The 2025 Golden Globes just served us a piping hot plate of award show drama, and Sofia Vergara was the spicy garnish we didn’t know we needed.
Picture this: Sofia and Jodie Foster are both nominated in the same category—Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Made-for-TV Movie. (Honestly, they need to shorten that title before it wins its own award.) Sofia was up for her role in Griselda, while Jodie snagged the win for True Detective.
Now, let’s set the stage. Sofia had already been bested by Jodie at the Emmys last year. Yep, two L’s, same opponent. It’s like losing twice to the same boss in a video game, but this boss has an Oscar on her shelf. So, when Jodie’s name was announced at the Globes, Sofia was not about to let the moment slide quietly into award show history.
From her seat in the audience, Sofia could be heard yelling, “No, no! Not again! Give me one!” It was the kind of impromptu protest we all wish we had the guts to pull off at work when Karen from accounting gets another promotion.
Jodie, to her credit, took it like a champ, flashing her signature smile—part gracious winner, part what-is-even-happening-right-now? Sofia, meanwhile, proved once again that she’s the queen of comedic timing, even when she’s technically losing.
If you missed the moment, don’t worry—the Golden Globes are streaming on CBS, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who probably had a field day with that interaction. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, The Bear is leading in TV nominations, while Emilia Perez and The Brutalist are duking it out in the film categories.
But let’s be honest, the real winner tonight is Sofia Vergara’s sense of humor. Somebody, please, give her an award already—preferably one that Jodie isn’t also up for!
