From tears to laughter to full-on cringes, the Golden Globes has always served up plenty of memorable moments.
Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield stole the spotlight when they both lost an award to Ryan Gosling during the 2017 ceremony and immediately embraced in a passionate kiss.
“I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost,” Garfield said days later while on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “It doesn’t matter, it’s how you play the game. He showed up, he gave his all. It doesn’t change anything in my heart.”
In December 2021, Garfield reflected on the surprise smooch. “It was a really fun moment. I said to him, ‘If you win, kiss me instead of Blake [Lively], your wife, because Blake was on the other side.’ He was like, ‘Amazing, let’s do it,’” Garfield recalled during Wired’s auto-complete interview video series.
Not every joke is memorable for the laughter, however. Seth Rogen made audiences cringe when he presented an award alongside Kate Beckinsale in 2011 and said, “Hello, I’m Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection.” Beckinsale chuckled uncomfortably. “How nice,” she replied.
