The writer and director, whose credits include Knocked Up and Funny People, was hosting the Directors Guild of America (DGA) awards in Los Angeles on Saturday (8 February) when he addressed the newly elected US president.
Apatow poked fun at several subjects throughout the evening, including Elon Musk and the Emilia Pérez controversy, which saw lead star Karla Sofía Gascón facing backlash for resurfaced offensive tweets.
The big winner of the evening was Anora, whose win for director Sean Baker has established the comedy drama as the Best Picture frontrunner at the 2025 Oscars.
Addressing the elephant in the room, Apatow acknowledged that there were probably stars in the room who voted for Trump.
He also took aim at anyone in the crowd who owned any item made by Tesla CEO Musk: “If you’re the owner of the Tesla Cybertruck in the parking lot, please go f*** yourself.”.
