One of the most widely commented moments during the Golden Globe Awards, apart from the discussion about the winners, is the host’s introductory speech. At the 81st awards ceremony, the introductory monologue was delivered by comedian Jo Koy. There were some mishaps.
Joy Koy hosted the 2024 Golden Globes. Not all of the host’s jokes were spot on
The host of the event noted in his welcome speech that he had only two weeks to prepare. Additionally, he joked that he lied to the event’s production about knowing the nominated films. Opinions on the Internet about his monologue are divided.
“Saltburn” star Barry Keoghan’s penis jokes and those referring to a diabetes drug being used as a weight loss method caused mixed reactions. Koy also mocked the length of “Oppenheimer” and the quick transition in “Barbie” from showing perfect beauty to talking about cellulite and flat feet.
The most awkward moment of Koy’s acceptance speech came when the Golden Globes host tried to make fun of Taylor Swift. The singer appeared at the gala due to the “The Eras Tour” nomination. The concert film documenting the star’s tour became the highest-grossing production of this genre in history and the tenth best-selling picture in the US in 2023.
Taylor Swift glared at the host at the Golden Globes. The joke hit her sore spot
The host referred to Swift’s relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. The singer often supports her partner – Travis Kelce and appears at NFL games, which does not go unnoticed by both the cameras and media present there. “There is a big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. Here we have fewer shots of Taylor Swift,” Koy said to the singer.
The artist’s face says everything the star thinks about the host’s joke. Swift grabbed her drink, took a sip, and glared at Koy. The recording of Taylor’s face quickly circulated the Internet. If looks could kill, the Golden Globes host would be in trouble.
