Lopez was a MC at the Grammys. The camera cut him and Affleck throughout the ceremony, looking generally cheerful and Affleck a little more melancholy. Twitter reactions ranged from introverts sympathetic to Affleck to some jokes that it was perfectly fitting for him to look sad, given his “Sad Affleck” meme history.
