Whereas accepting the award for Greatest Supporting Actor for his position in Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. delivered a speech filled with darkish humor and emotion.
“I might wish to thank my horrible childhood and the Academy, in that order,” he stated. “I might wish to thank … my spouse, Susan Downey, over there. She discovered me a snarling rescue pet and cherished me again to life. That is why I am right here. Thanks.”
Downey thanked a couple of different members of his crew as effectively, together with his stylist and “leisure lawyer of 40 years.”
“Half of which he spent making an attempt to get me insured and bailing me out of the hoosgow. … Thanks, bro,” he stated.
