Oscar 2013: Christoph Waltz wins Supporting Actor for Django Unchained

Christoph Waltz on Sunday won his second Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in four years under the direction of Quentin Tarantino, this time as a German bounty hunter in the slave revenge tale Django Unchained.

"We participated in a hero's journey, the hero here being Quentin," a choked up Waltz said as he accepted his award.

The Austrian actor first burst into Hollywood as a charming yet evil Nazi colonel in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, and walked away with the Academy's supporting statuette in 2010.

Waltz's win gives him an enviable career record of two Oscars for two nominations. He also prevailed this year over veteran Hollywood names like Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones and clinched a nomination while Django co-stars Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio did not.

Until he was introduced to Tarantino, the 56-year-old son of set designers worked for 30 years mostly in German theater, TV and film, while attempts to cross into English-language production proved unsuccessful.

In Django, Waltz plays the German immigrant dentist-turned-bounty-hunter Dr. King Schultz who pairs up with Foxx's freed slave Django to track down and kill outlaws and then rescue Django's enslaved wife.

This month Waltz stirred up controversy as a guest on comedy showSaturday Night Live, playing Djesus Uncrossed in a spoof of Tarantino's trademark bloody films.

"No more mister nice Jesus," he said, wearing a white robe and holding a machine gun.

Best Foreign Language Film - Amour

Best Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz

Best Animated Feature - Brave

HOLLYWOOD - Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won the best supporting actor Oscar on Sunday for his role as a dentist turned bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino's blood-spattered western "Django Unchained."

In the first prize of the night, Waltz beat fellow nominees Alan Arkin for "Argo," Robert De Niro for "Silver Linings Playbook," Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master" and Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln."

The award was the 56-year-old's second Oscar, after he won best supporting actor in 2010, also with Tarantino, as devilish Nazi officer Hans Landa in Nazi-hunting film "Inglourious Basterds."

In his acceptance speech, Waltz, barely known outside the German-speaking world before his first film with Tarantino, thanked the director who draws criticism for the over-the-top violence in his movies.

"We've participated in a hero's journey, the hero here being Quentin. You scaled the mountain because you're not afraid of it," he told the director, seated in the Dolby Theatre for the 85th Academy Awards.

"You slay the dragon because you're not afraid of it, and you cross through fire because it's worth it. I borrowed my character's words. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. Thank you."
