Actor Christian Bale decided to celebrate his 42nd birthday by taking in a USC basketball game.

Bale watched the Trojans take on Washington at the Galen Center prior to getting ready for the Screen Actor Guild Awards Saturday evening.

Bale is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in the movie "The Big Short."

The award show takes place at the Shrine Auditorium, which is across the street from where the Trojans play.
