David Fincher dealt with losing out on a Golden Globe Award in the best way
The celebrated “Mank” director was beaten out in the Best Screenplay category by Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7”.
When the winner was announced, Fincher toasted a shot glass to the camera before downing the contents in one go.

Others believed that the shot was in honour of his late father, Jack Fincher.
