Unlike last year’s Golden Globes or December’s The Wiz Live!, NBC’s telecast of the 2016 Golden Globes was dragged unrelenting by Twitter – and deservingly so, according to initial recaps.
From a number of transphobic jokes to a surprise appearance by an orange Mel Gibson to Giuliana Rancic just in general, the show was all kinds of a mess.
That’s not to say there weren’t highlights: From Maura Tierney’s Celine glasses to Lady Gaga’s win for American Horror Story: Hotel to Judith Light’s pantsuit, the night was not entirely a disaster.
Twitter, true to form, was in no short supply of opinions on everything from Carol’s bizarre shut-out to uncovering who was behind the “WERQ GAGA,” heard as the Lady herself sauntered her way up to the stage.
Below, 100 of Twitter’s most pop off-worthy tweets.
