Mark Ruffalo wasn't in any mood to keep things light on the Golden Globes red carpet: He assailed President Trump as a "rapist" and "pedophile" unfit to lead the country.

Ruffalo was asked by a USA Today reporter about a black-and-white pin Ruffalo wore on his tuxedo that stated simply, "Be Good." The actor, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his work on HBO's Task, didn't hold back.

"It's for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered," he said, referring to the 37-year-old Minnesota woman shot by an ICE agent Wednesday. He was one of several celebrities who wore similar pins to celebrate Good and reject ICE.

The Avengers actor went on to assail Vice President J.D. Vance' claim that the shooting was self-defense: "We have a vice president is lying about what's happening," Ruffalo said. (No charges have been filed in Good's killing.)

The actor added: "We're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded," and continued by saying that Trump is "telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality." (Trump told The New York Times this past week, when asked if there were any limits on his global power, "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”)

Here is the video:

Ruffalo said Trump's "morality" may not be the best barometer: "The guy is a convicted felon, or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble."

A quick fact check: Trump is indeed a convicted felon, but has not been convicted of rape. Rather, a jury in a civil case found that he had sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll, which Trump denies.

Also, Trump has not been convicted of — or even charged with — any crimes involving minors. But some online critics have called him a pedophile while accusing his administration of a lack of transparency surrounding the Epstein files.

Ruffalo continued, gesturing to his pin and referring to Good: "So this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them. I love this country, and what I'm seeing here happening is not America."

Asked why he thought the Golden Globes was a useful platform for a political message, Ruffalo replied: "Listen, I want to pretend like this — I want to be here to celebrate, and I am here to celebrate, and I'm proud to have a Golden Globe nomination. But also, this is not normal anymore, and so I don't know how I how I could be quiet, and I'm feeling a little sick, so it's hard to BS right now."

Ruffalo ended up losing in his category to The Pitt star Noah Wyle — but it seems like winning awards isn't really Ruffalo's top concern at the moment.

Nikki Glaser kicked off the Golden Globes with rhetorical guns blazing, saying the "Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department" and the "award for most editing goes to CBS News — yes, CBS News, America's newest place to see B.S. News."

It was a bluntly political start to the ceremony, which mocked the Trump Administration's slow-roll release of heavily redacted Epstein documents, and new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss' overhaul of the once-revered CBS News.

She also mocked the A-listers in the room, joking about Leonardo DiCaprio's fondness for much-younger women and Sean Penn's willingness to look old onscreen. Both co-star in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

And Glaser repeatedly referenced the sale of Warner Bros., opening her monologue by joking, "We set the bidding for Warner Brothers at $5." Later she called Sinners the movie that "single-handedly saved Warner Bros. — for about a month." Netflix and Paramount are currently jousting to take over the storied studio.

Glaser also poked lots of fun at herself, saying that like Frankenstein — subject of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — she was "pieced together by an unlicensed European surgeon."

This was Nikki Glaser's second-time hosting the Golden Globes. She scored last year, and received a very warm reception for her opening jokes Sunday night.

Glaser's speech signaled an overtly political Golden Globes onstage, but the political statements started well before the ceremony.

On the red carpet, several stars — including Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes and Natasha Lyonne — wore black-and-white pins declaring "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT" to protest ICE and memorialize Renee Good, the unarmed 37-year-old woman shot Wednesday by an ICE agent.

Protests nationwide have shared that sentiment, calling for accountability for Good's killing, which the Trump Administration has justified by saying Good tried to intentionally run over an ICE agent. (Judge for yourself.) CNN has reported that at least 1,000 demonstrations were planned this week.

Ruffalo told USA Today on the red carpet that he was wearing the pin "for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered." He also called Trump a "rapist" and "pedophile."

Trump has not been convicted of rape. Rather, a jury in a civil case found that he had sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll, which Trump denies. Also, Trump has also not been convicted of — or even charged with — any crimes involving minors.

Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power, which helped coordinate the anti-ICE pins, said the celebrity support helped spread the message.

“We need every part of civil society, society to speak up,” she told The Associated Press. “We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society.”

Demonstrators have called for justice not only in Good's killing, but in a a separate shooting in Portland in which Border Patrol agents wounded two people.
