Oldman's spy role tipped for Oscar

Gary Oldman said the role of George Smiley “would be the perfect casting” for winning his first Oscar.

The 'Nil By Mouth' director stars as the famous spy in Tomas Alfredson’s big screen adaptation of John Le Carre’s cult novel 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' which premiered at the British Film Institute on London’s Southbank tonight.
