He leads British hopes to win an Oscar for his outstanding performance in Darkest Hour on the biggest showbiz night of the year.
And Gary Oldman, 59, was supported by his wife Gisele Schmidt at the Great British Film Reception, in Los Angeles, California on Friday.
The Oscar nominated actor and his glamorous wife were the picture of a newly wed couple when they cuddled up to each other on the red carpet.

BAFTA winner Gary added a pop of colour to his ensemble when he accessorised with a red polka dot bow tie to complement his spotty shirt.
Meanwhile, Gisele looked stylish when she donned a semi-sheer blouse, sleek trousers and sky-scraper heels to the event.
Gary was every inch the leading man on the red carpet, which was no surprise as he has been nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars for Darkest Hour.
Darkest Hour charts the British Prime Minister’s torment when he is faced with the decision to either negotiate with Hitler or to wage war against all odds during the early days of World War II.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays opposite Gary as his on-screen wife Clemmie Churchill in the critically-acclaimed film.

Oscar nominated Gary and his wife mingled with Hollywood’s elite at the gala, which was held in honour of the British nominees for the 90th Academy Awards.
The Great British Film Reception bash was hosted by HM Consul General Mike Howells and BAFTA Los Angeles Chairman Kieran Breen.
No doubt the sexual harassment scandal that has caused a stir in Hollywood will dominate the star-studded ceremony.
Gary will rub shoulders with his first wife Lesley Manville at the Oscars as she has been nominated as best supporting actress.
Their 12-year-old son Alfie is said to be delighted that both of his parents have been nominated for the glitzy awards.
Lesley told The Daily Mail: ‘The announcement came out at 5.30am in LA – lunchtime here. My son woke up Gary and said, “Hey, Dad, you’ve got a nomination and – guess what? – so has Mum!”
‘Alfie thought it was hilarious. It’s a win-win for the family really. It’s pretty big for him.’ A happy family story, then, but one tinged with a legacy of bitterness for the woman Oldman walked out on shortly after Alfie was born.’
As well as bagging a few awards for his performance, Gary revealed that he was in character as Winston Churchill when he proposed to his now-wife.
He joked with Jimmy Kimmel: ‘We were down in the war rooms, and I took her into the back room. And as Winston Churchill, I said “Will you marry me?”‘
The couple have gone from strength to strength since they exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony in California in August 2017.
