During the recent Golden Globes ceremony, host Nikki Glaser kicked off the evening by humorously declaring she wouldn't be roasting any of the actors present. However, she quickly veered from her initial statement and proceeded to deliver a series of lighthearted jabs at both nominees and attendees.
One of the highlights of Glaser's monologue was her playful reference to the viral 'holding space' moment involving Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Tracy Gilchrist. In a witty remark, Glaser expressed her apprehension about the current political climate and humorously asked Grande to 'hold my finger.'
The comedian didn't spare double nominee Selena Gomez, poking fun at her fiancé Benny Blanco by joking that he must have been granted a wish by a genie. She also playfully teased Gomez's film 'Emilia Pérez,' likening it to an unexpected Netflix movie autoplaying after a baking show.
Glaser couldn't resist poking fun at Golden Globe nominee Timothee Chalamet, remarking that his name sounded like it was tailor-made for Adam Sandler to pronounce. She then delighted the audience by impersonating Sandler and having him comically say Chalamet's name in his distinctive voice.
Notably, 'A Complete Unknown' star Timothee Chalamet was seated alongside his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, who joined in the laughter at Glaser's jokes. The host also playfully acknowledged 'Babygirl' star Nicole Kidman's husband, Keith Urban, jokingly thanking him for his guitar playing skills that apparently motivate Kidman to take on numerous film projects each year.
