Robert Downey Jr. is finally an Oscar winner. The 58-year-old “Oppenheimer” star took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the 96th Academy Awardslive from the Dolby Theater in LA on Sunday.
Downey portrayed Lewis Strauss in the Christopher Nolan-directed film: a businessman who played a big role in the development of the atomic bomb and later became a political rival of J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy).“Oppenheimer” led the 2024 Oscar nominations with 13 nods, followed by “Poor Things” with 11. The film’s box office rival, “Barbie,” was up for eight golden statues.
Downey is a two-time Oscar nominee, losing his first Best Actor nod for “Chaplin” to Al Pacino for “Scent of a Woman” in 1993. In a January appearance on “The View,” Downey, who famously served jail time for drugs over the course of several years after his initial nomination, said that he was glad he lost the award because it would’ve given him a false sense of success. “I was young and crazy,” he said, adding that an Oscar win at 28 years old “would have put me under the impression that I was on the right track.”He received a second Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor for “Tropic Thunder” in 2009, making “Oppenheimer” his third nod.
The 2024 award season has come in abundance for the Marvel actor. First, he scored a Golden Globe for “Oppenheimer,” praising his wife and “primary caregiver” Susan, 50, in his acceptance speech.“[She] literally made an art out of extracting me from my comfort zone,” he said at the time. “But she’s easy on the eyes, so whatevs.”He also won for at the SAG Awards, joking onstage, “Unlike my fellow nominees, I will never grow tired from the sound of my own voice.”He again used the platform to shoutout Susan.
