Christian Bale accepted the award for best actor in a comedy movie for "Vice" at the 24th annual Critics' Choice Awards, while simultaneously questioning the category that the film was placed in.
"I guess time sort of allows it to be considered a comedy, but it's really a tragedy," Bale said of the film, in which he portrays former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The British actor, who came to the United States when he was 17 years old, also called "Vice" a "love story" to the country and expressed grattitude for opportunities he's found in the US.
Last week, Bale thanked Satan for inspiring his performance when he won for the same role at the Golden Globes.
Later in the night, Bale also won best actor overall. His second speech was short and sweet, but he did make a point to dispell the notion that all actors should be in competition, opting instead to call the night a "celebration."
INSIDER's Jason Guerrasio called Bale "astounding" as Cheney and argued he gave "one of the best performances of the year."
