Hugh Jackman Has Awkward Reaction To James Franco Beating Him To Golden Globe

He struggled to hide his true feelings.

Hugh Jackman's hilarious reaction to being overlooked for a Golden Globe in favour of James Franco has gone viral. The two actors were nominated in the 'Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy' category for their roles in The Disaster Artist and The Greatest Showman respectively. Franco was announced as the winner, with his speech seeing him bring Tommy Wiseau - who he played in The Disaster Artist - up on stage. However, Twitter users were quick to pick up on the 49-year-old Australian looking less than impressed as he watched from the gallery. https://twitter.com/hubwub/status/950193181358018560 https://twitter.com/standingingrace/status/950239248728272896 https://twitter.com/LLowndesy888/status/950205599706316800 https://twitter.com/MrFilmkritik/status/950228866672529408 Others pointed out that his response was similar to the episode of Friends where Joey Tribbiani fails to pick up a 'Soapie' award. https://twitter.com/nygmalpha/status/950195351520194560 https://twitter.com/bxtchiddleston/status/950190270502572032 During his acceptance speech Franco, 39, thanked his family and friends, including his brother Dave Franco. He said: “Finally my brother, when I went to NYU I always said I wanted my own Coen brother, someone to collaborate with. “I realise this year I had my own Franco brother. I love him more than anything. Thanks to my mother for giving him to me.”
