Golden Globes Host Jokes That None Of The Winners Thank God
Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser made a joke halfway through the show on Sunday, pointing out that none of the night’s winners had thanked God for their award.
“So much has already happened in the first half, and the acceptance speeches have been on fire. Who got shouted out the most? Let’s look at the numbers,” she said as the screen in the venue changed into a scoreboard.
The comedian gestured to a visual representation of who had been thanked and who hadn’t.
“All right, cast and crew are leading the way with 11 mentions,” Glaser told the assembled celebrities. “Moms are holding strong with three shoutouts. God, creator of the universe, with zero mentions.”
The audience started laughing, and the show’s host went on, saying, “Mario Lopez, host of ‘Access Hollywood,’ one.”
“No surprise in this godless town,” Glaser deadpanned.
The 40-year-old stand-up comedian is being praised for her performance, particularly for the way she poked fun at some of the Hollywood A-listers in the audience.
“I am not here to roast you tonight,” Glaser told the crowd during her opening monologue. “I want you to know that. How could I, really? You are all so famous. So talented.”
“So powerful,” she went on. “I mean you could really do anything. I mean except tell the country who to vote for. But it’s okay, you will get them next time. If there is one. I’m scared.”
Glaser also made jokes about Ozempic and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently charged with sexual assault and is currently in a federal jail awaiting his trial.

“[‘Challengers’] was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,” the comedian said during her monologue. “I know… I’m upset, too. The after-party isn’t going to be as good this year, but we have to move on.” Glaser then joked, “Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it,” adding, “No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”
While the elites ignored God during their speeches, actor Colin Farrell is being praised for thanking a member of craft services by name.
The actor began his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Mini Series or Motion Picture for TV by joking, “No one to thank on this one; I did it all by myself.”
He went on to name many people he worked with on “The Penguin.” Farrell seemed to wrap up his speech after thanking the Golden Globes and anyone else he forgot, before he piped up, “Oh! Craft service, our great dame!”
The crowd started laughing at him for thanking the team that provides food and drink to the crew, but Farrell made it clear he was being serious.
“No, no, Carolina, on those cold winter nights in New York when I was the only one overheating,” he said. “She’d be there with a coconut water every half hour. Carolina, God bless you — she kept the whole crew going; she’s craft service.”
The actor got a lot of positive reactions on social media for the speech.
“Colin Farrell thanking Carolina in crafts services and her thoughtfulness in his #GoldenGlobes acceptance speech is your wholesome moment of the evening,” one popular tweet says.
“I don’t think I’ve heard an actor thank craft services in a speech EVER what a man,” another person wrote.
A third viewer agreed, “Carolina is somewhere absolutely floating tonight.”
