Tom Cruise wasn’t off-limits at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards, despite his messy relationship with the awards show.
Host Jerrod Carmichael made a particularly brutal jab at the actor – who isn’t nominated tonight – and his decision to return his three Golden Globe awards in 2021 in response to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s many controversies, which include lack of Black representation, anti-Asian racism, and sexual misconduct.
Before introducing presenters Glen Powell and Jay Ellis, Cruise’s costars in Top Gun: Maverick, Carmichael entered the stage with three trophies.
“Hey, guys backstage I found these,” the host said. “It’s the three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned.”
Cruise had won the awards for his roles in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, and Magnolia.
But that wasn’t all, Carmichael had more jokes up his sleeve – including one that left many in shock.
