Some even commented on the industry's plight.
Another X-user attacked Ariana Grande.
see when you dont rely on a pink press tour, crying for sympathy, and holding hands for promo you win awards @arianagrande
Nothing for Ariana (via thewrldisfcked/ X)
Zoe Saldaña fans clapped back at the Arianators.
Another user pointed out.
but arianators said she wouldn't win
It looks like the audience is already tired of the consecutive awards.
it became exausting at this point.
A user remarked skeptically.
this seems fishy…like for a film that everyone disliked and shes getting rewarded for it…and of all the films shes acted in, this is the one she sweeps?? ok
Zoe Saldaña was spotted in tears while receiving the BAFTA awards. She revealed,
“I was told not to cry by my children, so I’ll try. This is so validating and a true honor, because the very few times that I went for a part with a British accent or dialect coach, I was like, ‘This is not going to happen to you.’ Even though I have a lot of British friends, I find myself repeating all their phrases, and I know that I’m a pain in the a***.”
