Actor, comedian, and writer Kumail Nanjiani, whose breakout feature film The Big Sick has received rave reviews, has the best response to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association giving him and his film zero Golden Globes nominations. As star and director of the film, he took matters into his own hands, graciously handling Monday morning’s snub with a playful tweet in support of the project.

Nanjiani decided to "prove" that he has the support of one of America’s foremost directors… sort of.

Hey gang. This is Steven Spielberg tweeting from Kumail’s phone. My fave movie this yr was The Big Sick. It’s avail on Amazon Prime & iTunes & all that. Great movie to watch w the fam. I watched it w my family (the Spielbergs) & we all loved it. Handing phone back to Kumail now.

Another director decided to play alone with Nanjiani's joke.

But then Nanjiani responded! Or was it Nanjiani?

We want to see Last Jedi too!

But then Rian got all sweet on us and we can't handle it.

Awww, you guys!

Nanjiani's joke quickly became a Hollywood trending meme.

It began to spin out of control.

Too much fake news to handle!

While others in Hollywood suspected something was fishy about the "Steven Spielberg" endorsement.

Suspected of less than honorable behavior, Nanjiani double-downed on his version of the truth, and nothing but the truth.

Deadline published a tongue-in-cheek report, doubted the authenticity of that Spielberg tweet. Nanjiani, we mean Spielberg, responded in the best way possible.

Hey @DEADLINE, Steven Spielberg tweeted that! I’ll give the phone back to him.

This is Steven (Spielberg.) I tweeted that. I directed Jaws, ET, BFG. See? I can name 3 of my films. It has to be me. Lincoln. That’s 4. That’s enough proof for you to retract.https://t.co/Ck2BQMgu9j

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
