The filmmaker took home the award for Best Director during Sunday night’s awards for his incredible biopic, Oppenheimer.
In his speech, he took a moment to pay tribute to Heath who starred as the Joker in his 2008 film The Dark Knight.
He said: “The only time I’ve ever been on this stage before was accepting one of these on behalf of our dear friend, [the late] Heath Ledger, and that was complicated and challenging for me.”
“And in the middle of speaking, I looked down at Robert Downey Jr., [who] caught my eye and gave me a look of support.”
“The same look [he’s] giving me now — the same love and support he showed so many people in your community over the years.”
