Christian Bale with wife Sandra Blazic (Getty Images) After a big win Sunday night, it looks like Christian Bale is on track to win an Academy Award for his portrayal of Dicky Eklund in the awards season powerhouse The Fighter. The role won him the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday and on Friday he was awarded the Critics' Choice Award for the same category.Christian thanked co-star Mark Wahlberg and his wife and daughter during a speech that went over its time limit before he was cut off for the commercial break. For his role in The Fighter, Christian lost weight and shaved his head after spending time with the real life Dicky to prepare for the part. He and Wahlberg immersed themselves in the world of brothers Mickey and Dicky before filming the movie, and both brothers were involved in the production.
This was the first time Bale had been nominated for a Golden Globe, and he's never been nominated for an Oscar. Look for that streak to end when the Oscar nominees are named on January 25th.
