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

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.
More on TMZ.com
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.

17. Prince was there. He was sitting behind Eddie Murphy when Eddie won is award. Justin, Prince may be a little eccentric,( ok alot) but he is still one of the best!!

18. Prince got there late, stuck in traffic so he missed his award being handed out.

19. #3, have you ever won anything in your life? Beause if YOU have, and it's something worthy of your life's hard work and expection, you will shed tears. You don't know what you're talking about. As someone in the business for so long, when my time does come, and trust me, it will come! You will see tears. It's not a weakness, it's human, and Forest being one of my favourite underrated actors for such a lenghty time, it's nice to see that good and hard working people do laugh at last. So, in the words of Little Richard, "SHUT UP!"

20. Justin is such a freaking loser, he couldn't wipe Prince's ass! He really wishes he could be Prince, trying to 'play' guitar during this tour, he's hired a drummer and guitar player who are touring with him and used to be in Prince's band. He needs to show RESPECT for the best entertainer in the world, not clown around like that.

btw...if you haven't seen Prince's show in Vegas, GO ASAP! It's actually more of a party than concert.

21. They handed out the Best Song award so early in the show, Prince was stuck in traffic, as Hugh Grant said. At least Hugh showed the proper respect and gave Prince acknowledgement for the award.

22. I felt so bad and embarrased for poor sweet America Ferrera. She looked like she wanted to just fall on the floor and die of embarrasment right there... I wonder why she stood there next to Maria Menounos, was she given some sort of clue that she was going to be interviewed? If that was me,, I would be humilated

23. #1,2 I totally agree. Where are the professional interviewers? Those questions asked were totally way out there "duh"....

I have a comment about Jamie Foxx.........What the hell is his problem??????? Somebody please give this guy a reality check.......I was so embrassed for all the black male entertainers..........He's so loud, rude, ignorant and stupid. Somebody should have thrown his ass off the stage.......dumb ass........and he's not all that..............and

Beyonce claiming to have wrote every song she sings these days "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK"......

24. i thought meryl`s speech was genius.....funny as always and that "that`s all" at the end was legendary....btw,prince was stuck in traffic and that`s the reason he couldn`t accept the golden globe....in general,it was a boring ceremony and listening to people thanking their "lawyers"(yes,i`m thinking mr. bacon`s wife) just turned me off.....i`m just curious about ratings for golden globes......

25.
You know B was mad all night, how over Jenifer winning everything she must be so she wears a loud ugly dress and strikes a hooker pose and still all she gets is ...Why does B look so bad tonight, I love it!
No awards for you!

26. Yeh, What's up with Foxx? Where is the class????????????????????????????????????????

27. Forrest Whittaker rocks. He was overwhelmed by emotion, that is why his speech was difficult for him to do. If this man doesn't win the Oscar, there is no justice in the world. Team Whittaker all the way.

28. Personally I thought Kyra Sedgewick's speech was an embarassment. She thanks her lawyer for god's sake -- but not her castmates? Tacky, self-involved and way too Hollywoody....

29. Of course Prince was there and he is far from Lazy...please!
He arrived late, stuck in traffic and missed his award so he was not there when it was announced but still Justin, you *just *got street cred, I suggest you don't try toppling icons just yet, Prince is an ICON for most of the fan base you are going after, do not F#ck it up. Timbaland might be saying you are on your own..think now.

30. Did you see "B's" face. She knew the camera's was on her when "J" won.
Those fake tears..
