2025 has been incredibly emotional for Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, who lost their house in the Los Angeles Palisades wildfires back in January. Seeing Leighton tear up at the news of Adam’s win, and their passionate kiss after, actually brought a tear to everyone’s eye. They were really the most deserving people in the room that night!
One Reddit user noted how Leighton appeared to say “I’m so happy” in the full video of Adam’s win. What a moment.
Kathy Bates’s explicit reaction to her win
I don’t know why Kathy Bates would be surprised at her win given her incredible acting skills, but her reaction gave away that she was. She said “Oh f**k. F**k” after her name was called, and honestly, who wasn’t laughing?

Although Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater seemed very loved up for most of the night, there was a cold interaction between them that made fans online suspicious of their relationship. In the short clip, Ethan puts his hand on Ariana’s waist, but she swiftly picks it up and removes it. The interaction is a little strange for a lovey-dovey couple, that’s for sure.
The user who posted the video described them as “giving touch base casual convo with coworker” vibes, and another said, “not grabbing his hand AND removing his other hand from her waist.” Could it be a sign things aren’t as happy as they seem? We’re probably reading too much into it.
