“I wanted to thank you for killing my father and 50% of Markl”

Bruno Nogueira went on stage at the XXX Golden Globes Gala to receive and thank the award in the category of Best Humor Project, which won with “Noise”, RTP. 

The comedian provided the laughter of the public at the time of speaking, because he did not lack his characteristic humor – even having highlighted difficult moments.

Initially, he said: “I was not expecting to win this award, or I would have prepared a speech.” This before you take your speech out of your pocket. 

Then he reacted: “Exactly a year ago, my father was in the hospital in intensive care watching the Golden Globes in which I was appointed. That year I didn't win and my father died the next morning. I asked the nurse what her last words were and she said they were: SIC killed me.”

“ Over the years, Markl had been nominated twice for the Globes. Interestingly, last year he had two strokes. It's doing the math. I wanted to thank SIC and Face for killing my dad and 50% of Markl. Thank you very much. Good night”, completed Bruno Nogueira, leaving after the stage with the audience unable to contain laughter. 

Behind the gala after receiving the Golden Globe, Bruno Nogueira returned to his characteristic humor. “ I feel really good about winning this Globe [...] because it's so fresh back here. Inside is about 270 degrees. There are people who have done things to their faces and are now melting – more than the people who have not. But back here's pretty good, there's beer in there I know they're gonna let me have a beer. And with the Globe I am also happy.”

To remember that Bruno Nogueira's father died in early November last year. “My father died this week, I had come to tell you about someone very close who was ill and who had, of course, moved with all my life and with the color of days. This suffering came to an end, my father’s,” he said at the time when he talked about his father’s departure in his podcast, “This is not said.”.

Before finishing November, Bruno Nogueira saw his good friend Nuno Markl suffer the first stroke. A few days later, the humorist suffered a second stroke when he was already in the hospital.

On Saturday night, Nuno Markl was also one of the winners of the evening, having taken home the Golden Globe Personality of the Year. “After two strokes you’re not happy, I think you take the best possible advantage of the happiness that goes on and those that are a constant in the good and bad times, which are the people that are around us that we love and that love us”, he said during his speech of thanks for the trophy.
