1. Michelle Yeoh will 'beat you up' if you try to play her off at the Golden Globes

Don't play it again, Sam — or else. The Golden Globes' big comeback went surprisingly smoothly on Tuesday with a low-key but star-studded ceremony boosting The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin in the Oscar race. But the biggest loser may have been … the piano player? Musician Chloe Flower played a piano visible in the room during the show, so when actors were played off during their speeches, everyone blamed her. "Shut up, please," Michelle Yeoh said as the wrap-up music began, apparently addressing the pianist. "I can beat you up, okay? And that's serious." Colin Farrell also powered through his speech over the music, declaring, "You can forget that piano." Flower received so much hate online, host Jerrod Carmichael eventually defended her on the air, explaining she wasn't actually the one playing people off. "I'm only playing when you see me on camera," she clarified, later tweeting she's "still a forever fan" of Yeoh. #ChloeInnocent!
