In case you didn’t know, the Golden Globes were on today. Heard of ’em?? It’s the award ceremony that isn’t quite the Oscars and isn’t quite the Emmys but combines all of those things into one glorious awards show that ceases to matter as soon as the Academy Awards drop its nominations.
But goddamn, it’s some good watching. Here’s some of the best / funniest / most thought-provoking tweets about the 2018 Golden Globes.
1. When Laura Dern was appreciated for the majestic, fearsome being she is.
Laura Dern always seems like she’s going to giggle politely at your joke, lean in, and whisper, “You’re dead to me.”

2. When Justin Timberlake, star of Woody Allen’s new film Wonder Wheel (opposite Kate Winslett), forgot that this might not be the time for performative allyship.

3. Everything about this tweet. (A bunch of celebs even brought gender and racial activists as their dates, which meant their red carpet interviews were used to talk about injustices.)

4. Willem Dafoe’s face as he listened to Seth Meyer’s blistering Golden Globes opening monologue.

Seth Meyers didn’t hold back, delivering punch after punch to Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, and other serial abusers.
5. Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet realising that ice skater Tonya Harding was sitting right behind him.

9. And Mariah accidentally stealing Meryl Streep’s seat.

(Nicole won for Big Little Lies, and Ewan won for Fargo; Moulin Rouge! came out in 2001.)
11. Tom Hanks taking martini duty in his stride.

12. This swerve by James Franco to stop Tommy hogging the mic.
I’m 90 percent certain Tommy Wiseau thinks he directed THE DISASTER ARTIST. pic.twitter.com/AKwWQNQNGI

13. Mindy Kaling, who stars in A Wrinkle In Time alongside Oprah and Reese Witherspoon, getting mad when Reese said Oprah was the best person to spend four hours a day in a makeup trailer with.
UH REESE I WAS IN THE MAKEUP TRAILER TOO

16. And when Oprah speech was so powerful, Donald Glover rejoined Twitter.

17. And Laura Dern crying over Oprah’s speech.
We are all Laura Dern, crying over Oprah. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/8if5skmK80
— Devan Coggan (@devancoggan) January 8, 2018
18. And everybody looking at Oprah with pure love and joy. Her speech was really, REALLY good, okay? (Read the full transcript here.)

19. When Natalie Portman used two little words to make a huge statement about the best director category.
https://twitter.com/girlposts/status/950212330809421827
I gotta say that what Natalie Portman did by adding the word “male” to the introduction for best director took some serious guts. Did you see the awkward looks? That’s the face of change.

20. This call-out of Greta Gerwig missing out on a best director nomination for Lady Bird.
Let this sink in:
Greta Gerwig directed her lead actor to a Golden Globe win
Greta Gerwig directed the film that won best picture
Greta Gerwig was not dominated for best director – all men were. #TIMESUP #GoldenGlobes #LadyBird— Andrea Chalupa 🇺🇲 (@AndreaChalupa) January 8, 2018
21. This important reunion of two Harry Potter actors.
https://twitter.com/aleefangirl/status/950222539686596609
22. And finally, the cruel reality of what it means to watch these award shows as an Australian.
Extremely keen to see Lady Bird when it comes out here in 2040.
