Judd Apatow and Mark Ruffalo criticize Donald Trump at Golden Globes

Movieweb reports that Judd Apatow and Mark Ruffalo criticized Donald Trump during events around the 83rd Golden Globes. Apatow, who presented Best Director, joked about ending his "quiet" boycott over The Martian’s 2015 win and, via Variety, added a jab at the Trump administration, saying, "I believe we're a dictatorship now." On the red carpet, Ruffalo wore a "Be Good" pin to honor Renee Good, who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, and told USA Today, "It's for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered," before criticizing Vice President J.D.

Vance and then explicitly attacking Trump: "We're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. [Trump] is telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him... The guy is a convicted felon or a convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being." The piece places those remarks amid wider controversy: it says the Trump administration recently bombed and invaded Venezuela and captured Nicolás Maduro, and that Trump told The New York Times he does not need to consider international law.
