00:00 We're talking about you, Robert De Niro.
00:02 During the January 7th broadcast of the 2024 Golden Globe Awards,
00:07 the iconic actor who was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor in a Movie category
00:12 thought his name was being called as the winner.
00:15 But that's what happens when you share the same first name with the winner,
00:19 Robert Downey Jr., who starred in one of the most acclaimed films of the year, Oppenheimer.
00:26 Robert Downey Jr. won for his role as Louis Strauss in the film, while our other favorite,
00:31 Robert, was nominated for his performance as William King Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon.
00:37 But that wasn't the only time eyes were on De Niro at the 2024 Golden Globes.
00:41 He was also the target of one of Joe Coy's most risqué jokes of the night
00:46 when he was called out in his monologue for having a kid at 80.
00:50 I'm a fan. I'm fanning out. I love you, Robert.
00:55 Okay, if it's awkward, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I had to do that in front of you. I know it sucks.
01:00 I'm a bit awestruck. This guy's amazing. Decade after decade, he just kills it every single time.
01:06 I don't know how you do it, man. I swear to God.
01:09 Your last performance is gonna be your greatest performance ever.
01:12 How'd you get her pregnant at 80?
01:14 CGI! CGI!
01:20 The star, who was now 80, had his 7th child only last year at 79 with girlfriend Tiffany Chen,
01:27 who was also in attendance. However, both seemed in great spirits last night,
01:32 and their reaction to the joke was priceless.
01:35 Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr. accepted his third Golden Globe,
01:38 and he didn't hold back in his acceptance speech.
01:41 Yeah, yeah.
01:44 I took a beta blocker, so this is gonna be a breeze.
01:49 [laughter]
01:53 A sweeping story about the ethical dilemma of nuclear weapons grosses $1 billion.
02:00 Is that track? No.
02:02 Unless, and but because, Universal went all in on Christopher Nolan to direct
02:11 Cillian Murphy with Emma Thomas producing with Emily and Florence and this cast and crew
02:20 and help them render a goddamn masterpiece.
02:23 See, that's not such a leap.
02:27 Dozens of folks have come up to me since the summertime saying that I was, I quote,
02:34 "unrecognizably subtle" as Leonard Strauss.
02:38 To my fellow nominees, let's not pretend this is a compliment.
02:42 This is a first time. This is more of a most improved player thing.
02:47 For my dueling career counsels Raskin and Dunlap,
02:52 they had the gall to say that I needed to restart my career.
02:56 It's so fun proving agents right.
02:58 And speaking of motivators, my primary caregiver right there, Susan Downey.
03:05 She has literally made an art out of extracting me from my comfort zones that I need to feel safe.
03:12 But she's easy on the eyes, so whatevs.
03:17 And lastly, Golden Globes journalists.
03:21 Thanks for changing your game, therefore changing your name.
03:25 Salute.
03:26 [applause]
