Robert Downey Jr. has won his first Oscar on his third nomination. He takes home the gong for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Lewis Strauss in "Oppenheimer." Here's more from IndieWire.
A fun fact from The Wrap: Robert Downey Jr. is the first SNL cast member to win an Oscar — he had a one-season run in 1985 before getting the boot. His castmates included Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Joan Cusack and Anthony Michael Hall.
''I felt so exposed after being in the cocoon of Marvel where I think I did think I did some of the best work I will ever do, but it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre''
“It’s difficult not to fizz with excitement about this one. The Sympathizer is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s incredible Pulitzer-winner novel, about a Vietnamese spy sent to America, and is directed by Park Chan Wook. Better yet, it stars Robert Downey Jr who seems gripped by a burning desire to remind the world that he can act the pants off anybody alive.”
Having gotten thoroughly sick of the first trailer thanks to my local theater, going to get ready for the new #Wonka trailer to do that too. (Also it's kinda giving me #Dolittle vibes. As in, the #RobertDowneyJr one riiiight before the pandemic that bombed so hard you've forgotten until now.)
What are you watching tonight?

1985 Mussolini promo
.
This 7 hour mini-series is based on the memories of Vittorio Mussolini, the oldest son of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The film opens in 1922 as Mussolini gathers his power through the use of his Black Shirt militia. Promoting himself as Caesar reincarnate, Il Duce gains a national fervor that peaks after the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935.
