James Franco was understandably delighted to win the Best Performance By an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy accolade at the Golden Globes on Sunday (7 January) night, but his joy wasn’t shared by film fans on Twitter.

The actor triumphed for his role in ‘The Disaster Artist’, which chronicles the creation of ‘The Room’, a movie largely considered to be one of the worst ever made.

And while fans cheered when he brought ‘The Room’ creator Tommy Wiseau on stage, many bemoaned the fact ‘Get Out’ star Daniel Kaluuya had been pipped to the post:

Oh, James Franco. The #GoldenGlobes2018 were going so well. Time’s up? Daniel Kaluuya was robbed.

Daniel Kaluuya losing to James Franco IS SOME BULLSHIT. His performance in "Get Out" is MESMERIZING. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/CkCdqpWI7o

James also divided fans by preventing Tommy from getting near the microphone:

I am extremely uncomfortable with James Franco cutting off Tommy Wiseau. You owe him everything, dude.

if you’re not watching the golden globes rn, James Franco won for his portrayal of Tommy wiseau, who thought the award was for him and promptly walked up on stage and tried to accept it pic.twitter.com/pDdgYaPmEq

James Franco inviting Tommy Wiseau onstage was great. But then not letting Tommy talk, not so great. Somehow Tommy can't even catch a break while apparently winning.

Wait. James Franco just curved the dude he made a film about. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/joIooAnbXN

James Franco just clotheslined Tommy Wiseau so he couldn’t get to the mic. I’m on the ground
