Actor Lesley Manville has said that she is not "sour-faced" after her ex-husband Gary Oldman's Best Actor win at the Academy Awards 2018.

Manville, who was married to Oldman from 1987 to 1990, said their night at the Oscars felt like a "family evening".

"Of course, everyone wants the story that I'm sour-faced about it. But I'm not remotely sour-faced. Listen, we have a child together, we're a very successful family... he's got a new wife, and we all get on. Everyone gets on," Manville told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

"So it's all fine. So we've had a delightful night. His sons from his other partner and my son are all very close, so it's a family evening. And that's what it's felt like. And Gary and I are friends, so it's been very good and been very nice for our son, I think," she added.
