Golden Globes: Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, ‘The Martian’ Dominate Social Media

Onscreen and online, Lady Gaga won the Golden Globes.

The musician took home the award for best performance by an actress in a TV movie or miniseries on Sunday for her onscreen turn in the fifth installment of American Horror Story: Hotel. The role of the bloodthirsty (and incredibly well-dressed) hotel owner The Countess marked Gaga’s acting debut. 

Gaga’s win was the most popular moment of the awards show on Twitter, where the broadcast generated more than 4.4 million tweets globally.

Also of note were wins by The Revenant star Leonardo DiCaprio for best drama film actor, and Mr. Robot for best TV drama.

During the ceremony, the most-mentioned celebrities on Twitter were Gaga, Jennifer Lawrence and DiCaprio (Gaga and DiCaprio’s popularity probably fueled not only by their wins, but the viral moment that occurred when the singer brushed past the actor, who then made a face).

Gaga’s win was also the top moment of the Golden Globes on Facebook, where the awards show generated 19 million interactions (posts, likes and comments).
