Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jo Koy is once again weighing in on his divisive stint hosting the 2024 Golden Globes, which received mostly negative reviews from critics and viewers.

He was accused of being sexist due to a joke in which he compared Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Gerwig’s “Barbie.” “‘Oppenheimer’ is based on the 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project — and ‘Barbie’ is about a plastic doll with big boobies,” he said as the audience responded with a muted laugh.
Given that “Barbie” actively fights against gender stereotypes, many Golden Globes viewers found Koy’s joke to be tasteless and reductive. Gerwig wasn’t too phased by the joke, telling BBC Radio 4 Today a few days after the ceremony: “Well, he’s not wrong.
