Stage and screen star Andrew Scott has won the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, for his performance as iconic Broadway composer Richard Rodgers in Blue Moon. The news was reported by Variety.

The film, which debuted February 18, depicts the final days of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, Rodgers' primary collaborator before his groundbreaking partnership with Oscar Hammerstein II. See what critics are saying about the film here.

The film mostly takes place on the 1943 opening night of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! The show would revolutionize the art form of musical theatre and establish Rodgers and Hammerstein as one of Broadway's most influential and lucrative writing teams. The trouble is before Oklahoma!, Rodgers had primarily been half of Rodgers and Hart, a partnership that produced 28 stage musicals (including On Your Toes and Pal Joey) and such standards as "Blue Moon," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "My Funny Valentine," and "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." By 1943, Hart's alcoholism had sent Rodgers looking for new collaborators, and Hart would see an untimely death just months later.

Blue Moon stars Ethan Hawke as Hart, with Margaret Qualley as Elizabeth Weiland, Bobby Cannavale as Eddie, Scott as Rodgers, Jonah Lees as Knuckles, Simon Delaney as Hammerstein, and Cillian Sullivan as Stevie. Robert Kaplow wrote the screenplay, with Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Merrily We Roll Along) directing.

A wide release is expected in May.
