KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 — With hundreds of celebrities at the Golden Globes 2019, all dressed to their nines to impress, viewers across the world were grasped watching coverage of the show – but it wasn’t just the awards that got the Internet users talking.
Here’s a roundup of some of the best viral moments from the annual star-studded event:
1. The Fiji Water Girl stole the red carpet
If you’re looking for the star of the night, meet the Fiji Water Girl, who was clearly out there to steal some scenes on the red carpet.
The anonymous, ever-present young girl, sporting a strapless royal blue gown, appeared in the background of several (if not all) photos, proudly photobombing celebrities including Julianne Moore, Alyssa Milano, and Jeff Bridges.
To make things even better, the sultry-looking girl even made direct eye contact with the camera for each shot while holding a tray of Fiji water bottles.

2. Sneak-peek footage of Game of Thrones' final season
HBO celebrated the Golden Globe awards by releasing a brand new trailer for its 2019 slate which featured a first look at the fantasy drama’s eight and final season.
The 60-seconds footage is merely a brief scene but a crucial one as Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clark) arrive in Winterfell and meet up with Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner).
It’s going to be a very good year.

3. Lady Gaga gets roasted by the show’s hosts
Golden Globes 2019 hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg used their opening monologue to poke fun at Lady Gaga’s much-repeated “100 people in a room” anecdote. Gaga, however, took the joke in pace, calling out, “It’s true!”
For the uninitiated, in many interviews since the premier of A Star Is Born film in Oct, Gaga repeatedly told the same tale about working with Bradley Cooper, and how he took a chance by casting her in the drama.
4. Sandra Oh’s wins the Golden Globe and everyone’s heart
Diversity was, without doubt, front and centre at the Golden Globe Awards as Sandra Oh became the first Asian woman ever to host the show.
In an opening monologue, Oh praised the work of Hollywood and needed the first segment on an emotional note about improvements in diversity in the film and television industry.
The Canadian-Korean actress went on to win the award for Best Actress in a TV Drama called Killing Eve.
In her acceptance speech, Ho thanked her parents in Korean and bowed to them to show her gratitude.
