Kate Winslet’s reaction to being called a “legend” at the 2025 Golden Globes quickly went viral after it was captured on camera. During the ceremony, host Nikki Glaser mentioned Winslet alongside Cate Blanchett and Colin Farrell as part of a “legends” trio, but Winslet’s response was anything but enthusiastic. As soon as Glaser called her a “legend,” Winslet’s exaggerated look of discomfort stole the spotlight. Her “why me?” expression became a viral moment, with viewers taking to social media to comment on the awkward, yet funny, moment. Fans jokingly reacted with comments like, “Kate Winslet hiding from the camera is funnier than anything else we’ll see tonight” and “Kate Winslet’s face LOOOOOL.” The cringe-worthy reaction quickly became meme material, delighting viewers everywhere.
Despite the viral moment, Winslet was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards in 2025. She was recognized for her performances in both a drama film, Lee, and a limited series, The Regime. Although she didn’t win the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series (which went to Jodie Foster for True Detective: Night Country), Winslet’s legendary status is clearly still intact—whether she likes it or not!
