Sylvester Stallone 'foolishly forgot' to thank important people

Sylvester Stallone's sorry for forgetting to mention some important names in his Golden Globes speech.

Sylvester Stallone has taken to social media to officially thank Creed director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B Jordan days after winning the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in the film.

He wrote Tuesday on Twitter that he owes everything to his director and co-star.

Stallone reprises his role as Rocky Balboa in the boxing movie Creed.

At Sunday's Globes ceremony, Stallone failed to recognise Coogler and Jordan in his acceptance speech.

The actor did return to the stage during a commercial break to make amends to his collaborators. But the moment wasn't televised, and many people criticised Stallone on social media for his oversight, including Samuel L Jackson and Ava DuVernay.

Well. I'm gonna go ahead and thank RYAN COOGLER + MICHAEL B. JORDAN since no one else is. Thank you, brothers. Good work. #smh #goldenglobes

In his tweet, Stallone says Jackson is right for being upset that he "foolishly forgot" to mention Coogler and Jordan.

"Samuel Jackson is upset that I foolishly forgot to mention the brilliant Ryan Coogle and MB Jordan he is right I owe them everything," Stallone wrote.
