Golden Globes memes: Lady Gaga’s '100 people in a room' speech hilariously mocked by Sandra Oh

Lady Gaga’s favourite sound bite from the A Star Is Born press tour was mocked by Golden Globes 2019 hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, prompting some of the best memes of the night.

While promoting the hit musical, which picked up five Golden Globes nominations ahead of the ceremony, the singer repeated the same anecdote about her director Bradley Cooper: that there might be 100 people in a room who didn’t believe in her, but she only needed Cooper’s support to make her dream come true.

A supercut of Gaga telling the story emerged online shortly after, compiling various versions of the singer saying “There can be 100 people in a room and 99 don’t believe in you, but just one does and it can change your life.”

The viral clip clearly didn’t escape the notice of Globes hosts Oh and Samberg, who poked fun in their opening monologue.

Discussing achievements in film over the past year, Oh said: “And it just proves – and I’m just coming up with this now – that there can be 100 people in the room and 99 don’t believe in you and you just need one to believe in you and that was Bradley Cooper.”

As she made the joke, the camera panned across to Gaga and Cooper’s table, showing the singer laughing as she shouted: “It’s true!”

Samberg picked up where his co-host left off, re-iterating the anecdote and telling the audience: “There can be 100 people in a room and 99 of them don’t believe in you, and one does, and that one is Bradley Cooper.”

The duo’s parody immediately prompted a wave of memes which riffed on Gaga’s memorable quote.

Some turned her phrase on its head to account for A Star is Born’s surprisingly low success rate at the Globes, winning in just one of the five categories in which it was nominated, as fans joked that the "99 people" might all be members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes' voting body.

Others suggested that the singer might have to scramble to re-write her planned acceptance speech after Oh and Samberg's joke.

Perhaps the most ambitious memes of all were those that combined Gaga's "100 people" quote with Fiji Water Girl, a woman handing out refreshments on the red carpet who became the unexpected viral hit of the night thanks to her photobombing skills.

When Gaga did finally make her speech after winning the Best Original Song award, she steered clear of the anecdote altogether, instead tearing up as she thanked the co-writers of Shallow.

"As a woman in music, it is really hard to be taken seriously as a musician and songwriter and these three incredible men lifted me up, supported me," she told the audience.

She later ceded the Best Actress award to Glenn Close, who she described as a "true legend" who "deserves every award" in a congratulatory tweet.
