She continued, “I loved it so much.Emilia Pérezearned 10 nominations for Netflix, and I loved it. I think it is, without a doubt, the most audacious, groundbreaking film to ever autoplay afterIs It Cake?Seriously, so good.”

Glaser told PEOPLE in December 2024 thatshe wasn’t “out for blood”with her monologue, adding of the celebrities in attendance, “I don’t want to ruin their nights, and I certainly don’t want them to remember my name for the wrong reasons.”

She said she knewher reputation as a roast queenpreceded her. “I don’t want anyone to go into thisfeeling like, ‘Oh my God,’ coming up with armor on. ‘Who does this girl think she is?’ ” Glaser continued.

“But it’s still a big, glitzy, glamorous event where people are taking themselves too seriously. So it’s walking a line with them,” she added. “Every joke I write, I want it to be edgy enough to please the people at home, the common man wants me to take down the Hollywood elite — even though we all worship the Hollywood elite — they still want me to put them in their place.”
