Golden Globes 2017: Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield’s kiss made the Golden Globes great again

If you blinked, you missed it.

During Ryan Gosling’s walk to the stage to accept the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical, fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds was locking lips with Andrew Garfield. It was hard to see in real time, but here’s a quick video of it (check the left-hand corner of the screen):

And for good measure, here’s a GIF of the moment:

If NBC had done the camera shot where it displays little squares of all the nominees during the winning moment (along with all the nominees’ reactions) we would’ve gotten a better shot of the man kiss. The smooch was a fun little bit in a night that was almost lulled to sleep by host Jimmy Fallon, and it was a nod to the irreverent comic book pairing of pansexual Deadpool and Spider-Man (Garfield played Spider-Man in two films) known as “SpideyPool.”

If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is looking for a duo (à la Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) to host next year’s Golden Globes, they might want to give those two a call.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
