10 Oscar Winners Prove That the Academy is Obsessed with Appearances

10. Eddie Redmayne

The 33-year old actor portrayed physicist Stephen Hawking in the 2014 film, The Theory of Everything. Redmayne admits that he went through a rigorous physical and emotional process to encapsulate Hawking. Redmayne says he attended weekly ALS clinics where he met and talked with patients. He also worked with a dancer-choreographer three days a week, three to four hours a day, to teach his body how to render each stage of Hawking’s physical decline. Dramatic makeup and the use of prosthetics allowed Redmayne to portray Hawking accurately over time, as the disease transformed him physically. Redmayne won the 2014 Academy Award for his outstanding performance.
