Gary Oldman is the overwhelming favorite to take home the Best Actor BAFTA Sunday for his portrayal of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It’d be his third BAFTA overall, but his first for acting; his first two wins came 20 years ago for writing and producing Best Original Screenplay and Best British Film winner “Nil by Mouth.”
Based on his childhood, “Nil by Mouth” was Oldman’s writing and directorial debut, following a dysfunctional working class family coping with addiction and violence. Ray Winstone and Kathy Burke received BAFTA nominations for their performances as the husband and wife Ray and Val, respectively. Oldman’s sister Laila Morse made her acting debut as Val’s mother Janet and won a British Independent Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer.
