She might not have been the only star to skip the Golden Globes, but Amanda Seyfried’s reasoning now has fans dying to find out more.
The actress, 37, won the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film for playing fraudster Elizabeth Holmes who founded the disgraced biotechnology company Theranos, before being sent to prison for 11 years for selling bogus blood testing machines.
Up against Jessica Chastain (George & Tammy), Julia Garner (Inventing Anna), Lily James (Pam & Tommy) and Julia Roberts (Gaslit), Amanda was handed the honour at the ceremony, except she was nowhere to be seen.
Like fellow winners Kevin Costner and Zendaya, Amanda did not attend in person, missing it because she was ‘deep in the process of creating a new musical’.
Accepting the award on her behalf, Yellowstone’s Cole Hauser and Moses Brings Plenty explained why she was not there to the audience, however there was no statement read out.
But it turns out she was watching on, albeit in the crowd, dialling in on FaceTime.

The Dropout creator Liz Meriweather posted a video to Instagram at the ceremony showing Amanda on the phone watching her win.
‘If there’s a golden globe category for phone videos taken of actresses winning golden globes over FaceTime, we’d f***ing win. Love love,’ she wrote, tagging Amanda in the post.
Later posting her own video to social media, Amanda thanked the cast and crew of the series, who she said ‘were the reason I got this award’.
‘Oh boy I missed a big night out there,’ she said.
‘It is a true honour to have been a part of that [series] and I had to miss it [the awards] because I am working on something that is magic and musical and so I am finally getting to do something that I have never really done and that’s all I can really say about it but hopefully more soon.
‘It is a lot of work and more fun.’
However, upon hearing the news that she was working on a musical, many people were desperate to find out more, with many wondering if she could be working on another Mamma Mia.
‘This is not a drill,’ one fan wrote on Twitter.
Another added: ”I simply cannot stop thinking about if it’s a Mamma Mia 3.’
Even Westworld actress Shannon Woodward weighed in, sharing ‘Absolutely riveted by the news that Amanda Seyfried is “deep in the throes of creating a new musical”.’

But it turned out it wasn’t because she was happy for her mum, instead she was confused about how Amanda was able to address her through the TV.
Her five-year-old daughter Nina, whose dad is actor Thomas Sadoski, was told that she would be able to stay up late to watch the ceremony and see if The Dropout won any awards, but after being told it was ‘time to go to bed’ when her mum went up on stage, she got a bit emotional.
The Dropout is streaming on Disney Plus.
