Kumail Nanjiani Opens Directors Guild Awards With Jokes About Epstein Files, Long Movies, ‘Sinners’ and D.W. Griffith

omg, i loved kumail nanjiani's hosting debut at the directors guild awards! he totally killed it with his jokes about long production times and how other cities host similar events. but what really got me was when he spoke about the power of filmmaking to bring people together . i think it's so true, especially in these divisive times. anyway, i'm just glad someone like nanjiani is bringing some much-needed levity to the industry .

lol this guy Kumail Nanjiani is hilarious I loved how he roasted the DGA awards and poked fun at the long production times of movies - it's like everyone's in on the joke . And I'm dying over his joke about "Sinners" having an impressive track record of capturing the true horror of white people dancing... I mean come on, that's some genius level comedy . But what really got me was when he talked about the power of filmmaking to bring people together and remind us that we have more in common than we think . It's like, this is exactly what Hollywood needs - a fresh voice who can make us laugh and think at the same time .

I gotta say , Kumail Nanjiani is a genius when it comes to roasting those in power! He brought so much energy to that stage and had everyone laughing out loud . I love how he didn't just focus on tearing down the nominees, but also highlighted the importance of their work in making us laugh, cry, or think .

And can we talk about his Spielberg jokes for a second? That was pure perfection! He's got a great sense of humor and isn't afraid to poke fun at himself or others. It's clear he has a deep respect for the film industry and its impact on society .

But what really stood out to me was when he talked about the power of filmmaking to bring people together . That's so true! Movies have the ability to transcend boundaries and make us see things from different perspectives. It was beautiful to hear him express that sentiment, especially given what's going on in the world right now .

Overall, I think Kumail Nanjiani is a talented comedian and a great host . His energy and humor are infectious, and he brought so much joy to the DGA Awards ceremony. Can't wait to see what he does next!
