The 81st Golden Globes ceremony has officially kicked off 2024’s award season.
With comedian Jo Koy hosting the event and a guest list brimming with stars like Jennifer Lopez, Emma Stone, and Meryl Streep, it’s only natural the night would produce some of the most memorable moments we’ll be reliving all year long. (See: Koy’s painfully awkward opening monologue, Taylor Swift’s reaction to a distasteful Kansas City Chiefs joke, and an unexpected Kylie Jenner cameo.)
Even while we’re tuned in to the show, we’re also usually refreshing X (formerly known as Twitter) more or less continuously, to catch all of the best live reactions to the night’s most attention-grabbing moments.
Scroll ahead to see the 30 funniest Twitter reactions to the 2024 Golden Globes.
Jo Koy's awkward opening monologue left many viewers cringing at home.

Swifties noticed that Taylor Swift seemed to have a less than pleased reaction to Koy poking fun at her Kansas City Chiefs game appearances.

Too late to add Jo Koy to the In Memoriam montage? I think Taylor just ended him. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/zxg3btxInw

Kylie Jenner attending the Globes as Timothée Chalamet's plus one seemed to at last legitimize their romance in the eyes of many X users.

Other surprising couple news of the night? Ali Wong and Bill Hader made their relationship Golden Globes official tonight, too.
Some of us did not know that Ali Wong and Bill Hader are dating and some of us need a moment to process.

X users were just as surprised as Elizabeth Debicki to hear the announcer unexpectedly say her name in the middle of the presenters's speech.
Interrupting a respectful conversation to yell the words “ELIZABETH DEBICKI” is so far the only queer representation I’ve seen at the Globes pic.twitter.com/l7V6ySPdx0

Ayo Edebiri gave a heartwarming shoutout to assistants during her acceptance speech for her first-ever Golden Globes win.
Ayo Edebiri may have broken new ground in acceptance speeches by thanking her managers' and agents' assistants who answer her "crazy, crazy e-mails." WELL PLAYED.

As a former talent manager's assistant.... Ayo shouting out assistants made me love her 100 times more than I already did... she is and always will be one of the GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!
