Mens Hollywoods A-list (og en snedig Fiji Water-pige) snackede hors d’oeuvre og tyllede champagne til gårsdagens Golden Globes, sad Twitter-domstolens tusinde vakse jurymedlemmer naturligvis klar ved tasterne hjemme i stuerne, parate til at opsnappe og udskamme potentielt anstødelige retoriske finker der måtte flyve af fadet i spotlyset.
Og det betød kontant afregning ved kasse et for blandt andre ‘Eighth Grade’-stjernen Elsie Fisher, vært Andy Samberg, Golden Globe-vinder Christian Bale og rød løber-intervieweren Ryan Seacrest, hvis udtalelser – og et enkelt armbånd – fik Twitter til at gløde i løbet af natten. Vi gennemgår dramaet:
15-årigt stortalent shames for at elske ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
Den unge skuespillerinde Elsie Fisher fra 2018’s umådeligt fine indiefilm ‘Eighth Grade’ var ovenud begejstret for at være til Golden Globes, hvor hun selv var nomineret i kategorien bedste skuespillerinde i en musical eller komedie.
Og selvom hun ikke hjemtog statuetten var hun fuld af kærlighed til de øvrige nominerede, i særdeleshed yndlingsfilmen ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Da Bryan Singers Freddie Mercury-biopic således noget overraskende snuppede trofæet for bedste dramafilm, tweetede Fisher ekstatisk:
IM SO HAPPY RAMI MALEK AND BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WON GOLDEN GLOBES IM THRILLED TONIGHT IS THE BEST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Elsie Fisher (@ElsieKFisher) January 7, 2019
Men knap havde Fishers fingre sluppet mobilen før det tikkede ind med vrede kommentarer fra Twitter-følgere, der mindede skuespillerinden om krænkelsesanklagerne mod instruktør Bryan Singer og det faktum, at denne forlod ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ i vanære inden optagelserne sluttede (dog angiveligt først og fremmest grundet kreative uoverensstemmelser med hovedrollestjernen Rami Malek):

Elsie,we adore you, but please educate yourself (Rami is lovely though).
— Altre stelle (@Altre_stelle) January 7, 2019
Fisher undskyldte herefter i et par nye tweets:
Why is everyone being so mean about this? I’m genuinely sorry if I did something wrong :(
— Elsie Fisher (@ElsieKFisher) January 7, 2019
My thoughts on this- please educate me in the future if I do something problematic. I want to better myself and grow! I was also vaguely aware the director of said film was bad but had no other information as to why he was considered such or what he had done. I know now. https://t.co/kMGFl2xvpj

… Men hun blev også forsvaret af adskillige andre brugere:
All these woke people claiming they know what they’re talking about with BR, picking on someone celebrating her night celebrating movies. Crawl back into your troll caves. Leave her alone.
— La Forza del Destino (@Forza_Destino) January 7, 2019
You sad human beings, attacking a kid for appreciating a movie she liked. Terrible people.
Don’t worry about them, Elsie, and great job in Eight Grade, it was an emotional surreal portrayal you did there.

Wow, I must have missed the memo where abusing and cyber-bullying a 14-year-old girl stops pedophilia and child abuse in Hollywood.

Sexchikane-anklagede Ryan Seacrest bærer Time’s Up-armbånd
Den før så populære E! Entertainment-vært fik en speget sag på halsen i 2018, da en tidligere personlig stylist anklagede ham for sexchikane. Seacrest nægtede sig skyldig, men hans faste gig som interviewer på Oscars røde løber blev ikke desto mindre farvet af den negative omtale, hvorfor flere kvindelige stjerner undgik hans mikrofon.
I går tonede Seacrest så atter frem på skærmen, nu iført et Time’s Up-armbånd – som han lige så godt kunne have båret som en løkke om halsen, at dømme efter Twitters reaktioner:
Ryan Seacrest showing off his #TimesUp bracelet. Help. pic.twitter.com/IFzCIinkJY

