In one of the biggest upsets in Golden Globe history, Glenn Close beat Lady Gaga for Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama at last night’s ceremony and perhaps nobody was more surprised than the winner herself.
The award is Close’s 15th Golden Globe nom and third win over the span of her 45-year career. She has never won an Academy Award, despite being nominated six times.
As to be expected, Gaga fans are livid.

We’re guessing Close isn’t too worried about those mean Little Monsters, however. Last night’s award was well-deserved and long overdue, not to mention it helps pave the path for her to be a likely frontrunner this Oscars season.
And now, the memes…

Sheesh. GaGa fans sure are petty.

The “I am not going to be ignored” line is timeless and eternal. It remains with you forever once you have seen Fatal Attraction.

Glenn Close totally deserved that win. All the fuss is only being made by people who can only remember the most recent thing they have seen while Close’s movie was out almost a year ago.

I’m so glad Glen Close won. She was great in the wife! A Star is Born wasn’t very good. It was more about his downfall than about her rise. The 80s version was much much better! And Remi absolutely deserved best actor as Freddie Mercury!!!

I felt this exact same way in 1970 when John Wayne won the Oscar for “True Grit” over Dustin Hoffman for “Midnight Cowboy” as Ratzo Ricco. It was indeed a robbery.

Once again, the photos accompanying the heading of this story are very misleading. The second photo is Gaga getting emotional after she won a GG for best song. She did NOT get emotional when Glenn Close won the award, in fact, she congratulated her like a professional as Close made her way to the stage.
