Malek also gushed about Queen's performance and called it \"the perfect way to start\" the 91st Academy Awards.
\"Hearing them do two songs, one that Brian May wrote, one that Freddie [Mercury] wrote, just kind of anthems for championing human beings, is the perfect way to start that,\" he told ABC News backstage after the win.
\"I don't remember an Oscars in my life where everyone from the first second stood up in unison and started clapping together to a song and to words they knew,\" Malek continued. \"And that's the power of Queen. That's the power of Freddie. It's undeniable.\"
\"I'm a little superstitious but I thought, just looking out into the audience and seeing one Lucy, seeing Bryan Mane, Roger Taylor, Queen and the cast and my family was there as well, that's all the help I needed,\" he said.

He continued, \"I knew no matter what the outcome that I'd be taken care of, no matter what.\"
