    Q. Who played the title role in the 95 film that won the oscar for best picture. (won the oscar in 95 also)

    HERE'S A LONG SHOT

    Angus Macfadyen plays Robert the Bruce , It is this character that narrates the story , a claim supported by John Gay in his article " why the main character in braveheart is not William Wallace "

    PS NEVER SAY HE WON OSCAR

    I have already said the film was braveheart (which won best picture), I never mentioned best actor or suggested they did.
    Mel Gibson played the lead character, not the title character.

    Right answer, wrong reason. But you still get the points.:D

    William Wallace is the main character as the story is based around his life. The title character was Braveheart, (as in who played braveheart?). But its is a common misconception that "Braveheart" is a nickname for Wallace. Not true, Braveheart is a reference to Robert De Bruce, and his death. Hense De Bruce was the title character (not because he was narrator, but because Braveheart is a reference to him that dates back to his death)


    ps, I never said he won an oscar. I said the film did.
