number 10 Natalie Portman singles out
male nominees the 75th Golden Globe
Awards one of the biggest moments of the
2018 Golden Globes was Natalie Portman’s
off the cuff stinger regarding the
abundance of males in the best director
category after the categories scripted
introduction Portman went off script to
the visible surprise of many in the
audience reception to this remark was
split some felt it was in keeping with
the night’s theme of empowerment while
others felt that it was an immature jab
that ruined the nominees moment well it
certainly gave us all something to talk
about that’s for sure this is a pretty
incredible year and I think you’ll be
seeing some nominations I’m predicting
at the Oscars this year for a woman
director if not if not several number
nine adele false starts the George
Michael tribute the 59th annual Grammy
Awards like the overly scripted speeches
and jokes
the musical performances that award
shows can be painfully boring and
creatively stifled so it was extremely
refreshing to see Adele taking her arts
so seriously at the 2017 Grammys that
she was willing to stop her tribute to
the late George Michael and start again
in order to get it right I’m sorry for
swearing and I’m sorry for starting
again
he started again I’m sorry I can’t miss
this afternoon I’m sorry
it showed that Adele truly cared for
Michael and his legacy and wasn’t just
going through the motions
of course some people called her out as
unprofessional untalented and immature
but hey that’s the internet for you it
can’t please everyone
number eight Nicole Kidman and Keith
Urban failed to kiss the 75th Golden
Globe Awards it seems as if Nicole
Kidman can’t help herself from going
viral at award shows first it was her
infamous kiss with Alexander Skarsgard
at the 2017 Emmys that got everyone
talking and then her botched kiss with
husband Keith Urban at the 2018 Golden
Globes got them talking again after
winning the award for Best Actress in a
limited series Kidman stood up and tried
kissing her husband
however urban wasn’t quite ready which
resulted in Nicole kissing the air and
various parts of his head before finally
reaching his mouth pin let us tell you
it did not take long for the Internet to
scrutinize every second of this failed
kiss number 7 Madonna
wipes out at the BRIT Awards the 35th
annual Brit Awards this would be a
revolution of inquiring further
of not worried about winning other
people’s approval musical performances
of this caliber take a lot of
preparation and practice that being said
there’s always the chance for something
to go wrong
this performance marked Madonna’s first
appearance at the BRIT Awards in 20
years but rather than talking about her
brilliant return everyone was talking
about her brilliant wipeouts
we may miss
while performing living for love the
dancers yanked on her cape with the
intention of theatrically ripping it off
however because it was secured too
tightly it pulled Madonna off the stage
instead she continued the performance
like a trooper although it didn’t even
matter everyone already had their topic
of discussion but the thing is when I
pulled that time it didn’t come undone
it went into a knot and yes oh I think
that should be a vicaroo number 6
Brendan Fraser claps the 67th Golden
Globe Awards this probably isn’t how
Brendan Fraser wanted to become a meme
but hey viral is viral this incident
took place at the 2010 Golden Globes
after speaker Robert De Niro made a joke
the camera cut to Fraser who laughed and
did the most Awkward clap in the history
of Clapton side down hard to pass up a
money
the brief clip instantly took off as the
internet created gifs parodies musical
remixes and movie edits with the clip to
freezers credit at least he has a sense
of humor about the whole thing because
not every celebrity is able to keep an
even keel about this sort of thing and
then the camera gets a red light over
and so I was sitting there and Martin
Scorsese making a speech I’m confused
now son there’s a red light on and I
just spazzed number five Lady Gaga bumps
into Leonardo DiCaprio the 73rd Golden
Globe Awards Lady Gaga who knew that a
simple bump could cause so much
controversy and discussion after winning
the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a
miniseries Gaga bumped into Leonardo
DiCaprio whose arm was slightly
protruding into the aisle this
immediately caused a firestorm of
interpretations did Gaga intentionally
bump him was Leo laughing at Gaga which
caused her to bump him in retaliation
was leo sticking his arm out as some
sort of prank was Leo’s reaction funny
or immature then again it just could
have been an accident that was blown
massively out of proportion the
possibilities are endless that’s
trending number four Winona Ryder reacts
at the SAG Awards the 23rd Screen Actors
Guild Awards just when we thought
Wenonah rider was back to normal not too
many people pay attention to the Screen
Actors Guild Awards not mainstream
audiences anyway but the awards went
viral in 2017 thanks to Winona Ryder’s
baffling reactions how do I find you
what should I do
the cast of stranger things had won the
SAG Award for Best ensemble prompting
actor David Harbour to lead the
acceptance speech tired they are not
alone
despite the fantastic speech all eyes
were on Winona Ryder who was making
faces showcasing varying degrees of
bafflement excitement confusion and

number three Tommy Wiseau stands on
stage at the Golden Globes
the 75th Golden Globe Awards when this
moment is written about in the history
books

when James Franco took the stage to
accept his award for his work in the
disaster artist he surprised everyone by
inviting Tommy Wise Oh the subject of
the movie to join him seeing wise Oh on
stage at the Golden Globes was a moment
none of us could have ever predicted yet
here it was in all its glorious magic
[Applause]
while some were upset at Franco for not
allowing wise Oh to speak others thought
it was enough to simply have him stand
on stage and bask in the spotlight for
the first time in his life number two
the wrong best picture is announced the
89th Academy Awards
the Oscars are typically the most
stringent safe and scripted of all the
award shows that being said some
surprising and unscripted moments still
make it into the show like John Travolta
infamously butchering Idina Menzel’s
name by somehow saying adele dazeem
instead but the biggest unscripted
blunder in Oscars history has to be the
infamous 2017 Best Picture disaster
where la-la-land was declared the winner
despite the fact that moonlight was
truly the Oscar winner could be gay but
you know everybody calling all Fame what
followed was pure pandemonium and
confusion and the internet lapped up
every second of it forget going viral
we’ll be talking about this disaster for
decades number 1 Kanye West ruins Taylor
Swift’s night the 26th MTV Video Music
Awards regardless of how awkward the
rest of the moments on this list may
have been they all pale in comparison in
viral terms anyway – the infamous 2009

those of you who’ve been living under a
rock the incident took place while
Taylor Swift was accepting her award for
Best Female Video to the surprise of
everyone Kanye West hopped on stage took
the mic and voiced his opinion that
Beyonce should have won I’m really happy
for you imma let you finish but Beyonce

hysterically crying backstage and even
the President of the United States

getting her award it remains a hot topic
even all these years later and is the
most surprising and viral moment in
award show history so far
I remember being 17 years old up for my
first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child and

in my life so I like for Taylor to come
