Brendan Fraser in The Whale
Brendan Fraser made his comeback to movies late last year and swept the Oscars 2023 with the coveted Best Actor award. This is his first Academy Award. Brendan got a standing ovation as he walked towards the Oscars stage with fellow actors cheering for him. The psychological drama is written by Samuel D. Hunter and directed by Darren Aronofsky. It is based on one of Hunter’s plays of the same name and is about going through grief to find salvation.
