Now that the Golden Globes have passed, it's time for that most cherished awards-season tradition: deconstructing stars' reactions to losing!
And this year, the award for Best Reaction to Losing inarguably goes to Amanda Seyfriend, who's gone viral for her hilarious response.
Fans have become obsessed with her reaction to losing the Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series to her colleague Michelle Williams.
Not only was it unbothered, but it sort of obliquely referenced the classic film that for many of us was our introduction to Seyfried, Mean Girls.
Williams had been favored to win the category from the jump for her heartfelt and often harrowing performance in Dying for Sex, the true story of Molly Kochan's quest to finally embrace her sexuality before dying of terminal cancer.
So fittingly, Seyfried was caught already preparing to clap for the winner before she was even announced, with her hands poised in midair.
Not, you know, sitting patiently in case she had to get up and have her big moment. She's just sitting there like "obviously I'm not winning LOL," staring at the table and pre-clapping, barely paying attention. Classically unbothered!
But the best part came when Seyfried realized that Williams wasn't even in attendance at the ceremony.
She burst out with, "Oh she's not here!," and you kind of can't help but be reminded of the classic Mean Girls moment when Damien yells, "she doesn't even go here!"
There was obviously no ill will in Seyfried's reaction, however. Her category was a real blockbuster of talent: She was up against not just Williams, but Claire Danes in The Beast in Me, Rashida Jones in Black Mirror, Sarah Snook All Her Fault, and Robin Wright in The Girlfriend.
Some years it's just an honor to be nominated, and this seemed to be one of those for Seyfried. Not a hater, just an unbothered queen not particularly impressed by all the pomp and circumstance, like a regular person!
And that feels particularly refreshing in these difficult times, which might be part of why her reaction resonates, especially coming on the heels of Seyfried's recent comments on politics.
Seyfried has vocally criticized ICE, called for more socialist policies in the U.S. and refused to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk "hateful," making her seem far more in line with most average Americans than those in Hollywood, most of whom have been notably silent about current events since Trump took office despite constantly bloviating about politics for decades prior.
Whatever the reason, people are crowning Seyfried as the new unbothered queen of Hollywood for her reaction to Williams' win.
May we all learn to be as unbothered as Amanda Seyfried.
