Jeff Bridges arrived at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood on 7 March 2010 as the odds-on favorite to win Best Actor, according to ABC News. The category marked his fifth Oscar nomination, this time for playing the washed-up country singer "Bad Blake" in Crazy Heart, as CBS News reported at the time.
Michelle Pfeiffer presented the award and spoke about Bridges before he stepped up to receive it, according to Series & TV. NPR confirmed he won the Best Actor Oscar for Crazy Heart that night, the first competitive Oscar of his career.
Bridges wore a Gucci suit for the occasion, as Just Jared reported, and was supported at the ceremony by his wife, Susan Geston. The accompanying image, taken at the 82nd Academy Awards, shows him holding the Oscar following his win.
