Accepting the awards, Christopher Nolan said, "Thank you, Golden Globes. The only time I've ever been on the stage before was accepting one of these on behalf of our dear friend Heath Ledger. And that was complicated and, and challenging for me. And in the middle of speaking, I glanced up and Robert Downey Junior caught my eye and gave me a look of love and support the same look he's giving me now the same love and support. He's shown so many people and in our community over so many years. So, I thought it'd be simpler accepting for myself."
