Look, I love Hugh Jackman. Dude has more talent than any one person should every be blessed to have. Mix in the fact that he’s handsome and ridiculously fit and bro is truly living the dream.
Unfortunately, one of his dreams, winning a Golden Globe award for best actor for his portrayal of P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman was shattered into a million pieces during Sunday night’s telecast when James Franco was announced as the winner.

Jackman’s stunned and bewildered face as he watched Franco’s acceptance speech, was for me, one of the true comedic highlights of the evening. And apparently, I was not alone because the internet, as it has been know to do, turned our buddy Wolverine into yet another glorious meme. Amazingly, Ryan Reynolds was not one of them to do it, however.

Going to sleep tonight with hopes that I’ll wake up tomorrow but it will actually be today and the Golden Globes will happen all over again except with Hugh Jackman / The Greatest Showman as the winner of all awards and I’ll have no recollection of this betrayal

No argument here, but Hugh’s going to have to step his game up at the Oscars if he stands any chance of outdoing the sadness Michael Keaton caused by putting his speech back in his pocket at the 2015 Academy Awards.
