"He’s so real": Fans react hilariously as Luca Guadagnino leaves the Golden Globes after losing

Luca Guadagnino takes a loss like a champ, right? Wrong. The dude straight-up ghosted the Golden Globes. One second he’s there, the next, he’s out the backdoor like he just realized he left the oven on.

As soon as his film lost to Emilia Pérez for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Guadagnino went full-speed ahead, dodging the crowd. He didn’t even bother to make eye contact with anyone. Not one glance, not a wave—just a straight-up “nah, I’m out.”

Naturally, the internet had a field day. One X user tweeted, “He’s so real because I too would leave if I lost to one of the worst movies of the year.”

Imagine showing up to a great party wearing your best outfit only for someone else, clad in a hoodie and sweatpants, to win the "Best Dressed" award.

A user commented: "The way the only big noise this movie made was selena's spanish line delivery 😭"

Another user chimed in to say: "His movie wasn’t even that good either."

A user said: "The way he’s rushing out of there is killing me."

One user mentioned: "The worst one in its category winning is just crazy work 💀"

A comment read: "Imagine losing to a movie you probably didn’t even finish watching."

"Honestly, taking the L to that movie would haunt me forever. I’d leave the industry too. 💀😩", another comment read.

Challengers vs. Emilia Pérez

Let’s get into the Challengers vs. Emilia Pérez showdown, which had everyone talking.

Guadagnino’s Challengers, starring Zendaya, was supposed to be the underdog-turned-champion. A tennis drama full of love, rivalry, and ambition, it was as emotionally intense as it was visually stunning.

Critics appreciated the film’s depth, particularly Zendaya’s performance, though some people thought the characters could’ve used a little more seasoning. But overall, still a strong contender.

Enter Emilia Pérez. Directed by Jacques Audiard, this Spanish-language musical comedy is a whole different animal.

The film dives into trans identity with a colorful mix of humor, music, and a whole lot of heart. It has originality, creativity, and a fresh perspective that critics just could not resist.

The film swept the Golden Globes—winning five awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Zoe Saldaña took home Best Supporting Actress for her part.

Background of Golden Globes 2025

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards took place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on January 5, 2025. Nikki Glaser made history by being the first woman to host solo.

But while she was doing her thing, Emilia Pérez was out here taking names and winning everything in sight. Five awards and four Golden Globes? It wasn’t even a competition at that point.

While Challengers earned some solid praise for its cinematography, sound design, and Zendaya’s show-stealing performance, the movie didn’t quite strike the chord it needed to take home the top awards.
