So is the kettle on yet? Modest two-up two-down terraced home where Gary Oldman's mother, 98, will celebrate her son's (dented) Best Actor Oscar

• e-mail

Gary Oldman thanked his 98-year-old mother as he clutched his Oscar in front of Hollywood's best and brightest in Los Angeles but it will be a two-up two-down in south London where the pair will be toasting his victory.

The British star won the statue for Best Actor after wowing the Academy and audiences alike with his powerful performance as Winston Churchill in the Darkest Hour.

Oldman, 59, appeared emotional as he accepted his award, paying tribute to his elderly mother during a lengthy speech, by telling her 'put the kettle on mum, I'm bringing Oscar home'.

But home for Kathleen is a far cry from the glitz and glamour of her son's LA mansion, where he lives with fifth wife Gisele Schmift in the fancy suburb of Los Feliz.

Instead she lives in a modest street in the Deptford area in south London, the same neighbourhood where Oldman was born and grew up.

Gary Oldman, 59, won the Best Actor Oscar on Sunday in Hollywood for his towering portrayal of wartime leader Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour

Talented: Oldman dedicated his win to his elderly mother Kathleen (right, the pair with Oldman's wife Gisele Schmidt), telling her to 'put the kettle on, I'm bringing Oscar home'

Gary Oldman paid tribute to his 98-year-old mother as he clutched his Oscar in front of Hollywood's best and brightest in Los Angeles but it will be a two-up two-down (centre) in south London where the pair will be toasting his victory

Home for Kathleen is a modest street in the Deptford area of south London, a far cry from the glitz and glamour of the fancy Les Feliz neighbourhood of Los Angeles, where her son lives with his fifth wife, Gisele Schmidt

Expensive wooden blinds hang in each of the street-front windows. The windows have been recently painted with a thick coat of grey paint. A metal gate protects the front door. Statues are perched on the first-floor window sills.

Cars, some more than 20 years old, are parked outside the Oldman's family home. A burst water pipe is spilling water on to the street. Plastic bollards stand in the road. 

Residents on the street told MailOnline they were thrilled that Oldman had taken home a statue and revealed that Kathleen had flown out to Los Angeles for the ceremony.

Oldman's family – his mother and two sisters – still live in the humble terrace house where he grew up.

One neighbour, who identified herself only as Mary, said: 'I watched the Oscars on the TV. We are all very proud of Gary [Oldman].

'I know his mum and his family, they are very nice.

'I've not seen Gary around for a few years but he has not forgotten his roots, he has not forgotten where he comes from.

'His mum Kathleen is in LA. She spends a lot of time there, being close to Gary. She would have been watching the ceremony.

'I wouldn't be surprised if he invited his sisters – [Jackie, Maureen and Eastenders actor Laila Morse] along too.'

She added: 'They [the Oldman family] were very kind to me after I lost my family. They came ''round to check on me and to see if I needed anything.''

Another neighour, who did not give his name, said: 'Gary's mum Kathleen has gone to America. She spends half the year there – depending on the weather.

'We are all very proud of Gary. He has come a long way, but he has never forgotten that he's from south London.'

During his acceptance speech, a moved Oldman said: 'I would like to thank my mother - she is older than the Oscar, she will be 99 years young next birthday.

 Thank you for your love and support.'

However, the occasion must have got to the star because shortly after he departed the stage Oldman was spotted clattering his gleaming new award into a barrier as he went to get it engraved.

Scott Feinberg, Hollywood Reporter's Awards columnist, filmed the mishap.

The journalist wrote: 'I think I witnessed Gary Oldman accidentally dent his new Oscar on his way to having it engraved...'    

It's the star's first Oscar win. He was previously nominated for the 2011 film Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Oldman beat out Timothee Chalamet for Call Me by Your Name, Daniel Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread, Daniel Kaluuya in Get Out and Denzel Washington for Roman J. Israel, Esq. for the big prize after already winning a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a BAFTA for the performance. 

Speaking on British television show Good Morning Britain after his win, he said: 'It went well. I haven't spoken to mum yet. Will speak to her in the morning. We will have a natter. 

'When I said I wanted to become an actor, mum said OK and I told her I'd have to give up work and she said OK. I had to get a grant as she couldn't afford to help me, so I did, and she's always supported me. This is her dream. 

Triumphant: The Oscar-winning actor held his Academy Award aloft as he greeted the Hollywood press in the winners' room after the ceremony 

Cream of the crop: Oldman posed with (L-R) Best Supporting Actor Sam Rockwell, Best Actress Frances McDormand and Best Supporting Actress Allison Janney in the press room 

'America has been a second home for me, I've spent more time here than I did actually in Britain. It's been a major part of my life. 

'They've been incredibly kind to me. So I wanted to acknowledge that. It's given me a home and a livelihood.

'The recognition of the work is a glorious thing, culminating in this. It gives me hope for the cinema. I have seen the numbers that the film has made. People have not been watching it on DVD. 

'They've been going to the cinema. It's extraordinary. The film is old white men in windowless rooms. Gives me hope for cinema.' 

Oldman was presented with his Oscar by Jane Fonda who was joined by Helen Mirren to announce the best actor nominees.

Oldman recalled in his acceptance speech how 'the movies captivated a young man from South London and gave him a dream.'

He also paid tribute to Churchill, saying the late leader had been 'marvelous company in what can be described as an incredible journey.' 

'My deepest thanks to the academy for this glorious prize,' he said. 'I'd like to salute Winston Churchill who has been marvellous company on what has been an incredible journey.

'The movies, such is their power, captivated a young man from South London and gave him a dream.' 

He also thanked his wife Gisele 'for travelling that road with me.' 

Oldman went to remarkable lengths to subsume himself into the famous cigar-chomping prime minister.

He spent hours in the hair and makeup chair each day before filming started.

The team behind Oldman's remarkable transformation - Brits David Malinowski and Lucy Sibbick and their Japanese colleague Kazuhiro Tsuji - won the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling

The skill of that team was also recognized with Brits David Malinowski and Lucy Sibbick and their Japanese colleague Kazuhiro Tsuji winning the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling. 

Roger Deakins was presented with the Best Cinematography Academy Award for his work on Blade Runner 2049.

It was the 14th time the 68-year-old had been nominated in the category and his first win.

His first nomination came back in 1995 for The Shawshank Redemption and his other nominated work includes the movies  Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou? Skyfall and Unbroken.

'I really love my job. I have been doing it a long time as you can see,' he said after accepting his Oscar. 'One of the reasons I really love it is because of the people I work with in front of and behind the camera.'
