Michael B. Jordan Downplays Viral Golden Globes Moment, Says His Mom Is "Used to It"

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Sinners star addressed the viral clip, saying his mother just gave an eye roll.

Overview

  • During the Golden Globes monologue, host Nikki Glaser joked about Jordan playing twins in Sinners, quipping "Nikki B. Jerkin'," then immediately apologized onstage with "That should've been a DM."
  • Broadcast cameras showed Donna Jordan rolling her eyes and taking a sip of her drink, and the brief reaction clip quickly circulated across social platforms.
  • Jordan later told Jimmy Kimmel, "I had fun but my mom stole the show," adding of her reaction, "I think by now she's used to it" and that she "keeps it pushing."
  • Awards-night results provided context for the moment, as Jordan lost Best Actor to Wagner Moura while Sinners won Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score.
