Downey, incidentally, won for his turn as the nefariously motivated Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, while De Niro was nominated for his performance as the nefariously motivated William King Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon both real people portrayed in a three-hour film ripped from a gripping nonfiction bestseller.
De Niro-who won his sole Globe out of 10 nominations in 1981, best actor for Raging Bull, and was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in 2011-was, however, the target of one of host Jo Koy’s most risqué zingers in his monologue, the comedian quipping about the two-time Oscar winner, “Your last performance has got to be your greatest performance ever. How’d you get her pregnant at 80?”
The star, while 80 now, was 79 when his seventh child was born, but who’s counting?
Downey was accepting his third Golden Globe, though he self-deprecatingly called it his “most improved player” honor rather than admit it was a well-deserved achievement that just may precede his first-ever Oscar win. Courtesy e! News “I took a beta blocker, so this is gonna be a breeze,” he cracked at the top of his speech, marveling over Oppenheimer’s billion-dollar showing at the box office, calling the epic a “goddamn masterpiece.”
Noting how he had received rave reviews for his turn as an “unrecognizably subtle Lewis Strauss,” Downey added, “to my fellow nominees, let’s not pretend this is a compliment.” And for the record, De Niro was smiling along with the rest of the amused crowd.
