The Golden Globe Awards, a significant event in Hollywood, honors outstanding achievements in both film and television. Occasionally, however, the occasion becomes the center of controversy due to controversial speeches by actors or heated debates among participants.

Internet users have a knack for turning misfortunes into laughter – they craft amusing memes out of such incidents. Here’s a compilation of some highly contentious moments at the Golden Globes throughout history, which gained massive popularity online.

Ricky Gervais’ monologue

At the 2020 Golden Globes, the British comedian who’s recognized for his quick wit and jokes, stirred quite a buzz with his playful humor on stage. Over time, he’s been notorious for holding a beer in one hand while boldly and bluntly jabbing at various A-list celebrities without regret.

In a humorous manner, an alum from The Office (British version) didn’t shy away from mocking the oversized egos of certain high-profile individuals and the inconsistencies in their professional world. During his performance, nothing was taboo, and celebrities like Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, and Bruce Willis encountered some sharp wit. Regrettably for them, the 2020 Golden Globes marked his final appearance on stage, and those present were relieved by this development.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez’s gossip session 

At the Golden Globes 2024, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez’s lively catch-up was undoubtedly the star attraction. Notably, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s passionate display during the event trended significantly online as well.

If you’re online, you’ve likely come across the instance that had many people honing their lip-reading abilities. According to an expert in reading lips, Gomez appeared to be discussing her encounter with the actor from Dune and his cosmetics empire partner.

 

Jennifer Coolidge’s relatable acceptance speech

At the 2023 Golden Globes ceremony, the actress received an award for her role in The White Lotus. During her heartfelt speech acknowledging Mike White, the show’s creator, she delivered a witty remark that resonated deeply. “Even my neighbors are discussing topics like this,” she said with a chuckle. “I was never asked to a single party on my hill, and now everybody seems to be extending invitations!” she exclaimed back then.

 

Cate Blanchett’s Drunk Speech

At the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, the actress received recognition for her outstanding role in Blue Jasmine. In her heartfelt speech, she admitted that her joyous mood wasn’t solely due to winning the award; instead, it stemmed from the vodka she had consumed earlier that night.

1) In an amusing manner, she mentioned a well-known Los Angeles monument and concluded with a lewd remark concerning Judy Garland. Subsequently, during later interviews, Blanchett admitted to being drunk and expressed hope that she hadn’t said or done anything she regretted too much.

 

Sandra Oh calls out Emma Stone for whitewashing role in Aloha

At the 2019 Golden Globe Awards, Sandra Oh teamed up with Andy Samberg as co-hosts. Throughout the evening, they both provided numerous humorous remarks. One of her most memorable jokes was directed at Emma Stone, who was nominated for a role in Aloha. In this film, Stone, who is white, played a character of mixed Asian descent.

At the conclusion of the joke, someone called out an apology that didn’t get caught on film. Later on, it was revealed that this unexpected response came from Stone herself.

 

Beyonce being fashionably late

Although nominated in the Best Original Song category at the 2020 event for her contribution to The Lion King’s “Spirit,” Queen Bey decided to arrive late, entering discreetly as her award was about to be announced.

1) Kate McKinnon ushered in Ellen DeGeneres as they presented the Carol Burnett Award at the Golden Globes. Even though Beyoncé, the “Single Ladies” star, didn’t take home the award, her surprising entrance is considered one of the most memorable moments of the ceremony.

 

Seth Meyers calls out Hollywood

At the 2018 event, Meyers stood prominently as the #MeToo movement reached its peak, with industry figures like Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein being accused. In a humorous manner, Meyers spoke up against Hollywood’s history of predatory behavior, remarking, “Let’s talk about the elephant that isn’t in the room – Harvey Weinstein.

 

Jennifer Lopez and Jeremy Renner

One of the most amusing and debated instances in Golden Globes history unfolded when Renner discreetly admired his co-presenter JLo and made a surprising comment, leaving everyone astonished. During the moment when they were deciding who should open the envelope, JLo asked if she could do it, to which she said, “I’ve got the nails.” Intrigued by her plunging neckline, Renner quipped, “You’ve got the statues, too.” Although the audience reacted with a gasp, Lopez felt more flattered than taken aback.

 

Jodie Foster (sort of) came out of the closet

In 2013, the actress accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, a moment that became noteworthy as she publicly declared her sexuality during her speech. Although Jodie Foster had been open about being a lesbian since ancient times, this was the first time she spoke openly about her personal life on stage. She acknowledged her former partners and other significant people in her life during her acceptance speech.

 

Tina Fey and Amy Pohler

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d say if there’s anyone who masterfully skewers people with humor, it’s this legendary duo that rivals even the wit of Ricky Gervais. Time and again, they’ve left audiences in stitches when performing together on stage, making it challenging to single out one iconic moment among many. However, at the 2014 award ceremony, these two comediennes effortlessly skewered A-list celebrities such as George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others with impeccable timing and sharp humor.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that the captivating film “Gravity” has been nominated for the best film award. This cinematic masterpiece tells a poignant tale from my perspective: I’d choose the infinite expanse of space over an additional moment with a woman my age.
