The surest sign that a new year has dawned is the start of a brand-new awards-season cycle, and 2025’s officially kicked off with the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday.
It was a big night, filled with all the things that I, personally, cannot get enough of—Jean Smart winning awards (I loved learning that the Hacks star has never had a day job other than acting), movie memes brought to life, and Emma Stone in a pixie cut—but as usual, one of the night’s most entertaining perks was the social-media discourse it sparked.
Below, find the very best social media reactions to the 2025 Golden Globes—because, let’s be real: Dissecting the event on your phone from the couch is at least half of the fun.
