Opening up about collaborating with his wife, Downey Jr. said, "It is an inside job. I believe that in our own way, we have mountains yet to climb." It was raining awards for Oppenheimer at the Academy Awards as the film bagged seven trophies.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Oscar Win
Robert Downey Jr. picked up the trophy for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards. During his acceptance speech, the actor said, "I'd like to thank my terrible childhood and the Academy, in that order. I'd like to thank my veterinarian—I meant wife—Susan Downey over there. She found me, a snarling rescue pet, and loved me back to life. That's why I am here. Thank you."
He went on to thank the cast and crew of the film, where he mentioned, "Here's my little secret: I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris knew it; Emma made sure she wrapped — surrounded me with one of the greatest cast and crews of all time," he said. "Emily, Cillian, Matt Damon... it was fantastic and I stand here before you a better man because of it. You know, what we do is meaningful, and the stuff that we decide to make is important."
The actor's work and the award were also appreciated by his former co-stars and directors, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeremy Renner, and Jon Favreau.
