Comedian Nikki Glaser, 41, sparked an awkward but humorous moment at the Golden Globes on Jan. 11 when she openly lusted after Michael B. Jordan, 38. The joke, however, received a serious side-eye from Jordan's mother, Donna Jordan.
During the night, Glaser referenced Jordan's latest role in Sinners, where he plays twin brothers Smoke and Stack.
“In Sinners, Michael played two brothers,” Glaser began. “Am I allowed to say that?” She continued, noting Jordan's performance in the vampire film directed by Ryan Coogler. “And I can’t believe it. We got two Michael B. Jordans. When I saw that, I was like, Nikki B. Jerking, because that was awesome.”
While the audience laughed, cameras cut to Donna Jordan, who appeared visibly uncomfortable, taking a sip of what looked like water. The broadcast captured her rolling her eyes, a reaction that quickly caught viewers’ attention.
On the other hand, Michael took the joke in stride, hiding his face and laughing along with the crowd.
“Why did I make that joke?” Glaser said as laughter continued. “I know… your mom. I’m so sorry. I should not have said that to you. That should have been a DM. My mistake. My mistake. I love you. You’re amazing.”
Michael B. Jordan lost the Best Actor in a Motion Picture award, sparking reactions online.
Unfortunately, Jordan lost the prestigious Best Actor in a Motion Picture award to Wagner Moura, who won for his role in The Secret Agent, marking a historic moment as the first Brazilian actor to achieve this honor. Despite the loss, Sinners won two Golden Globes for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award and Best Original Score.
After the ceremony, some viewers expressed their frustration over Jordan’s loss on social media, calling it a snub.
“Michael B. Jordan losing best actor…..f—k everyone,”wrote one user on X.
Another fan commented,
“Michael B. Jordan snubbed again, #GoldenGlobes.”
Despite the night's bittersweet moments, Donna also expressed her pride in her son's achievements as they walked the red carpet.
“Just his commitment and his dedication and his persistence to his craft,”
the matriarch toldZuri Hall on E!’s red carpet show regarding her pride for her son, according to Entertainment Weekly. “And the messages that he tries to share with everyone, with the choices that he makes, and the work that he does. I’m very proud of that.”
