We’ve been hearing for weeks about Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer as new BFFs, but aside from their YouTube’d collaboration with Billy Joel, we hadn’t yet seen this power duo in action. Their first big public splash had the Globes crowd in stitches, from Schumer giving herself her own “J.Law”-esque celebrity nickname (“A.Schu”) to admitting her desire for “all the Hemsworthes.” Rarely does pre-written banter feel so natural and unforced (they must really like each other!), and rarely is it so funny. Next up: They’re writing a movie together, but maybe they just made their case to host next year’s show?
It must have seemed like such a great idea in rehearsal: Jonah Hill would tweak his Wolf of Wall Street co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio,
by dressing up as the actor’s nemesis in his new box-office hit, The Revenant:
a fiercely protective Mama Bear. Unfortunately, the bit didn’t just
bomb… it bombed hard, and Hill tried to save it by going blue,
unleashing a series of f-bombs that the censors had to mute and
rendering his appearance incomprehensible as well as unfunny. The only
thing that actually made us laugh about the bit was.
