Fraser, who went to high school in Toronto but was born in the United States to Canadian parents, faced tough competition in the best actor category.Earlier in the night Montreal makeup artist Adrien Morot was part of “The Whale” team that won the best makeup and hairstyling prize for helping transform Fraser into the character.
