LOS ANGELES — Brendan Fraser, whose career has featured both meteoric success and semi-obscurity, celebrated perhaps his finest hour Sunday, winning the Oscar for lead actor for his performance in “The Whale.”
“So this is what the multiverse looks like!” Fraser proclaimed in his acceptance speech, thanking his director Darren Aronofsky for “throwing me a creative lifeline.”
Fraser’s road to Oscar began with a six-minute standing ovation for his transformative performance in Darren Aronofsky’s film at its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival last September.
