It takes a strong man to play a supporting role, and the Oscars honored “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” star Sam Rockwell for that role during the 2018 ceremony, winning over fellow nominees Willem Dafoe (“The Florida Project”), Woody Harrelson (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”), Richard Jenkins (“The Shape of Water”), and Christopher Plummer (“All the Money in the World”).
Rockwell’s speech praised his parents’ love of movies and thanked “anyone who’s ever looked at a billboard.” He was the frontrunner coming into Sunday’s awards, as he was a force for his portrayal of an, um, “complicated” small town police officer, whose personality flaws include deeply embedded racism. The “Charlie’s Angels” breakout star had previously won nearly every trophy for which he was nominated this Oscar season, including the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and SAG Award.
