10 Most Insane Things Happening In Movies & TV Right Now (Jan 11th)

1. HAIL SATAN!

Vice Christian Bale
Annapurna

It might have been pretty divisive among critics, but Vice has a Christian Bale method performance as a string to its bow and that's always good enough for a fair bit of awards attention.

The man of a thousand faces and voices is apparently superb as Dick Cheney and he saw his reward in thee form of a Golden Globe for Best Male Performance of the year. Naturally, he celebrated as any normal actor would by standing in front of the amassed crowd - all presumably eating sandwiches that smelled a little of Melissa McCarthy - and offering his thanks to our Dark Lord, Satan.

Naturally, that went down like a tin of lead balloons - or like a man thanking Satan at an awards ceremony - and lots of people were unimpressed, including Cheney's own daughter. But he did find new friends in the shape of the Church Of Satan who shared the following response:

“To us, Satan is a symbol of pride, liberty and individualism, and it serves as an external metaphorical projection of our highest personal potential. As Mr Bale’s own talent and skill won him the award, this is fitting. Hail Christian! Hail Satan!”

All completely normal.
