In 2010 , he was awarded Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his performance in '' Biutiful '' directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu , who specifically wrote the film with Bardem in mind . After being overlooked by the Globes and SAG , Bardem was the unexpected Oscar nominee on 25 January 2011 , becoming the first all Spanish-language Best Actor nominee ever . He won his 5th Goya Award , this time for Best Actor in '' Biutiful '' , dedicating the win to his wife , Penélope Cruz , and newborn son . Around this same time he was offered the lead role of " Gunslinger " Roland Deschain in Ron Howard 's adaptation of Stephen King 's Dark Tower novels . If he had signed , he would have starred in the TV series as well . Then Eon Productions offered him a role as villain Raoul Silva in the James Bond film , '' Skyfall '' . With Universal deciding not to go forward with the ultra-ambitious adaptation of the Stephen King 7-novel series , and to end months of speculation , Bardem officially confirmed his role in '' Skyfall '' during an interview with Christiane Amanpour for ABC 's '' Nightline ''
