Brendan Fraser is now an Academy Award winner.

In one of the absolute warmest moments of the 95th Academy Awards, Fraser completed his Hollywood comeback by taking home the Best Actor trophy for his performance in The Whale.

A visibly emotional Fraser accepted the award with a touching speech that talked about his journey to the gold and gave credit to his fellow creatives and his family.

If you’ve grown up on Fraser’s films, you’re likely celebrating such a fantastic moment in the longtime actor’s career. Not many thought Fraser would ever storm back like he has, but he now has the film industry’s highest honor to show for it.

Fraser joins an elite group of actors who have taken home the Best Actor Oscar, and he’ll next get a chance to star in a possible Oscar film in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, slated to come out later this year.

Fraser’s on-screen turn in The Whale has earned him the best reviews of his career, and his fellow actors rewarded him handsomely for the performance on Sunday night.

Fraser became overwhelmed with emotion during his fantastic acceptance speech, one of those moments that you don’t forget anytime soon. An Oscar moment could be next.

Fraser has long been one of the warmest personalities in Hollywood and is the object of plenty of nostalgic love for his many notable performances from the ’90s and ’00s.

With Butler winning the BAFTA last weekend in the same category, it figures that Fraser and Butler will be the two vying for Best Actor next month.
