NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!Director Judd Apatow claimed that America is "in a dictatorship" during his remarks at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday night.
Apatow was presenting the award for Best Director when he began commenting about how much has changed since his film, "Trainwreck," lost a Golden Globe Award to director Ridley Scott's film "The Martian" in 2016.
"A lot has happened since then. That was 10 years ago," Apatow said. "Since then, we’ve had COVID. I believe we’re a dictatorship now. I’m still pretty focused on this ‘The Martian’ thing, I’ve got to be honest with you."

When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Anna Kelly, a representative for the White House, said, "If anyone cared what out-of-touch celebrities thought about politics, Kamala Harris would be President."
Apatow was an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump during his first administration, often using inflammatory language.
In 2017, he compared his feelings on Trump being elected to "a person about to get raped."
"I feel like I've just been raped, and I just don't know if I'm going to get murdered," he told the Daily Beast.

"Donald is a mass murderer. Any comment which doesn’t make that clear is lying about what he is doing. He has chosen to misinform people to help him politically which is killing tens of thousands more people. He is a mass murderer by choice. He should be impeached for murder," he wrote on X, then Twitter.
