While presenting the best director award at the Golden Globes, Judd Apatow<\/a> revealed his 10-year \u201cquiet boycott\u201d of the awards ceremony ever since losing the best comedy movie award in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is very surprising that I am here, because I\u2019ve been boycotting the ceremony for about 10 years. A very quiet boycott, no one seems to have noticed,\u201d Apatow quipped. \u201cWe\u2019ve had beef ever since my film \u2018Trainwreck<\/a>\u2019 lost best comedy to Ridley Scott<\/a>\u2019s \u2018The Martian.<\/a>‘\u201d<\/p>\n

As the audience laughed, Apatow dug deeper: \u201cYou know, Ridley Scott, America\u2019s favorite comedy director. Director of such hilarious comedies as \u2018Gladiator<\/a>,\u2019 \u2018Blade Runner<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Alien.<\/a>‘\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait until later tonight when best comedy is won by \u2018Hamnet<\/a>,’\u201d he added, referencing the best drama contender about William Shakespeare<\/a> grieving the loss of his child.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s water under the bridge. A lot has happened since then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While presenting the best director award at the Golden Globes, Judd Apatow revealed his 10-year \u201cquiet boycott\u201d of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[56284,56285,56283,321,93,1043,3211,61,60,56281,56286,9315,56282,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-241930","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-attori","9":"tag-attrici","10":"tag-celebrita","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-film","14":"tag-hollywood","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-notizie","18":"tag-registi","19":"tag-star","20":"tag-televisione","21":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
