2025 Golden Globes saw a viral moment as Zendaya’s amusing response upon spotting Selena Gomez’s partner, Benny Blanco, has everyone talking.
During a short interlude in the three-hour award ceremony, the actress from Challengers stood up from her seat and interacted with other nominees or guests.
In a video posted by The Hollywood Reporter on their new platform (previously Twitter), it appears that Benny and Selena, who recently became engaged, were seen approaching Zendaya from behind when she wasn’t looking.

People rushed to express their reactions on social media about an awkward instance, some stating that Zendaya appeared ‘noticeably scared’ or ‘very frightened’ in the presence of Blanco.

Gomez struck poses within the Beverly Hilton, donning a classic, baby-blue dress with an off-the-shoulder design.
She snuggled next to Benny, sharing a quiet table with her fellow Emilia Perez cast members, the director, and other team members from their Spanish-speaking musical movie production.
During her amusing opening speech, which started the three-hour program, the host of the Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser, took a jab at the couple’s relationship.
Gomez and the 36-year-old record producer have been romantically linked since June 2023.
They revealed in December that they became engaged, but the exact date for their wedding remains uncertain.
Glaser, 40, poked some fun at the newly-engaged couple.
Tonight, Emelia Perez has been nominated twice for ‘Only Murders’ and she’s here accompanied by her partner, Benny blanco. It’s Benny blanco who’s here because of a wish that was granted to him by a genie, as Glazer humorously remarked, causing Gomez and Blanco to laugh uneasily.
Afterward, Blanco planted a kiss on her exposed shoulder, prompting Glazer to remark, “Wow, what a fortunate man,” as he playfully teased the movie.
I adore you, Selena. You were fantastic in Emilia Perez! I couldn’t get enough of it. And Emilia Perez, oh yes! It received ten nominations on Netflix, and I can’t help but love it. It’s undoubtedly one of the most daring, innovative films I’ve ever seen after ‘Is it Cake,’ Glaser humorously suggested.
At the renowned Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, the 82nd Golden Globe Awards were broadcast live by host Glaser.
At the event, Gomez’s movie titled Emilia Perez earned four prestigious awards, among them the award for Best Picture in the Musical or Comedic category.
In a surprising turn of events, our movie outperformed not only the highly anticipated $150 million hit, Wicked, but also the much-loved film, The Substance, in the most sought-after category.
Gomez’s co-star Zoe Saladana took home the Best Supporting Actress gong.
Regarding Zendaya’s contenders, it was the movie’s soundtrack that triumphed, with composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross receiving the award for their work.
