Austrian actor Christoph Waltz picked up his second Academy Award for best supporting actor Sunday night, for Quentin Tarantino’s film “Django Unchained.”
Waltz won in 2009 for “Inglourious Basterds,” also a Tarantino film.
The BBC’s Entertainment Reporter Natalie Jamieson says as soon as Waltz walked in to audition for “Inglourious Basterds,” Tarantino knew he had found a priceless character actor.
