Anne Hathaway’s Over-The-Top Reaction To Barbra Streisand Charms Social Media
Anne Hathaway got visibly emotional at yet another awards show — but unlike at the 2013 Oscars, viewers were totally into it.
Barbra Streisand received a lifetime achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards Saturday night, and when the “Funny Girl” walked onto stage, Hathaway had quite the reaction.
The “Devil Wears Prada” star shot out of her seat before anyone else in the audience to give Streisand a standing ovation, and then began to weep.
Many people on X, formerly Twitter, found Hathaway’s response relatable.

And as one social media user put it, there’s a reason Streisand has earned so much hype:
