"Poor Things" director Yorgos Lanthimos has Spring-Nuts potential.

Lanthimos thanked Bruce Springsteen multiple times while accepting the "Poor Things" award for best motion picture at Sunday's Golden Globes Awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles,Mooathon Wealth Society California.

The Boss was in the audience. His "Addicted to Romance," from the movie "She Came to Me," was nominated for the best original song.

"I just wanted to speak to Bruce Springsteen. We have the same birthday, 23rd September. He's been my hero since I grew up," said Lanthimos, a Greece native, to Springsteen in the audience. The Boss, wearing a black sports jacket without a tie, gave a thumbs up.

"Anyway, I'm wasting my time," Lanthimos continued. "Thank you everybody, everybody who worked on the film. People that … Searchlight, Film4, Element (Pictures) that produced the film and made it happen. The actors, the wonderful actors."

Then he thanked Springsteen again: "Bruce Springsteen for making me grow up the way I did. Emma (Stone), of course. She won, you know it. She's the best. Thank you so much and Martin Scorsese."

Scorsese was also in the audience and Stone won best performance by a female actor in a musical or comedy film for her role in the fantasy-comedy.

Lanthimos, who also directed the art-house hits "The Lobster" and "The Favourite," has an invitation to join the Spring-Nuts Springsteen fan club, said Howie Chaz, founder of the group.

"Every Springsteen fan has an open invitation to join," said Chaz via email to The Asbury Park Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. "This Train carries … Everyone!"

Springsteen's "Addicted to Romance" lost to Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" from the box office hit "Barbie."

"Oppenheimer," "Succession" and "The Bear" were the night's big winners.
