“Green Book”has won the most important award of the 91th edition of the Oscars– the award for best picture. The movie, which includes Bulgarian actor Dimitar Marinov also won an Oscar for its original script. At the ceremony Marinov waved the Bulgarian flag.

The Green Book takes viewers to the early 1960s as a trio of musicians roam the US Deep South in an attempt to eradicate prejudice towards people of color. Marinov plays the role of Russian cellist Oleg. During the first casting for the film, Marinov got a refusal because he was "too lean". A month and a half later he was invited for a second casting that was to come in five days, but this time he had to play the cello. "After 4 days of playing 5-6 hours a dayat home, my wife almost wanted to divorce me," Marinov recalls. The subsequent second casting proved to be successful for the actor.
