Javier Bardem picked up the Best Supporting Actor award at last night's Oscars, for his role in 'No Country For Old Men'.
Javier Bardem has become the first Spanish actor to win an Oscar for his role as the psychopathic serial killer Anton Crirgurh, in the film No Country For Old Men.
During his acceptance speech, which was in Spanish, Bardem, 38, dedicated the award to Spain and to his mother, the Spanish movie and television actress Pilar Bardem, who was with him at the ceremony. Bardem's uncle, Juan Antonio, is also an actor and was the first Spaniard to be nominated for an Oscar, back in 1959 for La Venganza.
No Country For Old Men, a violent modern western thriller, which was written and directed by the Coen brothers, received four gongs in total, including Bardem's award for Best Supporting Actor.
Bardem, who has been acting since the age of six, was previously nominated for an Oscar in 2001 for Best Actor, in Before The Night Falls.
He has already picked up awards for his latest role in the Baftas and the Golden Globes and has now added the industry's highest honour.
Bardem is already a household name in Spain with four Goyas – the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars. He only moved into mainstream Hollywood a few years ago and has also starred in Collateral and Love In The Time of Cholera.
