Robert Downey Jr. Reacts to Oscar Nomination for Role in 'Oppenheimer' | The View

[@CristianaQuaranta]

he deserved the Oscar already in 1993 and he absolutely deserves it this year🖤 SO PROUD OF HIM

[@javiruiz8365]

Nobody deserves anything!

[@elenadowneyjr]

Assolutamente SI!!! RDJ merita l'Oscar, se lo è guadagnato !!!! ❤❤❤

[@AndrejStanic]

RDJ can be proud of himself. Or people who actually know him can be proud of him. You, a random person, don't have any leverage and legitimate ground to be proud of him. You can just root for him. But that's not the same.

[@CristianaQuaranta]

@@AndrejStanicyou, a random person, can't tell me who I can be proud of or not 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@AndrejStanic]

@@CristianaQuaranta I can actually, because I did ;-) But you can choose to ignore a friendly encouragement to be mindful of what you say (which, based on your reply, I presume is precisely what you will do) because saying you're proud of a person you've never met is somewhat ridiculous and plenty presumptuous. Also, if a random person were to say to me they were proud of me for something I did, I'd definitely find it super weird and upsetting, I'd kind of appreciate their well-intended gesture but I'd also be thinking to myself "who the F are you to be proud of ME?! I get to do that, not you. You can say that something I did is nice or that you like it but you can't say you're proud of me FFS, because you don't even know me, my past or my present so you can't possibly know if the thing you want to be proud of me for was actually a challenge for me or if it was just something random I did but you really liked it. Your opinion is irrelevant, I don't even know you and it's freaking me out that you presume I want to hear your opinion on me in regards to something you have ABSOLUTELY no right to judge me by any merit because it's not yours to judge, but mine. So buzz off and instead of me, be proud of yourself or whoever the F ever needs external validation of complete strangers.

Imagine a group chat with RDJ, Emily Blunt, Chris Nolan and Cillian Murphy. Now that's a group chat I'd love to be invited to.

[@KP-zd3hc]

Oh. I can imagine. C.Murph probably doesn’t say anything. It’s just ‘read’.

[@Vylkeer]

What a brilliant scene from Soapdish! Well done, Whoopi! And huge congrats to Robert Downey Jr, one of the greatest actors ever.

[@kevlow9494]

That was a great scene 😊

[@rdjsweeps]

so proud of him!! he deserves this more than anyone🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@user-ms3jz7ub7n]

RDJ should have won the Oscar for Chaplin in 1992. It's incredible how he managed to transform his life.

[@MothGirl007]

He was amazing in that movie.

[@GeneralZod1991]

he was amazing in chaplin but sorry...he had to go against Mr.pacino and Mr. Eastwood , and Denzel too... so yeah..its tough..but Pacino deserves more..

[@thelevisullivan]

@@GeneralZod1991Even RDJ has said that Pacino was phenomenal in Scent of a Woman and had waited long enough for an Oscar.

[@blackgrlfly]

Over who? Like yall just say anything "I like this actor so he deserves to win" meanwhile you haven't seen all the other performances. No one deserves anything. Leonardo lost for years before he won and he's far better an actor.

[@redlightmax]

@@thelevisullivan "...and had waited long enough for an Oscar." That's just it - it was Pacino's eighth Oscar nomination, and after seven losses the Academy figured that they better give it to him. RDJ was being polite - he's not gonna say that Pacino robbed him.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love robert downey jr

[@totallyshahaad]

He deserves his Oscar nominations so much ❤❤❤

[@dominique217]

Who knew that crazy kid from Weird Science would become this brilliant actor? He's amazing. Good for him. 👏🏽🎉

[@g-girlmail6652]

Thanks for the Weird Science reference 😁!

[@josephjasem7926]

Amadeus is my favorite movie of all time, and RDJ truly delivered a Salieri esque performance.

