Hugh Laurie wins for best Trump joke at Golden Globes

The award for the best Donald Trump joke so far goes to ... Hugh Laurie.

Laurie, who was honored with a best-supporting Golden Globe for playing avaricious arms dealer Richard Roper in AMC's limited series The Night Manager, admitted he was worried about the potentially chilling effect of the incoming Trump administration on award shows.

"I suppose it's made more amazing by the fact that I'll be able to say I won this at the last ever Golden Globes," said the actor, who started out in comedy as one-half of Jeeves & Wooster. "I don't mean to be gloomy it's just that it has the words ‘Hollywood,’ ‘Foreign,’ and ‘Press’ in the title. I just don't know ... I also think to some Republicans even the word ‘association’ is slightly sketchy."

Still, he wasn't about to refuse the trophy and instead accepted "this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere.”

The show's first hour was relatively light on political jokes. Laurie's remarks were the first since Jimmy Fallon's monologue, in which he got in a few digs at the president-elect.

"People wonder what it would have been like if King Joffrey (the evil boy-king from Game of Thrones) had lived. Well, in 12 days, we’re about to find out."

Fallon also mocked the transition team's trouble booking big names to play the inauguration: "Florence Foster Jenkins is nominated. She’s the world’s worst opera singer and yet even she turned down performing at the inauguration."

He also pointed out that this year's awards had been tabulated by the accounting firm of "Ernst, Young & Putin."
