"Congratulations to Cillian [Murphy]’s costar Robert Downey Jr.This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.’s long and illustrious career. Well, one of the highest points," Kimmel said.
Downey played along with the joke and pointed toward his nose while his Oppenheimer co-star Emily Blunt tried to console him by rubbing his shoulders.
"Was it too on the nose or was that a drug motion you made?" Kimmel added.
