Malek wins his first Oscar in his role as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in "Bohemian Rhapsody." He was the only first-time nominee in the category.

The actor thanked his mother, who was in the audience Sunday, and also paid tribute to his later father, who he said didn't get to see him become a film star.
