A body language expert has analyzed Sofía Vergara’s response after she lost a Golden Globe to Jodie Foster.
The Golden Globes on Sunday (January 5) were packed with memorable moments, from an ‘intense’ interaction between Nicole Kidman and Foster to Kathy Bates tearing up her acceptance speech.
Vergara’s reaction to not winning an award during the annual ceremony has also gained significant attention online.
The actress was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best TV Actress category for her role in the Netflix series Griselda, where she played Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco.
She competed against Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans), Kate Winslet (The Regime), and Jodie Foster, who eventually took home the award for her performance in True Detective: Night Country.
Foster has a remarkable history at the Golden Globes, and this latest win marks her fifth, prompting a humorous comment from Vergara.
As Foster accepted her award on stage, Vergara was overheard saying from her seat: “No, no! Not again! Give me one!”
This reaction prompted numerous responses on social media, with many finding the Modern Family star’s comment amusing.
“Sofia Vergara’s reaction is everything! Love her!” one person remarked.
Another added: “Did Sofía Vergara shout at Jodie Foster, ‘Give me your award’?? Honestly could use more examples of that throughout awards season lol.”
A third person jested: “I LOVE Sofia Vergara. Now, she’s AUTHENTIC. No pretence at all: she WANTED that award! She’s still SOOOO beautiful!”
A body language expert has since provided an analysis of Vergara’s reaction.
Darren Stanton, speaking for Betfair Casino, observed: “Jodie Foster and Sofia Vergara shared a mutual laugh during ‘light-hearted’ heckling.
“Jodie Foster being heckled by Sofia, is quite interesting.
“You’ve got Vergara who lost out, and Jodie’s a tough cookie. We didn’t see the classic signs of contempt, but what we did see is duper’s delight, which is when someone feels they’ve got away with something.
“Because Jodie knows her position in Hollywood, she flashes this big smile, it more or less signifies her position as a Hollywood megastar.”
The body language expert further explained: “I don’t think Foster was being malicious but the subtle look let the heckle go straight over her head, she wasn’t affected or perturbed by it at all.
“I don’t think Vergara was trying to be underhanded or malicious, she was laughing when she did it, and Jodie laughed back. It was clearly light-hearted. Nothing negative, the heckle was meant to be a joke, as it was received.”
