Seth Rogen has come under fire following his COVID critique of the Emmys.

The annual Primetime Emmy Awards returned to our screens, September 19, for a star-studded spectacle. Aimed at celebrating the talent and hard work behind our favorite TV shows, the ceremony saw A-List names gather at the L.A. Live entertainment complex, in hopes of taking home one of the golden awards.

Whilst the evening provided some truly heart-warming, record-breaking moments, it also sparked controversy in an array of ways.

One bizarre moment, in particular, caused viewers to rush to Twitter to troll actor and comedian, Seth Rogen, on his attack at the award show. As he took to the stage to present the award for Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series, Rogen shared his thoughts on the show’s attitude towards COVID regulations.

He began by stating how good it was to make an appearance at the show before swiftly ripping into it. He mentioned, “It’s good to be here at the Emmy awards, let me start off by saying, there is way too many of us in this little room.”

Rogen then continued by highlighting how the venue for the ceremony had been lied about. He stated that they had been told the awards would be taking place outdoors when in reality it was hosted in a “hermetically sealed tent." Rogen then continued by mentioning that, had he known this information he would not have attended.

As he continued his comedic rant, he called out the ceremony for prioritizing aesthetics over the safety of its attendees. He mentioned, “It’s more important that we have three chandeliers, than that we make sure we don’t kill Eugene Levy tonight.”

Rogen rounded off his speech by ridiculing the confusing blur of COVID regulations. He highlighted how in the span of one week he had gone from “wiping his groceries” to having Paul Bettany “sneeze in his face.”

Whilst Rogen branded his rant as “jokes”, many did not respond well to the satire. Twitter users commented on the hypocrisy behind his words as they pointed out how his actions did not match his critiques.

For example, one user wrote, “If he cared he would have turned around once he realized it was inside… sooooo, can’t really take wealthy actors words as truth in their beliefs.”

Whilst another added, “But not that concerned to stand by his morals and principles and go home huh.”

Other users criticized his decision to attack the ceremony whilst not actually taking any precautions to protect himself and those around him. For example, many highlighted how futile his “concern” was, as he didn’t even have the decency to wear a mask throughout the show.

Others trolled the actor focusing on his well-known usage of marijuana. Critics joked that Rogen must have been high during the humorless speech.

One user wrote, “Come on...he was probably too high to know where the h*** he was.”
