What 2018's Oscar Winners Are Doing Next

10. Sam Rockwell

Career So Far: After early roles in TV's The Equalizer and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, the 49-year old Californian gradually worked his way up to becoming one of the most respected, scene-stealing character actors around, with the likes of Galaxy Quest, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Moon and Iron Man 2.

2018 Oscar Win For: His supporting performance as Deputy Dixon in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

What's Next: Something tells us we're likely to see Rockwell right back in the exact same place this time next year, in what promises to be another prominent supporting role: that of US President George W Bush in Backseat.

Director Adam McKay's biopic of Bush's Vice President Dick Cheney casts Christian Bale in the lead, with a starry supporting cast including Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney, Steve Carrell as Donald Rumsfeld and Tyler Perry as Colin Powell.

On top of this, Rockwell will also take the lead in crime comedy Blue Iguana.
