Robert Downey Jr. makes EYG history becoming the first actor to receive the Best Supporting Actor twice. He received this award in 2019 for his role as Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame and now he is awarded the Joker/Hannibal Lecter/Mister Miyagi Award for his role as Lewis Strauss. Many believe that RDJ is the front runner for the Oscar, and, if he wins it, he would deserve it. His performance was some of the best work of his career.
