Critics Choice Awards host Chelsea Handler mocked the "It Ends With Us" legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who were not present.

Chelsea Handler took the stage at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards on Friday, Feb. 7 with her arm wrapped in a bandage. She previously revealed the reason, even sharing a photo of her arm the night before the ceremony.

Without saying the actual words ‘Donald Trump’, Critics Choice Awards host Chelsea Handler fired up her monologue with jokes where Golden Globe host Nikki Glaser feared to go: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. “Thank you for providing us with distraction,” Handler said to the duo who aren’t here today, “We’re all grateful and I thnk we’re good.”
