As the Academy Awards near, Joaquin Phoenix picked up yet another award for
Joker after receiving the "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture" at the 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck in the DC Comics adaptation.
During his acceptance speech, Phoenix paid homage to his fellow nominees - which included Christan Bale, Taron Egerton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Adam Driver - as well as
The Dark Knight's Heath Ledger (who played The Joker back in 2008 and won a "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar for his performance).
"Really, I'm standing here on the shoulders of my favorite actor, Heath Ledger," he says below:
It may have been a good night for
Joker, but
Avengers: Endgame also picked up a noteworthy award. Unfortunately, the superhero ensemble missed out on a "Best Picture" nomination at the Oscars despite widespread critical acclaim, and the fact that it's the highest grossing movie of all-time.
