Oliver Reed to win Oscar tribute?...

The late Irish based actor Oliver Reed may now be due a posthumous Oscar for his role in the Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator. The actor may now be up for the role of Best Supporting actor in the film in which he died during it's filming in May 1999 aged 61.

According to reports in the Irish press the actor's late wife Josephine Reed, who still lives in the couple's mansion near Cork in Ireland, said it would be a great tribute to him. "It would be a wonderful tribute to him if he were to receive one. He loved the role as the slave master in the film. He was such a rogue and this role was typically him. It would be really great if he was honoured in this way," she said.

Reed made over 80 films and never won an Oscar but this would not be a sympathy award it would be for his work as a fine actor said one Hollywood insider. "His role as Proximo reminded us all that first and foremost Ollie was a very fine actor. It's just a shame that his finest hour should have such tragic circumstances."
