UPDATED with speech video: When it comes to two of the industry’s biggest awards, first time is a charm for Rami Malek.

20th Century Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody won the top film honor at the 55th annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing. The Queen biopic is also up for the same honor at the Oscars a week from tomorrow. Last year, the society tapped Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk for the top film honor, and it went on to…

Bohemian Rhapsody soars on the strength of a performance by Rami Malek, who got under the skin of iconic Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in a way that has made him the prohibitive favorite in the Oscar Best Actor race.
