Oh No They Didn't! Globes' Most Cringe-Worthy

Posted Jan 16th 2007 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

Sometimes awards shows make us weep a little, laugh a little, or sleep a little. And then there are moments that just make us cringe, a lot.

Last night's Golden Globes was no exception. Long after Ryan Seacrest's thoroughly wince-inducing stand-up with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Warren Beatty made us wince with a deeply awkward (and incorrect) "Borat" impression.

Best TV Comedy Actress winner, America Ferrara, positively made us gnash our soup dumplings when she exited the stage after her touching acceptance speech and waited like a glowingly expectant puppy to be interviewed by NBC's Maria Menounos. And waited. And waited. And then had to run offstage, ignored by the blathering Ms. M. Such indignity!

Then, as Prince was a no-show to accept his award for best song, Justin Timberlake waited for his Petite Purple Majesty to come and collect his trophy, then saved the cringe-worthy moment by making himself a foot shorter and accepting on Prince's behalf.

1. What was with Angelina's perpetually grumpy look? She looked bored, upset, like she'd rather be some place else. I understand she would probably rather be in some 3rd World Country, but she needs to stop and think that awards shows such as these, the appearances that she and Brad put in, are what allow her to afford to donate so much money to those countries. It was as if she was looking like she was better than all the superficial people at the ceremony.

2. just an fyi, america ferrara got interviewed by maria after she stood there for a minute. I guess it works out better for you to omit that though.

4. Regarding the awkward America Ferrara interview, People said it best, "We miss Dick Clark, who used to conduct backstage interviews during the Globes with his customary low-key aplomb. Instead, we got Access Hollywood correspondent Maria Menounos, who pounced on poor Kyra Sedgwick practically before she left the stage. Later, she left a confused America Ferrera hanging, let her wander off camera, then dragged her back to ask her a lengthy and incomprehensible question about the supposed naysayers who hadn't wanted to cast Ferrera in Ugly Betty. Note to Globes producers: It's not like you really need these aimless interviews. Your show already has plenty going on."

5. What Justin Timberlake did was totally in bad taste. He is going to get his ass kicked from Prince's posse for sure. He better watch his sexyback.

6. The Borat golden 'globes on the chin' and fart comments were very distasteful. Isn't this supposed to be a classy event? His "speech" was better suited for the MTV awards. Yuck.

7. One of the worste moments was when Forrest Whittaker accepted. What a bore. Please don't let him win at the Oscars, I couldn't stand another acceptance speach like last nights. It was like nails on a chalk board. Say something....or try to be funny. However, he is a fine actor.

8. How about all the stupid questions Maria Menunos asked America Ferrara!! Is that girl an idiot or is she not very smart?

9. Firstly, America Ferrera was then called back for an interview M. Menudos is an idiot and can't get her sh*t straight.

Secondly, I don't think Justin's comment was in bad taste at all. It was a backlash at Prince who swears that "sexy never left" after Justin's song topped the charts. Prince needs to GET OVER IT AND HIMSELF.

10. Warren Beatty was like a talking corpse---he went on too long, it went nowhere, it was all about him, attempts at humor failed---he should have just thanked people, showed some humility and graciousness. That last line he gave to his wife was not funny nor romantic.

12. Prince was there earlier. He was sitting behind Eddie Murphy. I like justin Timberlake but Prince is the man.

13. Prince was there! I saw him (well on TV). I don't remember where he was sitting, but I commented to my husband about Prince. I don't know why he didn't just go up to the accept the award. Maybe to make a statement. Maybe because he's lazy. Who knows.

14. Why on earth would anyone be afraid of Prince? Personally I haven't liked any of his music for over a decade now.

15. Prince was there! He was sitting brhing Eddie Murphy when Eddie won his globe. Justin, prince is the man! Even if he is a little eccentric!
