The remark, made in a pre-ceremony conversation with Joel Edgerton on Maher’s Club Random podcast, was about his Emmy history—not an explicit prediction that he would lose his Golden Globe. Maher was nominated in the television stand-up category; Ricky Gervais ultimately won.

The number is Maher’s own quoted claim in that report; it is not independently verified here. And although the comment can fairly be summarized as pessimism about awards, Maher’s sentence refers to Emmy nominations. It does not name the Golden Globes category or directly say he expected to lose that particular award.
