Christian Bale finally recognized!

I'm proud to say that I've been a fan of Bale for quite some time and all of the buzz for The Fighter has exceeded my expectations.  During the summer of 2009 Bale was cast as Dicky Eklund (Boxer who fought Sugar Ray Leonard in his early years) and from reading the real life story of Dicky and Irish Micky Ward I knew that this movie was going to rock the awards.  Now fast forward to January 2011 and Bale wins for best supporting actor at the Golden Globes!  He's been a front runner for the Oscar months before The Fighter was released on December 17.  All hail Bale!  It's his time to shine finally!
