 "Golden Globes 2020: Tom Hanks' unpleasant reaction to Ricky Gervais' opening monologue leads the meme epidemic")
This year, Golden Globe Awards witnessed a few surprising wins and climate change advocacy in acceptance speeches, along with some of the best meme-worthy expressions from the stars. The best picture went to 1917 , while Renée Zellweger won best actress for Judy , and Joaquin Phoenix beat out Adam Driver and Christian Bale to win best actor for Joker .

The first major award show of the year always delivers moments that lead to tons of tweets, whether they are candid reactions, clever quips, or near-instant GIFs that become long-lasting memes. Following are some of the best Twitter reactions to the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards For the 77th Golden Globe Awards, Ricky Gervais kicked off the ceremony by telling the audience his fifth time hosting would be his last, then proceeded to deliver an expletive-laced skewering of Hollywood’s elites. True to his reputation, Gervais opened the show on 5 January with a mix of evisceration and exasperation, pretending to confuse Joe Pesci for Baby Yoda, taking a dig at Felicity Huffman’s college admission scandal, calling the Hollywood Foreign Press Association racist, and declaring Netflix’s takeover of Hollywood.

Jennifer Aniston’s reaction to Brad Pitt’s award acceptance speech The best part of any award ceremony is the winners’ acceptance speeches and the reaction shots from the audience.

When Pitt cheekily qipped, “I wanted to bring my mom (to the Globes) but I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating,” the camera lens stayed glued to Aniston the entire time during that remark.
