Christian Bale made sure to make room for someone unexpected in his Golden Globesacceptance speech: Satan.

Accepting the award for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his role as Dick Cheney in “Vice,” the actor thanked his wife, Sandra, the film’s director, Adam McKay, and the devil himself.

“Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role,” Bale said, an impish smile breaking out across his face.

He also hinted he might not be done playing Republican politicians just yet.

“What’d you think, Mitch McConnell next?” he told the whooping crowd at the Beverly Hilton. “That could be good.”
