In his acceptance speech, Farrell thanked makeup artist Michael Marino for helping him undergo the huge physical transformation needed to play Oswald Cobblepot (the Penguin).
“All it took was three hours in the chair in the morning,” Farrell explained. “I drank black coffee, listened to ’80s music, and I became a canvas for that team’s brilliance.”
“I guess it’s prosthetics for here on out,” he added teasingly.
