Avery has been criticized, suspended and even gotten a rule change named for him. But had never been able to break out into the big time.

On Monday the Academy of Arts and Science from awarding Mr. Avery an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Max Talbot in The Penguins vs. New York Rangers. Avery upset odds-on-favorite Jeff Bridges, who many had considered a lock for the award.

Avery, who previously won a Razzie for his portrayal of a hockey player in 2008's Dallas Stars NHL Regular Season, was unavailable for comment after the win as he earned an awards show misconduct after receiving the award for a blind side hit to the head on Dame Judi Dench.
