It was no surprise to see Rami Malek take home the Academy Award for Best Actor. His performance in Bohemian Rhapsody not only wowed the critics but also brought him accolades in almost every awards this season. Even at the 91st Academy Award, he won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance of Queen's lead vocalist Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. However, before heading up to the stage to collect his award, Malek couldn't stop kissing his girlfriend Lucy Boynton.

Firstly, Boynton also played Freddie's girlfriend in Bohemian Rhapsody. The duo walked in together at the red carpet of the Oscars but little did anybody expect them to announce that they were a couple! Malek continued to kiss Lucy more than once before heading up to the stage. In fact, in his speech, he also mentioned Lucy Boynton as he said, "You are the heart of this film, you are beyond immensely talented and you have captured my heart." Check out the cute video below.

Malek started his speech by talking about Freddie being an immigrant and how he could relate to him. He said, “We made a film about a gay man, an immigrant, who lived his life just unapologetically himself. The fact that I’m celebrating him and this story with you tonight is proof that we’re longing for stories like this.” Rami Malek further added, “I am the son of immigrants from Egypt, a first-generation American. And part of my story is being written right now. And I could not be more grateful to each and every one of you, and everyone who believed in me for this moment. It’s something I will treasure for the rest of my life.”
