Bale Thanks 'Satan' After Winning At Golden Globe

Christian Bale thanked an unexpected entity when he accepted the Golden Globe for his role as Dick Cheney in the film Vice.

'Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration for playing this role,' he said of his Dick Cheney character in an apparent snub to the former vice president. 

The political satire shows an unrecognizable Bale as Cheney, depicting the former second-in-command as the ruthless mastermind behind George W Bush's presidency, which has gotten the film large criticism by conservatives. 

And it wasn't just what Bale said in his speech that sent social media ablaze - but how he said it, with viewers gushing over his strong British accent.
