During the Golden Globes, host Nikki Glaser provided a mid-show scorecard to assess the trends in acceptance speeches. The tally revealed that cast and crew members were the most thanked, with a total of 11 mentions. Following closely behind were moms, who received three acknowledgments.
However, Glaser humorously noted the absence of any gratitude towards “God, creator of the universe,” quipping about the perceived secular nature of the entertainment industry.
Glaser also highlighted the career resurgences of nominees Pamela Anderson and winner Demi Moore, emphasizing the challenges and stereotypes faced by women over 50 in lead roles. She contrasted this with the relative ease for men in securing roles, joking that they often end up playing younger actresses' boyfriends.
As the first half of the show concluded, Glaser playfully remarked on the lack of progress in selecting a new Pope, referencing the film “Conclave,” which won the award for best screenplay.
Looking ahead, Glaser expressed a hope that moms would receive the most mentions by the end of the night, signifying a collective appreciation for maternal figures.
