BeyoncĂ© is being slammed on social media for remaining seated when Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor in a Motion Picture â Drama for his role in âJokerâ at the 2020 Golden Globes on Sunday night.
Stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Ellen DeGeneres and Phoenixâs fiancĂ©e, Rooney Mara, could all be seen standing up and cheering for Phoenix as he went onstage to accept the award.
However, BeyoncĂ© â who was nominated for Best Original Song for âSpiritâ from âThe Lion Kingâ â noticeably did not get up from her seat.
But now everyone on Twitter is fighting about the moment, with some people out here thinking it was high-key shady of Beyoncé not to stand. Honestly, most of the tweets are too rude to to include, but here are a couple:
Some viewers tweeted that the âSorryâ singerâs actions were âdisrespectfulâ and ârude.â
One person said, â@beyonce Youâre a joke for not standing up for Joaquin Phoenix.
But another stood up for BeyoncĂ© and argued that perhaps the singerâs gown would have âbeen a pain to get out of her chair with and then gather it to sit down,â adding, âMaybe it wasnât a statement.â
What is your opinion?
