Although Robert Downey Jr. has won many awards, including four Golden Globes, he had to wait many years for his first statuette from the American Film Academy. The first chance for an Oscar for an actor appeared almost thirty years ago, because in 1992 he received a nomination for his leading role in “Charlie”. In 2009, he was nominated for the second time in the “Best Supporting Actor” category for his role in “Tropic Eggs”.
Depp congratulated Downey Jr. winning an Oscar. Internet users are ruthless towards him
Every actor’s dream came true for him last Sunday. According to many, the Oscar in the “Best Supporting Actor” category for his role as the vengeful Lewis Strauss in “Oppenheimer” was the best choice for Downey Jr. deserved. Many stars also share this opinion, as evidenced by numerous congratulations to the 58-year-old actor. His colleague Johnny Depp paid special tribute.
Men have been maintaining friendly relations with each other for years, which should not be a secret to anyone. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star published a photoshopped photo from 1988 of Downey Jr. on social media. supposedly includes Depp. However, clever fans noticed that the photo was actually Sarah Jessica Parker, who was Downey Jr.’s wife from 1984 to 1991.

The last time such a chance appeared in 2007, when he appeared among those selected for the award in the “Best Actor in a Leading Role” category for his role in the musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”.
