Check Our Feed: Comedians React to the Golden Globes. See What They Thought of Seth, Oprah, Kirk and More.
We love our Twitter feed. We follow 2100 comedians on Twitter, plus have a few lists to keep track of the best of the best, so you can’t beat our feed when it comes to reading the funniest reactions to major events. Last night, the stars came out for the Golden Globes and there was plenty for comedians to talk about.
The focus of the night was the women’s rights revolution just beginning in Hollywood, women wearing black, and #timesup, and along with that went the big questions of “How Will Seth Meyers hold up as a white male host?” and “Which woman will make the most powerful speech?” and “who won’t wear black?” The big news of the night of course, was Oprah, who overshadowed all and filled our feed with a rallying cry of Oprah 2020. Comedians aaaalmost universally loved Oprah last night. To see who wasn’t impressed scroll down.
The other universal theme in our feed last night was that everyone who was tweeting thought Seth Meyers killed it with his monologue, particularly for his “first dog in space” joke. “There’s a new era underway,” he said, “and I can tell because it’s been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood. By the way, a special hello to hosts of other upcoming awards shows who are watching me tonight like the first dog they shot into outer space.” There may have been a few groans in the room for some of Seth’s lines, but our Twitter feed was 100% groan free.
Watch the monologue here, and then scroll down to see what comedians were saying during the 75th Annual Golden Globes Awards ceremony.

.@DebraMessing calls out network to its face for paying men more than women. So much more interesting than “Who are you wearing?” pic.twitter.com/R6tNTJDutx #GoldenGlobes #timesup

Can’t wait for all of the result politically charged acceptance speeches at the Golden Globes because award shows are such great platforms for people to talk politics.

the facebook live stream of the golden globes red carpet is more painful than a dozen ryan seacrest's kicking me in the vagina #GoldenGlobes
— Julia Hladkowicz (@juliacomedy) January 8, 2018
As many folks watch the #GoldenGlobes and tear apart the “Hollywood elite” online, Please remember that many, many of the actresses in attendance have to face their perpetrators tonight and shake their hands or hug them (yuck) to keep their living. Their jobs. Feed their families

That Rose McGowan, Mira Sorvino, Ashley Judd… none of these women are present on the red carpet and, instead, I PROMISE YOU, you're hearing from stars who were silent or complicit in the abuse of women but are now saying all the right things- this is what I have a problem with.

Shout out to every entertainment website employee working uncompensated overtime to "cover" awards show season. I wish for you photo galleries that do big numbers (and a new job that values your labor). #GoldenGlobes

How long do you think Nicole Kidman has to wait for Keith Urban to get ready when they go to events like this? #goldenglobes
— Neal Brennan (@nealbrennan) January 8, 2018
If the director of the #goldenglobes is a man, good luck playing any woman off tonight.

Hey while we are updating attitudes towards women in Hollywood can we also update this Golden Globes “in between” music? #goldenglobes

The Awards and the Winners
Even elizabeth moss isn't a good enough actor to pretend to be surprised by this win. #GoldenGlobes

You know Maggie Gyllenhaal brought a book to the Golden Globes.
— Joel Kim Booster (@ihatejoelkim) January 8, 2018
I can't believe Hollywood was brave enough to give an award to a show about a jew doing stand up. (Also one of the best shows of the year!) #brave #MrsMaisel
— Seth Herzog (@Thezog) January 8, 2018
Elizabeth Moss is a great actress and in my top three favorite Scientologists. #GoldenGlobes2018

Rosanne had an opportunity to tell the truth about 9/11 and nothing. She has been turned by the deep state. #GoldenGlobes
— chris laker (@ChrisLaker) January 8, 2018
The #GoldenGlobes are so rushed that celebrity presenters only have time to give a disapproving political glare.

“Tommy Wiseau! We made #TheDisasterArtist and want you at the #goldenglobes2018 – What? No, you can’t sit at our table, that’s too much. Then it’s not a joke anymore. Too real.”
— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) January 8, 2018
Hard to say "You're no one in this town." more brazenly than James Franco doing a Tommy Wiseau impression to Tommy Wiseau's face.
— Josh Gondelman (@joshgondelman) January 8, 2018
James Franco just “stop short” Tommy Wisseau #GoldenGlobes

I don’t know what’s harder for me to accept: That Trump is president or seeing Game of Thrones actors dressed fancily at award shows.

Tom Selleck looks happier to be in that reverse mortgage commercial than Denzel Washington looks to be at the #GoldenGlobes.

Frances McDormand looks just as pissed having won as she does in the film. She never bullsh*ts. All dignity. #GoldenGlobes
