THE HANGOVER and OLD SCHOOL director Todd Phillips' JOKER starring Joaquin Phoenix was a massive hit at the box-office – as if you didn't already know that. And last night, Phoenix snagged Best Actor at the Golden Globes. Watch out Oscars, here comes Joker, am I right? Hell, yeah!
Phoenix was up aginst Jonathan Pryce for THE TWO POPES, Christian Bale for FORD V FERRARI, Antonio Banderas for PAIN AND GLORY, and Adam Driver for MARRIAGE STORY. Check out the full list of winners HERE. How do YOU feel about Phoenix's JOKER? Let us know below!
The film was slapped with an R rating for "strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language, and brief sexual images." Here's the synopsis:
Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks — the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.

Phoenix's co-stars include Robert De Niro as Murray Franklin, Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond, Frances Conroy as Penny Fleck, Brett Cullen as Thomas Wayne, Douglas Hodge as Alfred Pennyworth, and Dante Pereira-Olson as young Bruce Wayne. JOKER hits Blu-ray on January 7, 2020.
