How many Oscars does Robert Downey Jr. have, and how many times has he been nominated for an Oscar?
With his successful career, Robert Downey Jr. is becoming one of modern cinema’s classics. The American actor excels in leading and supporting roles, showing that he does not need to be the face of the production to enhance the quality of the picture overall. This was the case in “Oppenheimer,” where he played a supporting role to Cillian Murphy, who took home the award for lead actor.
Though this was the actor’s first win, he previously received two nominations earlier in his career. The first came in 1993 for Best Actor for his performance in “Chaplin” and the second in 2008 for his supporting role in “Tropic Thunder.”
