The attention of the public was focused on Leonardo DiCaprio , who for twenty-two years waited for his high point, but among the candidates were the names of four more lucky ones. Eddie Redmayne - one of those who was nominated in 2016 for the Oscar. In the nomination "Best Actor", the British competed with Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon , Brian Cranston and the already mentioned Leonardo DiCaprio. However, unfortunately many of his fans, Eddie Redmene Oscar did not receive.

Way to success

Eddie Redmain's parents were very fond of the theater and often took with them to the premiere a young son. He began to show love for art at the age of eight, so studying at acting courses was easy for him. After graduating from Eton College, where he was the head of the faculty and soloist of the choir, Redmayne decided to continue his studies at Cambridge, choosing the Faculty of Art History. As a student of the last year, he made his debut on the stage of the famous British theater Globe, playing a role in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. In 2004, the role of Edward Albee brought the twenty-two year old Eddie Redmain the Critics' Circle Theater Awards (nomination "Outstanding Beginner Actor"). A talented young man with a memorable appearance was noticed by the directors, and interesting proposals did not take long to wait. Until 2012, Eddie Redmayne played more than fifteen roles in the paintings that went out in the world. By this time, the actor already had in his own piggy bank not one prestigious award, among them the Lawrence Olivier Prize, and the Tony Award. In parallel, the actor tried his strength in the model field. In 2008, he signed a contract with the fashion house Burberry. The brand's advertising campaign, over which he worked with Alex Pettifer, has become one of the most successful in the history of Burberry. In 2012, his colleague on the podium was the famous model of Kara Delevin.

World Recognition

In 2013, Eddie Redmayne received an offer from the director James Marsh, who was preparing to shoot a picture of the famous scientist-physicist Stephen Hawking. The script, written by Anthony McCarten, liked the actor, so he embarked on the work with enthusiasm. The picture "Theory of Everything" (in the Russian box office - "The Universe of Stephen Hawking") claimed the role of the best film of 2015. The victory was won by the film "Berdman", but Redmain's work did not remain unnoticed. The role of Stephen Hawking has brought the British actor the most, perhaps, the main award in the film industry - Oscar. Oscar presentation took place in the hall of Dolby Theater, and Eddie Redmayne, who chose for the ceremony a suit made by the designers of the fashion house Alexander McQueen, looked like a real triumphant.

With that, whether there is an Oscar from the actor, figured out, but Eddie Redmayne was marked not only by this award. Having played Stephen Hawking, the actor won the hearts of many spectators. This role has also earned him the BAFTA and Golden Globe awards.
