Celebrities Booed "The Apprentice" Creator Over His Ties To Donald Trump
“Where are the tapes?”
The Producers Guild Awards were held Saturday in Los Angeles amid national protests against President Trump’s refugee ban.
The show is not traditionally aired on television like its sister-show the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which will be held on Sunday night.

Several attendees chose to address Trump’s order at the show, most notably John Legend who expressed his disdain before introducing La La Land.
“Los Angeles is the home of so many immigrants, so many creative people, so many dreamers,” said Legend. “Our America is big, it is free, and it is open to dreamers of all races, all countries, all religions. Our vision of America is directly antithetical to that of President Trump. I want to specifically tonight reject his vision and affirm that America has to be better than that.”
Legend also noted that he and wife Chrissy Teigen decided to “put their money where their mouth is” and make a donation to the ACLU.
Elizabeth and Nora Rothman opted for a non-verbal form of protest by wearing “pussy hats” while presenting their father, Tom Rothman, with the Milestone Award.
