Gary Oldman won this year’s Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his uncanny portrayal of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in this biographical drama set during the early days of World War II. The fate of western Europe rested on the shoulders of nearly-appointed British Prime Minister Churchill, who had to decide whether to negotiate with Adolf Hitler or fight on against incredible odds.
