In 1992, he starred as Count Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's romance-horror "Bram Stoker's Dracula". A commercially successful film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, it was a box office success worldwide. Oldman's performance was recognised as the best male performance of 1992 by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy &amp; Horror Films, which awarded Oldman its Best Actor award. He served as a member of the Jury at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival. Oldman became a popular portrayer of villains: he played violent pimp Drexl Spivey in the Tony Scott-directed, Quentin Tarantino-written "True Romance" (1993), a role which MSN Movies described as "one of cinema's most memorable villains"; a sadistic prison warden in "Murder in the First" (1995); futuristic corporate tyrant Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in "The Fifth Element" (1997); and Dr. Zachary Smith/Spider Smith in the commercially successful but critically panned "Lost in Space" (1998). He was considered for two roles in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" (1994), but neither were realised. Tarantino contemplated Oldman as gangster Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel L. Jackson), while TriStar executives recommended him for drug dealer Lance (portrayed by Eric Stoltz).
