John Mulaney Surprises Governors Awards as Host, Recalls Failed Audition for Maggie Gyllenhaal Movie as ‘Young Cop’
The Academy's Governors Awards brought surprise host John Mulaney, recalling failed audition for Maggie Gyllenhaal's next movie.
The room was overflowing with A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Christopher Nolan (“Oppenheimer”), Ava DuVernay (“Origin”), Eva Longoria (“Flamin’ Hot”), Colman Domingo (“Rustin”), Natalie Portman (“May December”), Margot Robbie (“Barbie”) and more. With jokes about putting himself on tape for the role of “Young Cop” in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s untitled movie at Warner Bros. (in which Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley are in talks to star, according to the email Mulaney read from his WME agent) to calling the original title of Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Bye, Felicia,” if the Academy can tap him for a future ceremony, the Oscars (and the ratings) will be in good hands. The audience was brought to tears when directors Ryan Coogler and Chloe Zhao presented the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Satter, whose son, Michael Latt, was killed in his apartment in Los Angeles in November.
