If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a gif must be worth at least a million (math!). With the advent of this bite-sized animated wonder, award shows have become less about who won what and more about who made what face. Whether you cheated the system and only watched the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler parts of last night’s Golden Globes or totally boycotted the whole thing, here are the gifs that will be finding their way into your texts and gchats soon.
Before the show even starts, Amal Alamuddin Clooney and her date are forced to watch E! correspondent Giuliana Rancic take a shot by herself, while Taylor Schilling from Orange is the New Black yawns in the background. The pity is palpable.
Jennifer Aniston stars in “The One Where Rachel Gropes Goldie Hawn’s Daughter.”
Emma Stone shows everyone how to be graceful when comedians are making fun of your bug eyes.
Jessica Chastain reacts to a Bill Cosby joke in a Taylor-Swift-just-won-another-award-and-is-super-duper-surprised kind of way. Check out her previous OMG-I’m-so-adorably-scandalized work.
Benedict Cumberbatch photobombs Meryl Streep. Apparently, this is his “thing”; he also photobombed famed iTunes hacker Bono at last year’s Oscars.

Prince ducklips his way onto the stage…
…and Viola Davis and Allison Janney correctly freak the F out. They are just like us!
Amal’s date breaks a nation of women’s hearts, while Amal serves Princess Diana grace and unbeatable eyebrow game.

That was fun, but it’s time to turn the page on this awards ceremony.
See y’all at the Oscars!
