Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez talking at the Golden Globes is now a perfect meme

It’s the perfect meme format.

It’s the clip that keeps on giving: Selena Gomez leans down to tell Taylor Swift something while the two close friends were at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Then, Swift’s jaw drops open in shock. There was a lot of speculation and lip-reading going on, with talk that Gomez told Swift that she tried to get a photo with fellow actor Timothée Chalamet, but was told no by Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.

Again: That’s all speculation at this point. But born out of that is the perfect meme format of someone telling something to another person that shocks them.

Here’s a roundup:

Freddie Freeman randomly photobombed Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes and MLB fans thought it was hilarious

An absolutely perfect photobomb.

When Freddie Freeman signed a longterm contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers two seasons ago, the All-Star first baseman was going to experience a different lifestyle than the one he was accustomed to in Atlanta. Fast forward to 2024, and Freeman seems to be doing just fine with Los Angeles’ celebrity culture.

He might’ve accidentally earned himself the best photobomb at the Golden Globes in the process.

At some point during Sunday’s festivities, 12-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift posed for a photo, and the Dodgers first baseman could be seen in the background making eye contact with the camera. Why was Freddie Freeman at the Golden Globes? It doesn’t matter! Mookie Betts was also in attendance. That photobomb was too good.

Fans loved how Freeman unexpectedly made his way into that Taylor Swift photo.

Issa Rae met two young ‘Barbie’ fans on the Golden Globes red carpet and their reaction is amazing

This deserves five stars. The wholesome content meter is off the charts.

Barbie actor Issa Rae meeting two young fans on the Golden Globes carpet might be the best thing you’ll see all day. It’s just so incredibly wholesome.

I’m about to admit something I have told very few people. I was a Barbie collector growing up. And not just any Barbies, but really cool ones like the Spice Girls and the Barbie Princess Doll Special Millennium Edition.
(I was deep in the TRENCHES, OK?)

So, when the Barbie movie premiered, I was beside myself. As you can imagine, my inner child was so happy to see many different versions of Barbie on the screen. That’s probably the same thing two precious children felt when they ran into Barbie cast member and Hollywood star Issa Rae.

Recess Therapy, a prominent YouTube channel dedicated to asking kids and celebrities to talk about important topics, like peeing your pants and the beauty of corn, was on-site Sunday at the Golden Globes when host Julian Shapiro-Barnum and two of his pals stopped to chat with Rae.

What happens next is magical.

Kieran Culkin has a 2-word NSFW troll for Pedro Pascal on stage after Golden Globes win

Pedro Pascal was just minding his business when Kieran Culkin said absolutely not.

The Golden Globes produced many “what just happened?” moments, but none more highly underrated than Kieran Culkin taking a playful jab at Pedro Pascal.

On Sunday, fans were treated to Brie Larson wholesomely fangirling over Jennifer Lopez, a Suits reunion and Taylor Swift being less than amused over Jo Koy and his jokes.

However, Kieran Culkin wasn’t going to be upstaged by any of that because when he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role in Succession, he was ready with the jokes.

His acceptance speech was already off the rails when he told the audience he just burped and had indigestion, but then when he dove into how he arrived at that moment, he unleashed an old-school troll job on Pedro Pascal.

(Warning: NSFW language.)

Lip-readers think Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez talked about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at the Golden Globes

Did Selena Gomez ask Timothee Chalamet for a photo and Kylie Jenner said no?

Time to put your tin foil hats on … or to hire some professional lip readers.

Because we saw Selena Gomez saying SOMETHING to Taylor Swift at the 81st Golden Globes on Sunday night, and some folks who read lips think that something is juicy, especially given the way that Swift’s mouth opens at whatever Gomez said.

Some background: Kylie Jenner is reportedly dating actor Timothée Chalamet. And people think Gomez told Swift and Keleigh Teller that she tried to get a photo with Chalamet and Jenner said no.

In another clip, people think Teller exclaimed “with Timothée?!”

WHEW. If this is all true, that’s quite fascinating, isn’t it?

 

Lily Gladstone gave a heartwarming speech at this year’s Golden Globes for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon

It’s Lily Gladstone’s world, and we’re just happy to live in it.

Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone gave one the best speeches of the night at this year’s Golden Globes ceremony.

Winning in the Best Actress (Drama) category, Gladstone started her speech speaking the Blackfeet language before paying tribute to that “beautiful community” that raised and encouraged her and her mother for making sure she learned the Blackfeet language as a child.

She also thanked everyone who helped bring Martin Scorsese’s film to life, and she might well keep winning awards this season.

We’re considering her our favorite for Best Actress at the Oscars right now, and her moving speech only makes those chances stronger.

We’ll see how well Killers of the Flower Moon does overall at March’s Oscar ceremony, where it will earn its fair share of nominations, including Best Picture.

However, we feel very confident the film and Gladstone’s performance will live well past this awards season into the history of the medium.

5 Oscar takeaways from the 2024 Golden Globes, including Oppenheimer’s huge night

Oppenheimer had a heck of a night at the Golden Globes.

The 2024 Golden Globes have come and gone, with Christopher Nolan’s stellar epic Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ mind-bending dramedy Poor Things taking home the night’s top prizes for movies.

While comedian Jo Koy got poor notices for his opening monologue (including one from Taylor Swift), this year’s Globes ceremony did help us understand the pulse in the industry for this year’s Academy Awards just a bit better than we did before.

The night’s wins helped confirm some of our gut feelings and gave us a few other things to consider for the annual Oscar ceremony.

Let’s go through five big takeaways from the Globes, including which movie might deserve more attention than it’s been getting and which movie should be considered the Best Picture front-runner right now.

Brie Larson and Jennifer Lopez had the sweetest reaction to meeting each other at the Golden Globes

Well, this was a cool sight to see.

You never know how you’re going to react when you meet someone you admire, and actor Brie Larson couldn’t believe it when she had the chance to meet actor and musician Jennifer Lopez at the 2024 Golden Globes.

While talking with Entertainment Tonight on the Golden Globes red carpet, Larson met Lopez and became overwhelmed with emotion at the chance encounter, as was Lopez at Larson’s reaction.

It’s not often you get to see such a human reaction like this on something as formal as an awards show red carpet, but this interaction between Larson and Lopez really did hit the mark for tugging at the heartstrings.

Wow, this really was quite a meeting at this year’s Golden Globes, wasn’t it?

Who knows, maybe this moment will spark Larson and Lopez to work together on a film or television project sometime in the future. We know we’d be there on opening weekend to see how that project would turn out.

Taylor Swift’s devastating look at Jo Koy’s unfunny Golden Globes joke became an instant meme

YIKES

Comedian Jo Koy’s unfunny 2024 Golden Globes monologue didn’t do well with the viewers at home or in attendance at the Beverly Hilton, and musician Taylor Swift might’ve given Koy his harshest review.

When Koy took a dig at NFL game broadcasts showing Swift in attendance at various Kansas City Chiefs contests this year because of her dating tight end Travis Kelce, the camera cut to Swift looking very unamused and taking a sip of her drink.

It was the kind of blunt reaction that said a thousand words, as everyone who saw it could feel the annoyance from Swift at Koy’s joke.

We get it; if you’re going to joke about Swift while she’s in the room, could you at least make it even remotely funny?

Koy’s night was just not going well, and now he’s got one of the more devastating reactions from a guest in an awards crowd in some time.

You just know this glance is going to turn into a meme; Swift was right to give that look.
