The 2023 Grammy Awards were a historic event that included electrifying performances by legendary musicians.
Ben Affleck also appeared unhappy throughout.
Affleck, the actor-director famous for his grimace and his propensity for appearing depressed while smoking cigarettes, was frequently captured by CBS cameras glumly sitting next to wife Jennifer Lopez during the program. Many Grammy viewers observed how Affleck appeared to want to be somewhere other than Crypto.com Arena.
On stage, luminaries like Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Missy Elliott gave it their all, and newer musicians like Kacey Musgraves and Quavo paid heartfelt homage to musical greats who have passed away.
Affleck also remained steadfastly committed to not being all that interested in it throughout.
The internet laughed at this. Elamin Abdelmahmoud, a writer and radio broadcaster, thanked whoever kept cutting to Ben Affleck as he grew increasingly frustrated on Twitter.
Sadly, Ben. Who, after all, is unable to connect to the emotion of being compelled to attend an event you genuinely, profoundly, do not wish to attend?
Another user on Twitter commented, “Ben Affleck is every husband dragged to a work thing by his wife.”
Yet another Twitter user commented, “Ben Affleck is every introvert everywhere.” His battery life is being depleted in real time, you can see. Already at 23% is man. #SaveBen.” Nevertheless, Affleck’s perseverance made introverts proud. Sad Keanu was aware of his suffering.
Not other attendees exhibited the same level of discontent as Affleck. Many people were shocked when Harry Styles won the Grammy for Album of the Year for “Harry’s House,” believing Beyoncé should have won for “Renaissance.”
Nevertheless, Queen Bey set a record for the most Grammy Awards wins with 32.
Meanwhile, after receiving a Grammy for the audiobook version of her autobiography “Finding Me,” Viola Davis achieved the elusive EGOT.
Ben Affleck eventually received his ticket home after more than three hours of jokes, award acceptance speeches, and live performances.
