The event wasn t televised, but Mulaney delivered, according to video posted by the academy.
"As a boy, I would always watch the non-televised Governors Awards, even though they only started 14 years ago," he said. "My family would gather around the turned-off TV . and I d think, Someday, that s gonna be me. "
However, the line of the night came regarding honorary Oscar recipient Angela Bassett, with Mulaney saying, "Here s how great an actor Angela Bassett is: she got an Oscar nomination for a Marvel movie. That s like getting a Pulitzer Prize for a Reddit comment."
Incidentally, that comment made Oppenheimer s Robert Downey Jr. hide his face laughing.
