Awards show season? More like meme season. I, for one, am happy for all of last night's winners at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, but let's be real—that’s not what you’re here for. This particular corner of the Internet, the story you're reading right now, is a safe space for anyone in need of a little giggle. And what better source of laughter than an awards show with a ton of buzzed A-listers? Really, we can thank awards shows for rolling around each year to remind us that celebrities are, well, weird. Just like us.
This year’s Grammy Awards certainly did not disappoint. From Trevor Noah's high-energy opening monologue, to Beyonce’s tardy arrival, to Ben Affleck's palpable boredom, to Bad Bunny somehow being well-dressed in just a T-shirt and jeans, we had it all. We saw hours of hilarious, show-stopping, and, at times, downright strange moments. I mean, really. Tell me. How did Ben Affleck manage to be caught looking that disinterested, that many times, in 4K? Someone get that man a Dunkaccino. Also: how did the Grammys manage to pull together such a fabulous performance for the 50th anniversary of hip-hop? Missy Elliot, Run-D.M.C., Salt-n-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Public Enemy, Nelly, Too $hort, and Busta Rhymes all in one place? For free?! Amazing. Without further ado, let's get into it. Here are the best memes from the 65th Grammy Awards.
