Donald Trump narrowly won over Hillary Clinton and will be the next President of the United States. Let’s see some Hollywood reactions.
Most of Hollywood had been openly campaigning for Clinton to win the election, with some of her most high-profile supporters counting Beyoncé, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joss Whedon and Meryl Streep.
Trump’s victory left most of the country — and the world — shocked and confused, but while some celebrities reacted with outrage and disappointment, others had words of encouragements as they begun to look ahead.
Here’s a small sample of the shock and sadness that is felt in Hollywood right now:
Um, America?

No but seriously: THIS many of you don't mind the body-part grabbing xenophobic man who says "there's my black over there?"

This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.

Some didn't like Bush. Some didn't like Obama. But this is different. Forget dislike. Many are genuinely fearful now. This is new.

Hollywood looks ahead
For those looking for words of encouragement, celebrity tweeters had plenty of those, too:
Hold your loved ones close tonight. Let 'em feel it. Get some sleep. Back at it tomorrow. Love has a longer wick than hate & fear.

I'm taking tonight to grieve for minorities, women, immigrants, muslims & the LGBTQ community but tomorrow I'm waking up ready to fight.

Be tired. Be mad. Be honest & concerned. But be not afraid. Rest up. Be safe. Come together. Construct. Know your surroundings. Be creative.

Woke up feeling like I'd had a nightmare. Then started crying again. Mantra: I am not alone, we are not alone.

The tears have come. I haven't slept in 28 hours and the tears have come. And I'm just so sorry. For all of us. Truly. Time to get to work.

Donald Trump has given me, who is 94, the deep desire & will to live to 98 so I can vote for whoever runs against him.
