“I loved Wicked. I saw it four times in the first four days. It was the highest-grossing movie musical of all time. Do you know that? Usually to make that much money, you have to sue Blake Lively,” he said.

He then joked that there was so much fuss made “over such a terrible movie.”

Chelsea Handler also just mocked their legal battle in her own monologue at an awards show.

Elsewhere in his opening monologue, he called out his fellow filmmakers to take a stand against President Donald Trump, joking: “We all have to decide if we’re going to fight Trump or bend the knee. Maybe I should start making movies and TV that MAGA people would like, like the Real Housewives of January 6th. A hot Proud Boy wife, she gets sexy in a catfight with an Oath Keepers wife. Note to self: Really make that show.”

“You could do Extreme Home Makeover: Gaza Edition. We’re going to turn that into the Riviera!” he added.

“Or we go the other way. We go hard against Trump. We go even woke-r. We don’t back down. Let’s all go super, double woke. I’m going to make Dune 3 with all gay sand words. I’ll do reboots like The Shawshank Assignment Surgery. 12 Angry Thems. ET the Extra-Bisexual. Sex and the Sanctuary City. I could go all day. The Amazing Spider-Person. You guys get it. It’s what we’re dealing with,” he joked.
