for both Austin and Brendan. I’m glad Brendan won

[Gg-pyiu]

It's the first time I've cried for an actor I'm so proud and happy for him ❤

Well deserved. His acting was brilliant in The Whale. The movie was also powerful. Hopefully Brendan starts acting more often because he's one of the best.
