  • The 81st Golden Globe Awards took place at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday.
  • "Oppenheimer" and "Succession" were the night's biggest winners.

The 2024 Golden Globe Awards marked major victories for some of 2023's biggest movies and TV shows, from "Oppenheimer" to "Succession."

But other than Jo Koy's controversial and groan-worthy monologue, the telecast itself was devoid of the kind of unexpected, meme-worthy celebrity moments pop-culture fans tune in hoping to catch a glimpse of.

Thankfully, photographers captured some memorable behind-the-scenes moments from the show, from Marvel reunions to surprising celebrity encounters.

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift were seemingly caught gossiping on-camera.

During a commercial break in the ceremony, Gomez came over to Swift's table to talk to the singer and Keleigh Teller, according to a video clip shared by The Hollywood Reporter on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Whatever Gomez shared with her friends must have been juicy, since both Swift and Teller have shocked expressions in the video, leading Swifties everywhere to start becoming lip-reading experts.

The only thing that can be heard in the clip is when Teller says "Timothy," which could be referring to "Wonka" star Timothée Chalamet, who had also attended the event.

Speaking of Timothée Chalamet, the "Dune" star turned the Hollywood event into Sunday date night with Kylie Jenner. According to Variety's Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh, the couple arrived after the first commercial break of the 2024 Golden Globes.

While they have not publicly confirmed their relationship, pictures and videos shared on social media show Chalamet and Jenner spending most of the night together.

Flavor Flav interacting with Angela Bassett, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, and Kevin Costner all on the same night was probably not on anyone's bingo card for 2024.
