Actors Whoopi Goldberg and Terry Crews , directors Darren Aronofsky and Ron Howard , as well as Ai n't It Cool News website creator Harry Knowles have also publicly defended Bale 's actions . Some have noted that it is customary for crew members to remain still while the camera is rolling . Experimental band The Mae Shi wrote the song , " R U Professional " , which features samples from the recording ; similarly , Lucian Piane 's remix " Bale Out " is composed almost entirely of audio from the incident . Stephen Colbert parodied the incident on the 4 February 2009 episode of '' The Colbert Report '' , in which guest Steve Martin repeatedly walked in front of the camera and was berated by Colbert . The incident was re-enacted on '' Late Night with Conan O'Brien '' , with '' Inside the Actor 's Studio '' host James Lipton portraying both Bale and the crew member . The " Oh , goooood for you ! " sound bite has become a regular drop from Fred Norris of '' The Howard Stern Show '' . Bale made a public apology on 6 February 2009 , to a Los Angeles radio station , KROQ , stating that the outburst was " inexcusable " and was motivated by the intensity of that day 's shooting . Bale said he " acted like a punk " , and that he and Hurlbut talked after the incident and " resolved this completely " . Bale acknowledged that the two worked together for several hours after the incident . He said , " at least a month after that ... I 've seen a rough cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful job . It looks fantastic . " Bale starred alongside Mark Wahlberg in David O. Russell 's 2010 drama film '' The Fighter '' . Bale 's portrayal of Dicky Eklund , for which he lost , was universally acclaimed : he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor , the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and 30 other awards in 2011 for the performance . Near the end of his acceptance speech during the televised Golden Globes awards ceremony , Bale complimented Robert De Niro by saying he was " the shit " . The comment was censored by NBC . In December 2010 , it was announced that Bale would star in the historical drama war film , '' The Flowers of War '' , directed by Zhang Yimou . While filming '' The Flowers of War '' in January 2011 , Bale and a CNN crew attempted to visit Chen Guangcheng , a blind " barefoot lawyer " under unofficial house arrest for his activism against China 's One Child Policy . While on camera , Bale was punched , shoved , and denied access by dozens of Chinese security guards who failed to recognise him . Bale later added that he had wanted " to meet the man , shake his hand and say what an inspiration he is " . Video footage also showed Bale and the CNN crew having stones thrown at them .
