Rami Malek's trophy case is remarkable for its range and historic significance. He is the first actor of Egyptian and Arab heritage to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, a milestone he achieved for his electrifying transformation into Freddie Mercury. The same performance earned him a clean sweep of the top four acting prizes: Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild Award. On television, his work on Mr. Robot brought him a Primetime Emmy Award, making him one of the few actors to win both an Emmy and an Oscar for lead roles. Malek's ability to disappear into radically different characters has earned him widespread respect from peers and critics alike.

AwardsRami Malek has won numerous major awards for his acting. He received the Academy Award for Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody (2019), along with the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild Award in the same category. For his role in Mr. Robot, he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (2016) and the Critics' Choice Television Award. He also won MTV Movie & TV Awards for Best Performance and Best Kiss (shared with Lucy Boynton) for Bohemian Rhapsody.
