What Jo Koy Said About Oppenheimer’s Run-Time at the Golden Globes
Stand-up comedianJo Koytook charge of making the audience laugh for the 81st Golden Globes Awards night and made a crack about Christopher Nolan’s three-hour-long feature documentary by quipping that his only complaint is that it needs “another hour.”
Like the majority of his jokes, this one also failed to amuse the audience. Fortunately for Koy, Scorsese is now making a film that he may find easier to complete in one sitting.
The much-acclaimed auteur plans to shoot his Jesus movie later this year, having already finished writing the screenplay with Kent Jones.
