Last night marked the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, celebrating film and American television and bringing together a who’s who of superstars from around the world of entertainment.
As is to be expected at such a scrutinized event, there were plenty of standout moments that quickly went viral online. One such moment featured iconic rap artist and producer Snoop Dogg, on hand to present the award for ‘Best Podcast’.
Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with that even being a category, yesterday was the first time in the Golden Globes’ history that they’ve offered an award for best podcast. Exactly how it fits in where film and TV is concerned is anyone’s guess, but I suppose its a reflection of just how many celebrities are choosing to break into the podcast game these days.
In any case, it was actress and comedian Amy Poehler who took home the inaugural trophy for ‘Best Podcast’ for her podcast The Good Hang.
Yet it was arguably Snoop Dogg’s speech before handing Poehler the distinction that received the most attention. Anyone watching the event will have noticed that a portion of his speech was bleeped out, leaving fans scratching their heads as to what he might have been saying.
Well, we have an answer for you.
“I need y’all to loosen up a little bit. This is the double-G’s, the double-G’s, it’s the Golden Globes, and you’re with the D-O-double-G,” the singer, 54, began.
“So, make sure you enjoy yourself, don’t be no stiff biff! Move around a little bit!”
Snoop even took aim at the new category of ‘Best Podcast’, saying: “Best Podcast is a very important category for me, because, before podcasts, I was what y’all would listen to driving around in your cars. To you podcasters, you better hope I don’t get in that game.
“Shout-out to the Golden Globes for putting the podcast category in this awards show. And shout-out to all of the podcasters. You all are winners, but the real winner is…”
The Next Episode rapper then appeared to briefly cut out before handing Poehler the award. It turned out broadcasters had bleeped out a segment of the 54-year-old’s speech for audiences watching from home.
As per Entertainment Weekly, Snoop’s bleeped out quip had to do with him being high.
“I’m high as a motherf**ker right now,” he told the celebrities in attendance. “Y’all had me here too damn long.”
