During what was a mostly apolitical ceremony — especially when compared with those of the awards season so far — Casey Affleck took his moment at the podium to call out the Trump administrations’ “abhorrent” policies.

Then he resolved, “But I feel like increasingly my kids don’t listen to me unless it’s something I say on TV.”

And, with that, Affleck took aim at the White House: “The policies of this administration are abhorrent and they won’t last,” he said to applause. “You don’t have to clap out of obligation,” he told the audience.
