Actor Seth Rogen took a swipe at the Emmy Awards over COVID-19 restrictions, claiming “they lied to us.”
“Good to be here at the Emmy Awards. Let me start by saying there is way too many of us in this little room. What are we doing? They said this was outdoors. It’s not. They lied to us. We’re in a hermetically sealed tent right now. I would not have come to this,” Rogen said while presenting the first award during the show on Sunday.
He continued, “Why is there a roof? It’s more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don’t kill Eugene Levy tonight.”

According to the website for the awards, the venue for the event was a “flexible environment, inside a fully air-conditioned tent” allowing “for more socially-distanced audience seating.”
The statement continued, “In addition to proof of full vaccination with either an FDA- or WHO-authorized vaccine, attendees at all four shows will be required to provide proof of a negative RT-PCR COVID test prior to admission to all Emmy ceremonies.”
The host of Sunday’s show, Cedric the Entertainer, weighed in on Rogen’s comments.
“It actually feels amazing in here unlike what Seth was talking about. It feels good. We’re all vaxxed. We had to get vaxxed to come here. I got vaxxed,” he said.
The host also commented on singer Nicki Minaj’s recent comments about getting the vaccine.
