Christian Bale won Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Fighter and while the British star was having a great night, he didn't forget to point out to Robert De Niro about his greatness.

Bale's appearance was notable, as the usually well preserved and immaculate Batman Star looked scruffy and unwashed. The actor joked about his appearance that it symbolized his unemployment, as he had not made any movies since 'The Fighter'.

What was more intriguing was his speech about Robert De Niro, which got cut off by the music.

Bale was vocal about his support for Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall backstage, telling reporters "I just told him he's the sh**. You see an actor of that caliber and Robert Duvall. I don't know if he's here those guys are the sh**."
