The 81st Golden Globes, which aired on CBS, had viewers taking to social media to share their opinions and reactions from the start. But it wasn’t all bad, the “Barbie” Movie had its moment, “The Bear” won big and there were quite a few reunions between former co-stars.

Here are the main takeaways from the evening and a few things you’ll probably want to know about because chances are there will be a major discussion about them in the office tomorrow.

1. Viewers were not fans of the monologue

Comedian Jo Koy hosted the 81st Golden Globes, and his opening monologue did not go over well online.

 

2. Taylor Swift’s reactions were better received than the jokes

Taylor Swift didn’t seem to be amused by Koy’s joke about her. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL… On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” said Koy.

The internet wasn’t a fan of the joke either, but they were a fan of Swift’s reaction.

But just to showcase Swift does have a sense of humor, here she is laughing at comedian Jim Gaffigan’s joke.

3. Oh, and speaking of Taylor Swift…

People loved this moment of her and Bill Hader taking a selfie.

Fans also love any time that Swift and her bestie Selena Gomez are together, so here’s the two Golden Globes nominees.

Similar to NFL fans, Golden Globes viewers just seemed to love every time Swift was on camera.

Swifties were also living for this behind-the-scenes moment that appeared to look like Swift was spilling some major tea.

4. The internet’s boyfriend Charles Melton made us melt

Melton first got the internet’s attention with his role as Reggie Mantle in the CW’s Riverdale. In 2019 he proved he had what it takes to be a leading man in his starring role in “The Sun Is Also a Star.” This year, he showcased his acting chops yet again in “May December” alongside Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman.

 

5. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were caught kissing on camera

While this isn’t the couple’s first public appearance, viewers weren’t sure if the two knew the cameras were still rolling during commercial breaks.

 

6. Come on Barbie, Let’s win a Golden Globe

After a Barbenheimer summer, Barbie was nominated for cinematic and box office achievement. Barbie ended up winning, and Taylor Swift, who was also nominated in the category for her concert film of the Eras Tour, led the standing ovation.

 

7. Ayo Edebiri’s acceptance speech

In 2023, Edebiri returned for season two of “The Bear” and starred in “Theater Camp” and “Bottoms.” Her acceptance speech after she won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series, won the hearts of viewers at home after she thanked her agents and manager’s assistants.

“The Bear” ended up being a big winner of the evening, Jeremy Allen White won for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy TV Series, and the show won Best Television Series for a Musical or Comedy.

8. Lily Gladstone’s historic win

Gladstone is the first Indigenous woman to win the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture – drama.

9. Jennifer Lawrence threatened to leave

The 2013 Queen of Memes, JLaw, brought a good laugh to viewers at home when the camera panned to her during her nomination category.

While Lawrence didn’t end up winning, it’s safe to say she wasn’t too disappointed because her friend Emma Stone took home the prize.

Somewhat related, people were bummed that they weren’t seated together.

10. Reunions were a theme

Is it the 2010s again? The Golden Globes seemed to reunite multiple memorable pairs.

Not only did the non-royal members of “Suits” cast show up, but Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, who starred as mother and daughter in “Mamma Mia!” had a brief run-in on the red carpet.

For “Hunger Games” fans, Jennifer Lawrence and Lenny Kravitz took a picture together.

“Suits” co-stars Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres presented Best Television Series Drama, and poked some jokes about the series getting a new fan base after it started streaming on Netflix.

Macht and Adams also had a fun preshow moment that included beatboxing.

11. The return of presenting duo Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig

The pair has been known to charm the crowd when they present together, and this year was no exception. Viewers loved the pair so much, that they couldn’t believe they weren’t the ones hosting.

12. Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo kissed

The two shared a quick peck after “Poor Things” won the award for Best Motion Picture for a Musical or Comedy.

13. People were still talking about the Red Carpet

While the show was airing, viewers were circling back on some of their favorite red carpet moments.
