He was joined on stage by Emmy-winning host Jimmy Kimmel, who offered him the winners' envelope to cover up before stepping out to the microphone.

Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth was among a celeb-filled presenters line-up alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Al Pacino, Lupita Nyong'o, Octavia Spencer, Zendaya and more.
