Perennial Hollywood favourite Julianne Moore, who has swept most of the awards season honours for her portrayal of a woman suffering from Alzheimer's in Still Alice, took the best actress prize. "And thank you for reminding me of the overwhelming power of the will to love and the will to live every second of your life as fully and as passionately as possible." Loading. "Thank you for allowing someone who gave up science when they were 14-years-old to enter your orbit," Redmayne said. In his acceptance speech, Redmayne paid tribute to the wheelchair-bound Professor Hawking, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Redmayne, 33, beat out competition from Michael Keaton (Birdman), seen by many as a favourite, Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game), Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler). In the acting honours, Britain's Eddie Redmayne thrust himself into Oscars contention by winning the best actor award for his portrayal of stricken physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. The victory leaves the film on pole position heading into next month's Academy Awards, which will be handed out in Hollywood on February 22. The honour for Birdman came just 24 hours after Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's film scooped the top prize at the Producers Guild of America awards, another significant Oscars bellwether.
The comedy emerged victorious ahead of coming-of-age drama Boyhood, Wes Anderson's screwball caper The Grand Budapest Hotel, World War II drama The Imitation Game and the Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything.
