Golden Globes host Nikki Glazer kicked off the night by mocking celebrities for their past support for presidents that seemingly had no effect.
When the awards ceremony began Sunday night, Glaser started by praising the celebrity room, but quickly moved on to roasting them.
“Tonight, I'm not here to grill you. I want you to know that. Really, how could I? You're all so famous, so talented, so It's powerful. I mean, you can really do anything… except tell the country who to vote for,” Glaser said.
As the audience burst into laughter, she followed up with, “But it's okay! I'll get it next time! If only I had it. It's scary.”
