In his past role as the host of the Brit Awards, James Corden faced both positive and negative feedback from viewers. However, he was determined to surpass his previous performance as he appeared on stage to host the prestigious Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday night. With a crowd full of famous faces such as Reese Witherspoon, Will Smith, Jane Fonda, and Amy Schumer, Corden confidently began the event with enthusiasm.

Putting on a show: James Corden went all out in his efforts to elevate his performance as he graced the stage for the 19th annual Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday. Reflecting on his surprise at hosting the event, he humorously expressed, โIf you had told me a year ago that I would be presenting the Hollywood Film Awards, I would have asked you, โWhat are the Hollywood Film Awards?’โ with a quick remark afterwards about the name sounding almost incredulous. With a playful jibe directed at Vin Diesel, the Late Late Show host couldnโt resist poking fun at the staggering profits that Hollywood blockbusters rake in.
Vin Diesel found himself on the receiving end of a playful jab during the Late Late Show, as the host playfully teased the immense profits generated by Hollywood blockbusters. The joke even involved a humorous reference to Vin Dieselโs marital status, further adding to the lighthearted banter.
After his recent relocation to the United States, James experienced a mix of reactions when he took on the role of hosting the Brit Awards. In his humorous and laid-back style, he playfully commented on the idea of awarding films that have already achieved significant success, stating that giving awards to blockbusters that make loads of money just doesnโt make sense. He then turned his attention to Vin, complimenting his looks and jokingly expressing his attraction towards him. James didnโt shy away from poking fun at the audienceโs extravagant meal either, asking them how they were enjoying the food before introducing the next presenter, rapper Ice Cube.
โWhat do we think of the delicious food, folks?โ Prior to his introduction of the legendary rapper Ice Cube as the upcoming presenter, Corden playfully teased the audience about their extravagant feast.
โWeโve got a bit of a legendary situation happening hereโ: The Brits playfully teased the quality of the food, suggesting that it wouldnโt meet the standards fit for someone like Robert De Niro, who happens to own Nobu.
Close pals: Once the glitz and glamour of the awards show had subsided, the dynamic duo happily gathered backstage to capture a timeless snapshot together.
โHey, can you believe it? I played a little prank on Robert De Niro. I showed him a plate of food and said, โHey, this is for you!โ The crowd burst into laughter. Then, I joked, โDid Bradley Cooper cook this? It looks so sad!โ Sorry, De Niro, youโre a legend. At this star-studded event, we had the pleasure of honoring Robert De Niro with the Hollywood Career Achievement Award. Carey Mulligan received the Hollywood Actress Award for her role in Suffragette, and Will Smith took home the Hollywood Actor Award for his portrayal of a doctor in Concussion.โ
