While he continued his monologue, his joke targeted towards Barry Keoghan was praised by the guests present for the event. However, it received negative feedback from social media users, many of whom asked him to just stop. Meanwhile, others wondered what he was doing.
Jo Koy's monologue included jokes about Barbie and Oppenheimer. He said that Oppenheimer did not have a proper backstory and had to run for another hour. Koy claimed that Barbie was based on a "plastic doll with big b**bies."
"The key moment in 'Barbie' is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breath, cellulite and flat feet – or what casting directors call character acting." He continued.
Koy also spoke of Robert De Niro's family and in one of his jokes, he also spoke about the film Killers of the Flower Moon. During that, he claimed that the movie revealed that whites were the ones who took away everything.
The Golden Globes 2024 was held at The Beverly Hilton on January 7. The New York Times stated that multiple films and TV shows have emerged as winners in multiple categories, including Oppenheimer, Barbie, Anatomy of a Fall, Succession, and The Bear.
