Sylvester Stallone Forgot To Thank Michael B. Jordan And Ryan Coogler During His Golden Globes Speech

But don't worry, he righted his wrong during the break.

Sylvester Stallone seemed to thank just about everyone during his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.

The "Creed" actor thanked his wife and his kids, Williams Morris Endeavor (WME) and MGM, producers and even Rocky Balboa himself.

But after his speech ended, people noticed that Stallone seemed to forget two particularly important people. Perhaps you can guess who they are. No? Then let Twitter give you a hint!

I double-checked. Stallone thanked neither writer-director Ryan Coogler nor costar Michael B. Jordan, thanked just about everybody else.

That's right, Stallone forgot to thank the film's star Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler. Luckily, he apparently quickly realized his mistake and rushed back on stage during the break to thank the pair, as well as Tessa Thompson.

Ok so at the commercial, Sylvester Stallone rushed back onstage to thank Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan but it didn't air on TV.

Sylvester Stallone realized he didn't thank #Creed's director Ryan Coogler: "You are a brilliant, brilliant filmmaker." #GoldenGlobes

Stallone also thanked his CREED co-stars Michael B. Jordan & Tessa Thompson, saying they did all the work, & he just hung on. #GoldenGlobes

"Couldn’t have done this without you. Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, seriously, you did it all," he reportedly said. "I just hung on for dear life. You’re a genius. Thank you. He deserves all the credit in the world. Thank you."

A mistake worth groaning about, sure. But hey, at least he realized it and tried to right his wrong. Congrats, Sylvester.
