Seth Rogen was censored at the Golden Globes after making a joke about Ryan Gosling - and what he said has now been revealed.
Awards season has kicked off once again, even though it only seems like five minutes since last year.
However, this time of year is when all the biggest celebrities gather together... and that usually means some sort of drama.
Well, the 82nd Golden Globe Awards saw an unexpected moment of controversy on Monday when a crude joke by actor Seth Rogen was censored during the US broadcast, leaving viewers with five seconds of silence.
The incident occurred during Rogen’s presentation alongside fellow Canadian Catherine O’Hara at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
The pair delivered a Canada-themed skit before presenting the award for Best Female Actor – Limited Series.
“We’re both much more acclaimed for our Canadian work,” Rogen began, prompting O’Hara to add: “That’s right. Back home, we each have extensive history in award-winning performances.”
The duo entertained the audience by listing fictitious Canadian acting accolades, including O’Hara’s supposed win of “not one, but two golden antlers” for portraying “Mama Morissette in The Alanis Morissette Story.”
O’Hara also lauded Rogen’s ‘performance’ as Ryan Gosling in a fictional biopic titled Gosling, the Ryan Gosling Unauthorized Biopic.
“Thank you,” Rogen replied before delivering a joke that was abruptly muted on CBS. However, viewers around the world, including Australia, heard the explicit line in full, per News.com.au.
“It was unauthorized, and that Mickey Mouse Club handj*b scene was very controversial, but we felt very important to depict,” Rogen quipped, eliciting awkward laughter from the live audience.
While CBS censored this remark, Rogen’s subsequent jokes about his fictional career in Canadian adult films were aired uncensored.
“Logriders was great, Sticky Syrup, and, of course, the Mooseknuckles trilogy,” he joked. “Mooseknuckles 2: Knuckles Deep won Canada’s most illustrious adult film award actually.”
Fans took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the segment, calling it “the best part of the night.”
The collaboration wasn’t entirely coincidental. Rogen and O’Hara recently worked together on the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Studio, set to premiere in March.
This isn't the only talking point that came out of the Golden Globes... because Zendaya flashed what could possibly be an engagement ring.
The ring, reportedly valued at $500,000, has ignited rumors that the actress’s longtime partner and Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland might have proposed. Holland, notably absent from the event, has not commented on the speculation.
