The comedian didn’t miss a chance to deliver some well-timed humor, poking fun at familiar topics like Leonardo DiCaprio’s young girlfriends and Kevin Hart’s stature, before taking a jab at the Epstein files, humorously proposing that the US justice department deserves an award for best editing.

In the film “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” Byrne portrays a psychotherapist who is grappling with the challenges of caring for her ailing daughter.

The evening kicked off with Teyana Taylor snagging the first award for her dynamic supporting role in “One Battle After Another.”

One Battle After Another has a leading nine nominations, competing in the Globes’ musical or comedy category.

The most comically poignant award of the night went to Seth Rogen, whose Hollywood satire The Studio memorably included an episode devoted to drama around a night at the Globes.

Rogen won best male actor in a comedy.

“This is so weird,” Rogen said, chuckling.

“We just pretended to do this. And now it’s happening.”
