THE SUBSTANCE is making headlines, not only for the gore and the storyline but also for winning the BAFTA Award for Best Makeup & Hair.

The event took place just this week, and THE SUBSTANCE managed to nab nominations for three awards, and went home with two. Variety reports that the director, Coralie Fargeat, tried to opt for practical effects instead of digital CGI wherever possible, mainly because “70-80% of what you see is practical,” he told the outlet.

Fans, however, have since begun losing their minds over the award going to this Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley project, with so many weighing in with hilarious opinions and remarks. In that honor, we've rounded up all of the best ones to make your day even better.

THE SUBSTANCE wins BAFTA Award for Best Makeup & Hair: Fans go ballistic and react in the most hilarious way

Check out what one user pointed out, and even gave an image for reference:

"Yet it has no hair or makeup"

Even more chimed in to make the comments section all that much more funnier:

"Looks like me in the morning," one user joked, with the same reference image.
"Me waking up after my Saturday bender," someone else quipped.
"I just lost my appetite," another user jokingly shared.
"Me when my lipstick smudged for real," yet another joined the hilarious discourse.

Seemingly everyone had a lot to say, and while a large number of the comments expressed support and well wishes for the cast and the make-up artists, others kept poking fun at the image, while some even managed to relate to it in weird ways:

"Gurl she’s not even wearing makeup in that photo," one user humorously pointed out.
"I see no best hair," another hilariously chimed in.
"Damn.. and I just wake up looking like this everyday anyway and ain’t ever won anything for it. >;3," someone else jokingly joined the discourse.

One user jokingly questioned the hair part of the category with an eerie, yet hilarious, GIF from the movie:

Yet another echoed the sentiments with a reference image and a hilarious caption:


Hilariously enough, scores online were in on a running gag that the reference image from THE SUBSTANCE bears a striking resemblance to Nicki Minaj, when in fact, it does not.
