Gosling had a hunch. He knew she was watching when he bagged a Golden Globe in 2017 for La La Land. He dedicated the award to Mendes’ late brother. He thanked her too. For what, you ask? For everything.
She took on the world so he could make the hit musical. “If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today—so,” he said. He looked straight into the camera. “Sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you.”
Mendes? She caught the sentiment from afar. She responded with a wink. She posted a snap of Janelle Monae’s Globes outfit. The caption read, “Obviously this wasn’t my favorite moment of the night…But it was definitely my favorite style moment of the night. The stunning and talented @JanelleMonae is killing me with this look. So so so beautiful.”
Romantic vibes can’t be photographed. But, for the rest of us, some exchanges will have to be Kenough.
And oh, keep reading. You’ll see all the couples who are making a date night out of the 2024 Oscars.
