London, Feb 19 The award for best supporting actor went to Robert Downey, Jr for his role in 'Oppenheimer', making it the third win of the night for the biopic of the father of the atomic bomb, reports BBC.

This was the fourth award of the night for 'Oppenheimer', the others being for best editing, best cinematography and best original score.

He was up against Robert De Niro ('Killers of the Flower Moon'), Jacob Elordi ('Saltburn'), Ryan Gosling ('Barbie'), Paul Mescal ('All of Us Strangers') and Dominic Sessa ('The Holdovers').

The trophy for the best supporting actress, meanwhile, went to Da'Vine Joy Randolph for her role in 'The Holdovers', the American comedy drama directed by Alexander Payne.
