The Best Actor category, is maybe, alongside with the “best picture”, the most expected moment of the academy’s award ceremony.

This year the Oscar was given to the more than deserving Ramie Malek who resurrected Freddy Mercury, the legendary lead singer of worldwide famous rockband: Queen.

The performance he offered us throughout the movie, is a master class for acting.

A biographical take is always a risky move, as fans expect a flawless and realistic performance. However, in “Bohemian Rhadospy”, it is safe to declare: You will get to understand the profound love of music and performing Freddy Mercury was blessed with. But also his eccentric crazy rebellious lifestyle. Finally, Ramie Malek gave us the opportunity to understand the story of a cultural-historical icon, a symbol of the LGBT community, and the colorful lifestyle carried and shared by one of the greatest band this planet nurtured.
