During an interview with ET at the star-studded bash, the Chairman Award-winner was asked about how he felt having Jenner's support during awards season. Instead, The Dune star brushed off the question about his billionaire lady love, saying: 'It's a great feeling to be in a room with so much love and so many great peers, and people that are fantastic.

'I like seeing the new wave and the new generation here,' he continued. 'I also like seeing everyone who's been holding it down [for] decades plus.'. Fans were left divided over if his leaving out of the vixen's name was a subtle snub or if it instead was a calculated boundary-setting.