Sandra Oh: “Do I get the honor of ripping Ryan Seacrest’s Times Up bracelet off his person?”
Jodie Cormier: “Be the Villanelle I know you can be. But if you need me, I’m close.” #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/gU3QQm8pEc— mikalapaula (@mikalapaula) January 6, 2019
I am beyond disgusted that Ryan Seacrest has just skated on his accusation.
Why are people talking to him?
My blood is boiling.
Folks the key to change is persistence. We can’t stop standing with the women who are shouting their truth.— Melissa Silverstein (@melsil) January 7, 2019
someone on the red carpet who will call Ryan Seacrest out for wearing a #TimesUp wristband when his own harmful behavior is part of the problem #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/tnmWhCHg3N

Christian Bales takketale forarger gudfrygtige republikanere
Det vakte stor moro i salen da Golden Globe-vinder Christian Bale takkede selveste Satan for at have inspireret ham i rollen som den tidligere vicepræsident Dick Cheney i Adam McKays ‘Vice’ (premiere den 31. januar). Men ikke alle fandt joken lige morsom, og da slet ikke Dick Cheneys datter Liz Cheney:
Satan probably inspired him to do this, too. Christian Bale arrested for ‘assault on mother and sister’| The Independent. https://t.co/kesnNno9Zv
— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) January 7, 2019
Og hun var ikke den eneste forargede republikaner i cyberspace:
This clown has done nothing for our country. He lives in the lap of luxury while playing Mr. Liberal. Meanwhile, he attacks with vile a man who has spent decades protecting the nation. Christian Bale is just another Hollywood punk. He can shove… https://t.co/N8q9KbWhne
— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 7, 2019
I’m not surprised that Christian Ba’al thanked Satan for his award, I’m disgusted. https://t.co/UQhQibzb8E

Turned on Golden Globes for 2 minutes & Christian Bale just thanked satan for inspiration in his role playing Dick Cheney. Really????? pic.twitter.com/X7wiKo6Yxx
— Kaya Jones (@KayaJones) January 7, 2019
Christian Bale just referred to Dick Cheney as a “charisma free asshole”–and thanked “Satan” for providing the inspiration to play him. Gee, some people in America consider Cheney a bright, principled, conservative public servant and loving husband and father.#GoldenGIobes

Christian Bale surely must know that the Hollywood elite actually love Satan and see God as the bad guy, right?
— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) January 7, 2019
No need for God to render him over to depravity, he has given himself over to satan and is a lost soul forever. https://t.co/aT6m9TRR61 #FoxNews

Den Mørke Fyrste himself var Gud hjælpe mig også på linjen:
BREAKING:
Statement from Satan’s PR team –
“While Satan appreciates a talented actor like Christian Bale namedropping him in an acceptance speech, the Prince of Darkness denounces and disavows war criminal Dick Cheney.”

Andy Sambergs selvmordsjoke skyder forbi målet
Spoiler for ‘A Star Is Born’.
Værtsduoen Sandra Oh og Andy Samberg leverede en lettere søvndyssende åbningsmonolog uden et gran af kontrovers, men da Samberg umiddelbart efter skulle introducere aftenens første presenters, Bradley Cooper og Lady Gaga fra ‘A Star Is Born’, smed han en humoristisk bemærkning om Coopers karakter Jackson Maines selvmord: »Han opdagede Ally og hun fandt ham i garagen«. Men man kan ikke tillade sig at joke med selvmord, mente en række Twitter-brugere:
The remark by Andy Samberg about Ally discovering Jackson in the garage was beyond tasteless.
— Annabel House (@annabelcpa) January 7, 2019
“he discovered ally and she discovered him in the garage” ANDY WTF that ain’t right. I love you, but that ain’t right. bad taste. #goldenglobes #AStarIsBorn
— ℳ ? (@sasscatalog) January 7, 2019
Wondering why the Golden Globes’ writers think it was appropriate for Andy Samberg to make a joke about suicide in the first 10 mins of the Golden Globes. #shameonyou #GoldenGlobes2019
— Nicole Clark (@nicolec54) January 7, 2019
#GoldenGlobes2019 that is NOT funny what so ever. Even if it’s just a scene in a movie. How gross are you @thelonelyisland #AndySamberg suicide is not a joke or funny what so ever

Intet Hollywood-knald eller fuser går Twitter-næserne forbi. Heller ikke i 2019.
