After introducing a clip from Black Widdow, Jost drops the slim bucket on her head.
“What the f—!” she shouted in response.
“MTV! ‘You got slimed!'” replied Jost.
She said, “That’s Nickelodeon!”
“I’m very, very sorry,” said Jost. “I’ll get a towel. … Love you.”
“Where did you even get this?” the award winner asked.
“Amazon,” answered Jost.
Jost and Johansson married in October 2020 after dating since 2017.
As for other award shows, Johansson came out in protest of the Golden Globes, earlier this month, labeling the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as “sexist.”
