Eddie Redmayne became centre of attention with his first Oscar award for portraying Stephen Hawking, a well-respected physicist. In fact, the spotlight has stayed on him because we knew he was playing another challenging role in The Danish Girl, which won him another Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Playing against him, Alicia Vikander has won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars for her portrayal of another "Danish Girl" - Gerda, Einar Wegener's wife.
