Netizens are less than pleased with how Sofia Vergara reacted to Jodie Foster’s triumphant win at the Golden Globes where Vergara was nominated for the same award Foster won.
Hollywood legend Jodie Foster emerged victorious with an award at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills, California on January 5, 2025. However, a playful reaction to her win from fellow industry heavy hitter Sofia Vergara rubbed online viewers the wrong way, as some feel it took attention away from Foster’s incredible accomplishment.

A video shared online by Entertainment Tonight captured the Golden Globe audience erupting into applause when Foster’s name was announced as the winner in the category for Best Performance by a Female Actor Lead in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television.

However, as Foster made her way onto the stage, a vehement voice from the crowd broke through the excitement — and it belonged to none other than Vergara. The “Hot Pursuit” star could be heard yelling, “No, no!” from her seat as Foster approached the microphone.

The moment, intended to be lighthearted, drew laughter from some in the room, but it didn’t stop there. As Foster began her acceptance speech, Vergara’s heckle continued, with her shouting, “Give me one!” — a remark that visibly caught Foster off guard and made her chuckle mid-sentence.

Smiling warmly, Foster acknowledged the playful interruption, laughing along with the crowd as she graciously responded, “I know, I know.”
The actress then went on to deliver a heartfelt speech about her journey in the industry, expressing gratitude for being able to celebrate her accomplishments at this stage in her career.

“The greatest thing about being this age and being in this time is having a community of all these people — especially you, Sofia,” remarked Foster, her gaze briefly locking with Vergara, whom she pointed to.
