Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Just Called George Clooney a Trophy Husband

Jan 11 2015 - 5:32pm

During their Golden Globes opening monologue, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler [1] said what most of us were thinking when they introduced George Clooney and his wife, Amal Alamuddin. The hilarious hosts took a feminist slant with their joke:

"George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an advisor to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected for a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight . . . her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award."

They went on to make George a little nervous by insinuating that the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award he's being honored with could be a hoax; "you've been pranking people for 25 years," Amy said, adding that he could just be getting "Cecil B. DeBurnt." George and Amal made their first-ever award season appearance [2] on Sunday evening and took the red carpet by storm with their matching black-and-white looks.
