Just One Meeting With Robert Downey Jr. Made An Anonymous Oscar Voter Into His Fanboy
Robert Downey Jr. took the world by storm thanks to his role as Lewis Strauss in the critically acclaimed 2023 film Oppenheimer. It also turned out to be one of the best things Downey Jr. ever did as it helped him bag the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor In a Motion Picture.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, a male member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 867-person short films and feature animation branch shared his thoughts on who he voted for in several categories.
The voter mentioned being torn between Mark Ruffalo for Poor Things and Robert Downey Jr. for Oppenheimer regarding the Best Supporting Actor award. The voter revealed a personal interaction with Downey at an awards season party, which influenced their decision.
”I was torn between [Poor Things’] Mark Ruffalo and [Oppenheimer’s] Robert Downey Jr., and even though it’s cheesy I’ll be real with you: I met Downey at an awards season party, we had an interaction that I did not initiate, and it tipped the scales for me. Campaigning matters! (Laughs.) What’s really great about him as an actor, in this film and so many others, is his ability to be believable all the time. I loved watching him turn as the story turned on Strauss.”
The voter emphasized Downey’s ability to be consistently believable and praised his performance in Oppenheimer, especially as the story unfolded with the character of Strauss. The comment also acknowledged the impact of campaigning on awards consideration.
