There's no denying that many of us look forward to award season the way other people might anticipate the Superbowl. Watching the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the Grammys, and most importantly, the red carpet pre-shows is not only full of our favorite celebs in gorgeous dresses. The real reason we tune in is to watch the unavoidable awkward award show moments that make the 3 hour long show worth it. For anyone who missed this year's Golden Globes, here's a list of the most uncomfortable moments from pre-show interviews to incredibly cheesy presenter banter.
1. Michael Keaton announces Octavia Spencer's nomination for 'Hidden Fences'.
Whilst presenting the nominees for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, Michael Keaton combined the title of Octavia Spencer's film 'Hidden Figures' with 'Fences', another film up for awards. Definitely not the best time to mix up the name of the films.
2. Emma Stone interrupts a hug between 'La La Land' director Damien Chazelle and his wife.
She reacted immediately acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation. Would it really be an awards show if someone didn't awkwardly try to congratulate an award winner and get rejected? (Let us not forget Oprah's attempt to high five Common after his Oscar win last year.)
3. Jimmy Fallon fumbles through the start of his opening monologue with the help of the Teleprompter following his disappointing opening number. As much as I wanted the song and dance to be funny, it just seemed forced and overdone. It made for a bit of a rough start to the show.
4. Christian Slater reacts to Tom Hiddleston's speech about members of Doctors Without Borders binge watching The Night Manager. His face says it all.
5. Sofia Vergara's joke falls flat.
She mixed up the line "annual tradition" with a less appropriate tradition. Those who were not actually watching the show can use their imaginations to fill in the blank. Most people in the audience and watching from home were confused why the writers chose to include the joke and how it fit in to what she was presenting.
Let us all be thankful for the annual laughs, awkward encounters and memorable fashion that the Golden Globes provide, and keep counting down the days until we can pick a part the Oscars.
