Levi started off the show by poking fun at the night's categories and some of the celebrities in attendance. The Shazam! star noted how most of the audience was a nerd at one point before showing off unflattering photos of Johnson, Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista.

Levi then shared an uplifting message for viewers at home, telling them to start loving the person they are.
