Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser opened the evening by mocking celebrities for their past presidential endorsements that seemed to have no effect.
When the awards show began Sunday night, Glaser began by complimenting the room of celebrities, then quickly roasted them.
“I’m not here to roast you tonight. I want you to know that. How could I really? You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful. I mean, you really can do anything.. .I mean, except telling the country who to vote for,” Glaser said.
As the crowd laughed, she added, “But it doesn’t matter! You’ll get them next time! If there is one. I’m scared.”
