Eddie Redmayne praises Neighbours duo after Oscar win

Eddie Redmayne has spoken out in praise of two Neighbours stars after winning an Oscar.

The Brit won the Best Actor gong at the awards ceremony on Sunday (February 22) for his role in The Theory of Everything.

Speaking to news.com.au, the Brit said he picked up tips by watching Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne - who play Karl and Susan Kennedy - on TV soap Neighbours.

He said: "I think they're amazing. I'm a huge fan of them from old. I've learnt a lot from them from watching them daily."

Other winners at the Oscars included Julianne Moore (Best Actress) and Birdman (Best Picture).

Speaking on stage after collecting his award, Redmayne said:

"Thank you. I don’t think I’m capable of articulating quite how I feel right now. I’m fully aware that I am a lucky, lucky man. This Oscar belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS."
