Christoph Waltz Wins Best Supporting Actor

Christoph Waltz won the first Oscar of the night for his role in Inglourious Basterds. Waltz and Mo’Nique from Precious have won everything before Oscar night and so it’s not that much of a surprise that Waltz won.

In Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds the dynamic Waltz portrayed Standartenführer Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter.”

Basterds is World War II film thats also stars Brad Pitt, Waltz, Eli Roth and Mélanie Laurent. It centers on two different plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership, one planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor (Laurent), and the other by a team of Jewish Allied soldiers led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt).
