The Academy Awards recognises the remarkable Alicia Vikander

There were not many surprises in this week’s Academy Awards and it was right that Leonard di Caprio won an award at long last for his eponymous role in “The Revenant”.

A surprise to some may have been the award of Best Supporting Actress to the Swedish Alicia Vikander for her role in “The Danish Woman” (which I haven’t actually seen), but I am sure that this is deserved.

Over a year ago, I did a posting identifying Vikander as the hottest actress in Hollywood. Just under a year ago, I did another posting arguing that a star was born. You are going to hear a lot about this remarkable talent.