[@amiiae]

Robert is so good at expressing the emotions and thoughts of his characters without dialogues. He can pull the audience in the movies. His acting was spectacular in this movie, as the antagonist. His performance was magical in this movie, it couldn't have been better and no actor could have played this role better than Robert. I've watched his movies ever since I was a child, he was my childhood. To see him improve and get a great, big role like this couldn't have been better. He is an amazing actor and an amazing man, he definitely deserves this nomination. Congrats on your nomination! Fingers crossed 🤞

[@jorgemelendez377]

Robert never forgets the lesson from Warren Beatty: what is your action? He always go back to his action and focuses on it so uniquely.

[@herschelschueler]

This man better get that Oscar, his performance was breathtaking.

[@ccraisins2005]

For a californian who was born in NYC he sure uses 'yall' a lot, and as a southern I love to hear it. LOL

[@alifc1082]

Whoppi and Robert are some of the first actors I came across, love and never forget their performances. I was about 10 when we started to see more American movies, (early 90s after an isolating dictatorship), but yes it might be that Robert Downey's performance in Chaplin was my first "present day" star( not from classical movies.. ) the actor I would know the name, recognize the face and always keen to see him again. I haven't seen this one, not yet, as I was not keen of a movie that might portray Oppenheimer and the entire operation like an eroic fact. Not sure that I'd the case, but that was the impression as in the promotion of the movie it looked like an omagiation of his success Maybe one of this days, as a lover of good performances

[@norangiesuarez3570]

It's beautiful!!! Because he says stop in your condition. I loved 😍 ♥️ ❤️ PuertoRico fans!!!!!

[@LizzyMcD]

Whoopi❤❤❤ I am so obsessed with her authenticity

[@jellybean8347]

Love RDJ

[@phillipsprangiii3112]

I remembered Whoopie's first days on the comedy circuit. Hey, most revered and beloved Queen: remember the Other Cafe doin' nights with Robin Williams and Bobcat Goldthwaite!?...I was the guy that built the dressing rooms under that little balcony for Richard and Bob...ah, Cole valley...once waited for the N Judah with Danny Glover, who was aggressively reading the chronicle, like some pulpy talisman warding off an admirer. All he gave me was a grumpy side-eye. I prudently kept my mouth shut. Now look at you. Triple Bravo!

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

Probably the easiest Oscar win to predict.

[@hugostiglitzracing866]

he deserves it 1000% I'm also hoping Nolan finally gets the oscar he's deserved for the past 20 years.

[@ericinla65]

HE DESERVED AN OSCAR for playing Iron Man

I hope he wins! For Iron Man, Ally McBeal as well as this I guess.

[@clairemendoza8082]

I did love the movie. Saw it with my mom but I feel like Killers of the Flower Moon 🌙 is being overlooked. Oppenheimer has had more than enough media attention. Lovely movie but I hope Lily Gladstone wins. ❤️❤️🙏

Omg that what I said about Lewis Strauss! his character totally gave me Salieri vibes.

Soapdish was a good movie back then I actually remember that movie because you guys were Zaney and that was kind of nice.

Wrong Whoopi, I loved this movie from the first time I saw it. I own the dvd and love it every time I watch it!

[@JRPete]

Every solo RDJ stage presentation after Iron Man 2 now seems like a STARK EXP🌐

[@kawaiiafangirl]

The 1993 Oscar race was competitive. Most believe that Pacino had 3 or more better performances than his work in Scent of a Woman but was given the award bc it was overdue and bc it was a makeup for his 70s losses. Even if Downey hadn't won, Denzel for his work in Malcolm X was equally deserving as well.

[@kingcobrarules8117]

I love it when people gush over Whoopie, what a important person.

Got tired of Bat Man, he opted to go with Iron Man to blow up the screens. :D The best movie of 2023 period.

Really don't like how they're still doing these remote interviews post-pandemic. This format is really not conducive to a talk show with multiple speakers. I can understand if they're covering a live event on the ground but if you're just there to promote a movie - there's no shortage of people with projects to promote - just show up.

@@Ksu_The_Volunteer Barbie ( a film about a doll) is amusement too, but people keep talking about how it goes so hard on patriarchy. I’m thinking if Oppenheimer has such little impact in the real world (when there are multiple wars being waged) maybe Barbie is the better movie.
