Overview

• Presenting Outstanding Talk Series at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, Bryan Cranston joked about 'destructive woke degenerates like Tom Hanks' during the live broadcast.
• Cameras showed nominee Jimmy Kimmel stone-faced at the line, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert took the category.
• The remark referenced Trump's Truth Social post last week labeling Hanks 'destructive' and 'woke' after news of a canceled West Point ceremony.
• Online reactions ranged from viewers calling the line an anti-Trump jab to others questioning whether Cranston insulted Hanks outright.
• West Point's alumni association previously announced the honor, but an email from retired Col. Mark Bieger said the event was canceled, without clarifying whether the award itself was revoked.
