‘Put the kettle on, mum, I’m bringing Oscar home’

Gary Oldman told his 98-year-old mother to “put the kettle on, I’m bringing Oscar home” as his portrayal of Winston Churchill earned him his first Oscar.

The British star, 59, picked up the best actor prize for his turn in Darkest Hour, while Frances McDormand won the best actress gong for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

The Shape Of Water picked up four of the 13 Oscars it was nominated for, including best director for Guillermo del Toro and the night’s biggest prize, best picture.
